You can download a plugin for firefox called IE tab that will allow you to start an instance of IE within firefox.

Does this ONLY happen with "microsoft.com"? If so, it's a conspiracy! Just kidding! Try going to www.microsoft.ca in Firefox. If it opens, please try the following, in Firefox, and see if there is any change.

1. Go to Tools / Options

2. Go to "Privacy"

3. Go to Cache, Cookies, History, etc... and click on the "Clear ..." button.

Technically, there should be no reason why you cannot go to www.microsoft.com. If there is still a problem, then you really have a strange issue.

NOTE: There is no reason to download a plug-in to enable Firefox to "behave" like IE. This is not necessary. Also, defeats the purpose of using Firefox anyway. I have used the plug-in for testing purposes, so I do not have to reload browsers.

You can always do a FULL install of Firefox and download a fresh copy and install it again, if there are problems. Or even try the Opera web-browser.
