I have in the past opened my Comcast.Net email account using Firefox 2.0.0.20. Today when I tried to get to Comcast.Net when I clicked on the link "I do not want to update Firefox. Take me to Comcast.Net" I was not connected. I need to keep Firefox 2.0.0.20 in order to use some of my other accounts. Why cannot I open Comcast.Net?

You'll have to ask Comcast about that issue.

Worked for me with Namoroka 3.6.18pre (which is the latest nightly version of Firefox 3.6) on Monday, but doesn't work today - Comcast changed something yesterday or today. I tried clearing my cookies for comcast.net, but that didn't help.

edit
Try using this extension to make Comcast think you are using a newer browser than you have.

I tried the Firefox add-on but it didn't get me back onto Comcast.Net. I called Comcast and the person who responded had no really good suggestions. She did not say Comcast had changed its setup the day before, but implied that I'm just going to have to live with it.
