I didn't want to clutter the thread with more unrelated garbage.

I'm having the exact same problem, so it's okay by me :)

On a lighter note, that fixed my Partypoker problems from the other thread. Thankfully, IE doesn't know how to set itself as the Linux default browser.

Hmmm ... why would party poker require IE ? Technically Opera can identify itself as IE, so it should work ... that's strange.

davidnix71:
Party Poker loads ActiveX. If I want to listen to Yahoo online music, I have the same problem (on a Mac). Either I use IE or run VPC Win98. If you are on a pc, Firefox now has a replacement for ActiveX, so in theory you can do the plugin, fake your user agent string and go anywhere IE is 'required'.
