Long Distance, Old Browser

stoutfellowFor several years now, I have been able to access my office computer from home. Recently, though, it stopped working; I'd click on one of the (series of) links involved, and the browser would just sit and spin.
Last week, the IT people announced that the system would be revamped to accommodate Windows 10 as of Tuesday night. Today, I finally got a chance to check it out.
If I go in using Firefox (my browser of choice), I can get in, but an annoying pop-up, asking permission to do such-and-such, makes three or four appearances, and the browser seems confused until the connection is completed. Likewise if I use Edge (which I'm trying to avoid).
You know which browser gets me in without any fuss? Internet Explorer.
Yeesh. I've put IE on the status bar, with the link to the office computer as home page. This is the only thing I'm going to use it for.
