I just switched to a Mac and now I cannot get onto the Consumer Reports website because they require Internet Explorer or Firefox as a browser and I am using Safari. What can I do?

Works just fine for me and Safari.
No problems accessing Consumer Reports via Safari on my iMac. What error message (if any) are you getting?
Firefox can be downloaded here.

And me !
This is JudithRomanesca. Consumer Reports wouldn't accept my correct username and password. Somewhere I saw something about it accepting only IE and Firefox. I read a lot of posts from people who were trying to get a version of IE for Macs. That sounded pretty chancey so I tried to download Firefox for Mac. That took me forever because after I downloaded it I couldn't find it. When I finally found it and went back to Consumer Reports, I was able to sign in. Don't ask me why you all could get into CR with Safari, I couldn't.
I am starting to regret trying to switch to a Mac. I am having a lot more problems than I thought I would. My husband went from a PC to a Mac and had no problems, but he had actually used a computer very little, whereas I was reasonably proficient and now find a lot of things I can't figure out "intuitively" as I thought I would be able to and I am frustrated.

A better description of your problem would have helped.
At first you said you could not get into the web site - several of us tested this and found that we could access the web site.
Now you say you have login difficulties with the site - this is not the same thing.
As far as I can tell others cannot test this for you unless they are prepared to pay a subscription.
