Firefox and Windows 7.

    A neighbour had a problem with FF 3.5 on Windows 7.

    Had a look there earlier today. It installs, but won't connect to the internet. There are no proxies. It's just a basic dsl from perlico.

    IE works fine on it. Now I've just looked at the system requirements and Windows 7 is not listed.

    Has anyone used it on 7 and got it to work, or was it just a fluke that it worked for a while before crashing and not working again?

    Also, utorrent on 7 too. Tried the newest one and it just kept crashing.
    Has anyone had any luck there, or is it going to be a matter of waiting for the developers to make a version which works with 7?

    Ok.
    Then there is obviously something wrong with this laptop.

    The owner told me that she had been using some streaming video site and I can only assume that it's illegal.
    She's a Sky subscriber and tried to download films from them. Said that she went to work, came home 12 hours later and the film was only half way done. 3Mb line. Resorted to this site because of that. I'm fairly certain that it's one loaded with some sort of spy/malware.

    I'd name the site, but I can't remember the name, I don't use those sites myself and I'd probably be banned if I did name it.
