Journal mcgrew's Journal: I need a new browser 7
At least until I put Linux on this notebook. FireFox 21.0 is wierding out like IE6 on a lot of sites, including slashdot. I can't even change my sig.
What browser are you using?

Are you running a nightly build or a final release? I've gone through Firefox 21 recently on both Linux and Windows with no problems. Any plugins that could be causing it? (Firegloves makes a lot of sites "weird out")

But I think I'm going to end up back on Firefox, since I've come to believe that it was a plugin or combination of plugins that was making it bad.
