I use a web site that displays incorrectly when viewed in Firefox. When I change to the ie rendering machine all appears as it should. How can I automatically save a bookmark to use this rendering machine when I click on it? I am using the latest version of Firefox, 3.6.9

Which extension are you using to open a website with IE ?
Did you check the options to see if you can always use IE with that web page?
I would assume that that will also work with a bookmark.

You have a corrupted user agent: Firefox/3.0.8;MEGAUPLOAD 1.0

You have or had an extension installed (MegaUpload toolbar) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6.x to Firefox/3.0.x.

You can check the general.useragent prefs on the about:config page.
You can open the about:config page via the location bar, just like you open a website.
Filter: general.useragent
If general.useragent prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose Reset.

See Web sites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser and Find what version of Firefox you are using

Thanks for the Firefox/3.0.x notes. I just fixed that little problem.

I also found an answer to my own question by clicking in IE Tab Plus options under the Tools menu. Once there, I was able to add the problematic web site to the Site Filter and now all works fine.
