For a Mac, Is it possible to see “trusted sites” that are supposed to be viewed by Internet Explorer only?
ByI recently got a MacBook. After I got it, I discovered that I cannot get to my work database site unless I have Internet Explorer. However I downloaded Firefox and set the User Agent Switcher to IE. That should have worked, but I got this message:
“JavaScript is blocked
You need to enable JavaScript for your browser in order to run this application. One way to do this in Internet Explorer is to add (site URL omitted) to your Trusted Sites list. On your Internet Explorer menu, click Tools, then click Internet Options, then click the Security tab. On the Security tab, click Trusted Sites, then click the Sites button. Type (site URL omitted) . Click Add, then click OK or Close, then click OK. The site is now on your Trusted Sites list.
Click here to enter the application after JavaScript is enabled.”
I checked my Firefox preferences and I DO have Java and JavaScript enabled on it, so I am at a loss as to what to do. There is no “Trusted Site” list on Firefox of which I could find.

I’m afraid at present there is no way of seeing Trusted Sites.
Once again us Mac users are being discriminated again because we choose not to use a Microsoft product.
Mozilla (Firefox) is aware of the issue and hopefully when Firefox 3 gets fully released (Out of BETA) they will have a solution.
One short term fix would be to use BootCamp on the Mac, you can reboot your Mac in to Windows XP (SP2) if you’ve got a disc, or even better use something like VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop where you can have both Windows XP and Mac OS running on the same screen. Once again you need an unregistered version of Windows XP Service Pack 2, but it would be a fix none-the-less.
