They tell me that they only support IE. I switched to Firefox because I did not like how microsoft tries to take over my computer with all its downloads with out my permission. I need to log onto this site. The site is KENYON international's member only site. Can you give me any advice. I love firefox by the way.

Change the UserAgent to make that site think you are using IE.

Spoofing the user agent as IE may not work if the website uses IE proprietary code or ActiveX.
In that case you will need to use IE, either directly or via an extension like IE tab or IE view to use the IE rendering engine via Firefox.

There are other things that need attention:

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.

  1. Shockwave Flash 10.1 r85
  2. Java Plug-in 1.6.0_11 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)

Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.

Update the Java plugin to the latest version.
