Firefox vs. IE7

[Mescalito 19]

I upgraded, if you can call it that, to IE7 a few weeks ago and quickly became very disappointed. I then installed Firefox -- much, much better! -- and now use it as my default browser. I've noticed, however, that when I scroll my mouse pointer over a BM's reputation icon nothing appears; the bit of text that is supposed to appear to describe that member's rep doesn't show up. So far that's the only thing I've noticed, so I don't know if this is something I'll have to live with if I'm using Firefox, or if there is some setting in the browser I need to change. Any ideas?

I am using Firefox 1.5.0.8 and I have the reputation marks. If you are using the version 2 it might be different. I have elected to wait with upgrading until they ironed out some "baby illnesses"

This is a Firefox thing - I'm using Firefox 1.5 and can't see anyone's reputation score. I'm not really into this so it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Not really - as stated I am also using FF 1.5 - and I CAN see them - but wouldn't care if I couldn't

Hi,

 

I use IE6 and Firefox 2.0. I can't install IE7 as I am running 2000 on my laptop. I find IE tends to be faster on these forums, but Firefox seems to have better security. Maybe Firefox would be faster if I had XP or some other newer OS but I am happy to play around with this setup when I am on the net.
