So I've been trying to access a lot of things from the Mac associated websites but I'm pretty sure it's just Safari that is causing me problems. With SOLAR it wouldn't let me continue past getting into SOLAR so it took me forever to figure it out and get on with another computer. Then with the Horizons registration forms they keep coming up blank when I try to open them up. I have also tried opening these forms with both internet explorer for mac and firefox but even those are coming up blank so I'm starting to consider the idea it is a bigger problem than just Safari.

Any ideas?

Don't use Safari... Firefox is the best browser by far (for both Windows and Mac users), and you can't beat the ability to install add-ons.

I love Firefox... I deal with less adware and malicious attacks from the internet, I don't see advertisements (because of an add-on), and I've skinned it to match everything else on my desktop.

Also, all of Mac's websites and everything are compatible with Firefox

If you're having trouble accessing thingsl like SOLAR or other parts of Mac's websites, it's probably a server-side issue. They come up more often than you think.

I just seem to be encountering problems with Firefox as well, and I've been trying to get newer versions of Firefox but nothing seems to be working. When I try to login to something like mugsi it gives me the option for my macid, so i sign in and the login window continues to reboot after each try never actually allowing me in

Try logging into Maccess, and let me know if you can access MUGSI through there:

Thanks a lot that did work. I completely forgot about maccess. I guess it doesn't really solve the horizons problem but this is better for the long term.
