The reply boxes look really small when using mozilla firefox.

Is there any way to have that fixed?

What? And go back to IE?

Pffftt.... Please... ;)

I mean, I know it's not a big issue, but maybe if a lot of people also use firefox or some other non-IE browser then it could be looked into.

And here some info to help you. This post is from another message board. I was boggled by the fact that netscape and mozilla looked a like:
A little history:

Starting with version 6 of Netscape, it has been based upon Mozilla, the open source project. Netscape's source was released to the heads of this project in order to promote further development. Various milestones of Mozilla were used as the basis for Netscape. Netscape would take that source, add their own extras (such as an AIM client, because at that point, Netscape was owned by AOL), disable some features (such as blocking images from certain servers), and release the binary. The latest (and last) Netscape release was based off Mozilla 1.4.1. Netscape has decided to stop releasing browsers since. However, the Mozilla project continues regardless (it's now up to 1.6 and 1.7 will be released any day). The general consensus is that Mozilla has less corporate fluff added and is less bloated as a result.

So in essence, you have it backwards: Netscape is a clone of Mozilla, not really the reverse.

:funny: For real! Lately IE has been acting funky and I don't bother with it. Unless I have to go to sites that are not supported by Mozilla.

I just got Firefox a few weeks ago and I also noticed that boxes were smaller. I've asked people about it and nobody knows, so I am assuming it can't be fixed. I really don't even notice it anymore, so you'll get used to it.
