My website was set up in Microsoft Frontpage using Internet Explorer. I added Firefox but when I try to make changes to my website through Firefox, it won't work. I have to make changes through Internet Explorer. On my computer when I go into Firefox and check out the website, it does not show the changes I made in Frontpage, but on other computers when going to the website through Firefox the changes are there. How do I correct my computer so that I can see my changes on Firefox as well as Internet Explorer? Thank you for any assistance.

I just opened the webpages through Firefox and while on the page Firefox did not change I hit control F5 and it changed the page. Thank you so much. It is now up to date on my computer also.

It does not help my problem. The last time I uploaded my website through firefox, it worked OK but this time it refused to go to the upload page unless I entered the User name and password. I entered the usual password etc but it rejected it stating that the password was wrong (Error 530) . I then went into the upload page using an older version of explorer and managed to upload properly. Unlike the other replies, when I went into Firefox to check if the alterations had been made, they were perfectly visible in Firefox. I need to get this right through Firefox since I cannot rely on the Explorer connection for much longer. I have also had a problem with my visitor counter which has suddenly disappeared off the website. Virgin gave me some suggestions for reloading but to no avail. I am beginning to wonder if it is the same sort of problem as the other i.e. a difficulty with a proxy server. Can anyone help, please? I am a very limited user.
