Is there a way to turn off the little pop up that occurs when looking at Gmail using i.e.? "Some of the pages contain unsecure content proceed yes or no" I get tired of having to click yes etc. every time I look at my email.
Hey its not asking me... which browser are you using?? Also it asks like that then defenitely there must be an option that remembers your choice...
Try TOOLS - INTERNET OPTIONS - ADVANCED Should be a check mark box near the bottom of the list. While you are there browse through the rest of the settings there. You may want to change a few others. Hope that helps out
I'm using I.E. 7 (I know it sucks, but I use it anyway to see how my websites look in the most commonly used browser)
which option was it though, I didn't think I saw anything that looked like it would fix the problem I was describing and I didn't want to screw up one of the settings or something.
Try Tools | Internet Options | Security and look through your internet settings for unwanted prompts. I think it was somewhere in there that I changed it.
I'm surprised people still use IE, Its always bin a source of problems for me soo Firefox was the natural alternative and I couldn't be happier
I despise IE, but know what you are talking about. Firefox just released a feature ( having brain block and can't remember the term for it) where you have an IE button on your firefox browser and can look at the site in IE without opening a new browser window. I just downloaded it a few days ago....
here's the link for the IE tab plug in ( theres that word I was looking for!) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419
Firefox is not a resource hog. The problem is with all the add-ons that people typically add. If you have a fresh install of Firefox without a bunch of junk then it works fine. I quit using IE at version 6 but IE 7 is actually not too bad.
That wasn't the experience of many people. I don't have "a bunch of add-ons" in Firefox - I only have it installed for checking web pages, along with Opera. Firefox was always a resource hog on my system even without add-ons.
Perhaps you had different problems. Firefox is not inherently a resource hog. I have had my problems with it but those problems have pretty much always been from add-ons. Otherwise I have used it fine across many different OS's. Use what works for you though, whatever is clever.
I'm not going to debate it with you. Some people love Firefox; some don't. I accept that you may have had wonderful and ecstatic experiences running Firefox. I haven't. On my system, as I've said, I find it slow to start up, slow to browse and load pages, and it eats resources. I don't know why it seems to behave that way on some systems and not on others and I don't really care. I am happy with IE7. My second choice would be Opera. You are obviously happy with Firefox. So be it.
I just wish that the web would be more opera friendly. I don't know why people don't go for opera? It's fast, stable plus with all the functions that firefox needs add-ons to accomplish. - Opera offer the speed dial, - voice commands - goto url shortcut for those non-active links - nicknames where you can just type in the title of a saved bookmark on your address bar and it will auto insert - Page zoom - mouse gesture - Opera show (ms powerpoint, without the powerpoint) and many more I say download opera now! With more user using opera, the web would be opera friendly!
I do like Opera but it's still a bit quirky in how it renders certain features on web pages. I use it as part of a trio: IE, Opera, and Firefox. If you can ensure that your pages display correctly or at least tolerably in all three of those browsers, you should be okay. In the old days, I used to keep Netscape 4.x installed as a worst case scenario. If I could make pages presentable in that dinosaur, they would display pretty well in anything.
hmm netscape, the good old days. It use to be where FF is right now. Not too sure if FF is going to have the same fate as Netscape but with the way it is going now I don't really think FF is going anywhere besides they just acquire eudora and make it open source. Do agree that opera has its problem, but the problem is not on opera but on webmaster who don't really consider opera to be worth the effort. Maybe they should do what FF has done, pay google to pay webmaster to display download opera today!
