I wonder if they have gotten the IBM Web people to realize this --
because there is a big difference in the behavior between FF and IE in
the area of logons for IBMLink and such.

I certainly hope so, Steve.

I got soo tired of removing the Backdoor Graybird virus from IE in my
registry and watching it being installed promiscuously, albeit the windows
were in Chinese, on YouTube.

Never had another problem after switching to FF and installing Kaspersky
Anti-virus.

Not even a single pop-up.

Much better than Norton or Mcaffee
 Btw:  The Chinese claim they already have bot nets large enough to take
over the USA.

Maybe toymachines, but mainframes, never.
