    This is not usually a Firefox only issue. If your connection is slow for some reason (or fast with tons of packet loses) then certain sites (Usually slow loading sites that do not have caching - Like FNB) will not load their style sheet. This is why all the content is there but the style is gone. Usually one would refresh and everything would be ok, however because you are on a banking site that does not allow auto-cashing and because you are using a browser that is fast the stylesheet has no time to load. Sometimes it tries to get the stylesheet faster that the slow site can produce it..... hope I made some sense

    When FF fails to load the CSS file like that, try CTRL+F5 the page. This forces it to reload the site without the cache. I have experienced similar problems (not with TFSA) but nothing that doesn't come right after a refresh.

    I've also just installed FireFox 4 RC, looks and feels good! I was just so damn sick of the FF 3 memory leak that I had to change!

    No comments on IE9 just yet; I use WinXP on my laptop and, as we all probably know, M$ has decided to release IE9 for just Vista and Windows 7 despite the fact that half the worlds computers still run on XP.

    The last time I used IE was version 6. I thought it was a pitiful browser and the security was horrific. I changed to FF the same year PC World rated Internet Explorer 6 the eighth worst tech product of all time. Nowadays FF's lack of stability is leaning me more and more in the direction of Opera. I'm just not keen on Opera's tabbing system.

    I'm not sure if McAffee's worked in previous FF's. But FF4's been out for only a few weeks now - maybe they still have to update McAf.

    I'm using Avast! instead, and they had an update about a month back which made them work in FF4RC, it works fine on my current FF4. I've had a situation of one other forum site getting blocked due to malware - it picked this up no problem at all.
