Don't bother asking Belkin support either.  This is their response when I 
complained that their router configuration interface only worked with IE.

"We understand that you are not able to configure the router using Firefox 
browser page.

Jim, Belkin routers are operating system independent, it will work on all the 
browsers.
You need to reset the browser setting to the factory default and change the 
connection type to "Never Dial a Connection".

This should solve the problem."

BS.
