Yes - my most frequent problems are with the smaller
purchasing sites. I can't think of one offhand to give as
an example but I know it happens on a too frequent basis (I
do a lot of online ordering).

Is there an add-on for Opera so that I can right click and
show this site in Opera the way I do with IE - in other
words, a right click "view this page in Opera"?

TIA

Opera is my desperate last ditch attempt,so I don't know much about
what it can or can't do. alt.comp.freeware may have a guru or two
that would know.

Only site I have to use Opera on is "Lane Bryant" And my last
purchase from New Egg didn't go so well and I ended up getting the
memory chip I wanted from Amazon for less money. . .

Forgive me if I'm telling you how to do something you already know:

If you're having trouble with placing orders check the scripts in FF.
The little "S" on the bar in the right lower corner? Usually has a
red slash through it?

Right click on it and see what it says - it will show all the sites
that want to use scripts from the one you are visiting. Allow them or
temporarily allow them. The red slash goes away after the page
reloads (or all the tabs on that site reload).

If you have allowed scripts for one and more sites are requesting
scripts the little red slash is smaller and doesn't occlude the whole
"S."

The newsgroup alt.fan.mozilla will have a helpful guru that can assist
with FF problems.
