The tech guys have locked down the computer and I cannot see the network settings and have no access to the registry. Firefox always times out so I am forced to use IE6. How to set up Firefox to get round this?

Presumably, you're talking about your company's administrator. It probably wouldn't be wise to try and circumvent their network policy. It might get you fired even.

A better idea would be to show them how insecure IE6 is - it's no longer supported by Microsoft for example and exposes their network to all kinds of attacks - and that it's in their own interests to use a secure browser like Firefox 4.0

Maybe they'll even promote you!

Thankyou Xircal. Unfortunately I want a technical answer not a political/moral homily. I am a big boy now. Please, if you are without enough knowledge to solve the problem don't respond.
