How can I get Firefox to let me use Internet Explorer. I have to use it to register some software and Firefox is blocking it and all of Microsoft.

We recently had to reinstall windows xp pro on our computer. We then reinstalled Mozilla.

I have to reinstall all of my software such as my Microsoft Office, but our computer will only go through Internet Explorer to activate it. However, Firefox will not allow access to any Microsoft site. Firefox says that the Microsoft sites do not provide identity information and therefore will not allow them.

I am a professional writer. I need my Microsoft Office to work and it cannot work unless I can activate it.

Just open IE, Firefox doesn't block it from working. You can even have both browsers open at the same time, if you want to.
