Not really a problem, just want to know why. Reading that thread about Internet speed and speedtest.net got me curious because it had been so long since I tested myself, so I went to that website. For some reason it was not working for me. I was using Firefox inside of Sandboxie. I had all scripts being allowed, allowing all cookies, killed my adblocker, and if that website uses Adobe Flash I have the latest version. Then I went to speedtest using IE, also inside of Sandboxie, it worked. Went back and forth between the two browsers, always inside of Sandboxie, IE always worked, Firefox never. Any ideas why?
Thanks, Acadia

Boy, this is really weird. I had been turning NoScript off before going to speedtest. I went there with it NoScript still enabled and got a different screen that said something to the effect of, This site requires Adobe Flash but you can try our new beta site which does not use Flash. I clicked and it took me to a page with just a single button. Then I killed NoScripts and the test site appeared, and worked. Go figure.
