Your question may or may not have to do with Firefox. If you create your presentation using Web standards like HTML then you should have no problem opening/displaying it on any computer regardless of the operating system. If you are using software like PowerPoint, your recipient's Mac will need to have suitable software for viewing a PowerPoint presentation. (Note that you can get PowerPoint for Mac.) In this latter situation I would suggest that you may have more success saving your presentation as a PDF as this format is more portable across operating systems.

Yes I think my problem is why have my recipients insisted on Firefox when they could have just said HTML or PDF it dosnt seem to make sense to specify a particular browser. As its something I know little about they've made it confusing, but through coming on this site I think Im a bit clearer...

thanks for your help
