mea, There is absolutely no reason why you can't run FF on your PC. The requests it makes are standard http so BT broadband wouldn't have a clue whether it was IE, FF, or any other browser(Opera etc).

Less, your problem does sound like display drivers rather than FF. I have a similar issue at work excpet its IE that does it where FF is OK. Have you tried reinstalling your display drivers? It sounds like there is a dependancy somewhere that has become broken. A re-install should fix it. (IE probably makes a different call to the video driver to update what is being painted to screen hence it works whilst FF doesn't.)

For those who think we are FF pushers what I would like is only for people to try it. Have a go with tabbed browsing, Ad-blockers, ability to open all your favourite pages with one mouse click(or even by default at startup!), mouse gestures etc. Once you use these features you will find it very restrictive to move back to IE. IE hasn't been updated in over 4 years now( and by that I mean new releases with different codebase). That is a LONG time in this game.
