Using Win XP there are URL:s which doesn't work at FF 8 but open in Internet Explorer. My friend using Win7 and knows a lot of computers tested same URL:s and told me there's a bug in FF8. When I write for example www.tarjanompelimo.com in address bar or use any links including that URL browser goes to empty index-site but should go to http://www.tarjanompelimo.com/main.htm. In earlier versions of Firefox there hasn't been any problems and it's still working in Internet Explorer.
