Guest c4evap Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Found this site while surfing for info on Windows updates. Let's you download the updates using Firefox instead of IE! Coolness... Alternate Windows Update Site NOTE: In order to download Windows updates from this site an ActiveX componant will be installed. I'm trying it right now.

raven3x7 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Huh? Firefox doesnt support ActiveX only IE does. EDIT Ok after a quick check it looks clean actually. Although its a browser plugin. Not that it makes any difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonstalker Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Run Firefox with the IE extension (when needed). Am trying out Opera right now. Very similar to Firefox but a few different features. Either (to me) is preferable to IE and either will let me open IE specific pages without too much of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
