You're kidding yourself to call Firefox 2.0.0.1 from October 24, 2006 a "solution". The problem is with old webpages that haven't been updated in a decade or two. The web marches on and web browsers follow the survivors. Although I had no issues viewing that website in Firefox 58.0.2 or Firefox 38.0.5.

View the source code for that website. Basically a Word document wrapped in HTML that favors Internet Explorer - 2 decades ago. 

<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name=ProgId content=Word.Document>
<meta name=Generator content="Microsoft Word 11">
<meta name=Originator content="Microsoft Word 11">

That type of IE specific code is from the last century, which may be compatible with Edge, but isn't read too well in almost any other web browser.

Looks good in Firefox considering the age and that it's a Frame-based page.

You downloaded a more than ten year old Firefox version  ? I will spare you the lecture, cause I trust that you're using this for that Extreme Tracker only, and are using the latest Firefox version for everyting else .....

Well, if this solved your problem : Would you be a dear and mark your own (last) post as Chosen Solution  ?

What part of the website isn't working?

You can check the Web Console for error messages.

  • "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Web Developer
