I like Firefox waaaaay better than Internet Explorer.
I just have one little pet peev.
If I want to paste images (from MY imageshack or photobucket account) or change my font size, color, or just the font I can't do this in Firefox, I have to use Internet explorer.
see, look:
firefox comcast e-mail

my question is, how do I get that bar to show up when I use firefox?

*You* don't, *they* do. I'll explain.
As with most things, Microsoft thinks that they set the standards (the rest of the world really doesn't care what Microsoft does - in fact, Europe keep suing them for doing things the US allows them to get away with). IE is *NOT* a standards-compliant browser. This means that if you want your site to work properly you have to write what's basically 2 sites - one for IE and one for everyone else. A lot of site developers won't do this and opt either to write to the standard and ignore IE users, or write to IE (since all versions of IE combined still represents more than half the market) and let the rest of the world go swing. That's what happened here - Comcast's Webmail program obviously only supports IE, not the W3C (world wide web consortium) standards. (You'll notice it's called the world wide web, not the Microsoft web. The news hasn't reached Redmond yet.)
You can complain, but I doubt it will do any good. (I had a bill I was paying for 12 months - with IE - their site wouldn't even accept Firefox.)
