I agree kreed, but...

Users are forced to use it when micro$oft, and some other products do an upgrade, or call a browser, and they do
actually force you into it.

If it was up to me, I would kill the thing.
There should be a law punishable by death (or worse), against apps not using the default browser.

Perhaps direct an attack of the relentless Roddle-bot, or the recently discovered Godzilla Sea Monkey, against
non-compliant authors.

I assume that xp users mustn't install the new version. After all, one so called expert in that article claims 67 per
cent of corporate desktops are using xp.

Cheers Don...

Firefox still has bugs that make it unusable at times.

IE can't download dynamic content over https.
Gee... then I am not REALLY watching videos over https when I thoght I
was? What was I looking at, then?

That could be. I have a Cisco 2950 network switch with a built

from the main page so I use IE. Do you think Cisco would use
non-standard links?

Fact is FireFox works where IE8 and now IE9 don't and now use three
browsers (FF,IE,Chrome) whereas before I only used "Internet
Explorer". Futher fact is Microsoft since Gates left has become buggy
junk I will be faceing up to giving Google Chrome if they can get it
working

Part of the problem with browsers not working, I have found over many
years, is some people installing every damned one there is. I have FF4
and IE9 on mine and it works well. I have UNINSTALLED Chrome from many
machines and problems just disappear. This isnt to say that Chrome is
the problem itself but that something along with Chrome caused the
problem. I dont like Chrome, I must admit. FF4 is probably the fastest I
have ever seen a browser work to date.
Yes I find Chrome very buggy also. Where it is useful is reading
foreign newspapers it has a Auto Translator for most languages

FF I like the spell checker. Not come accross one that works well in
IE

Of course I would think so. I work with Linksys ADSL routers which use ActiveX for VPN - ActiveX is propertiary technology that only works with IE and only run under Windows, it is not compatible with anything else and it is not part of any standard. It is just Cisco's/Linksy's way of saying most of our customers are Windows based and fuck the rest.

On the other hand I run old HP printserver that serves Java applications to web client (browser) and it works great in Firefox. BTW that print server is very old and probably was designed before Firefox but it was designed to adhere to recognized standards.

1: you probably are looking at static content
2: it's displaying not downloading.
3: it's probably not IE displaying it.

If you offer content for download (using the header "Content-Disposition:

and serve the page over HTTPS IE spits the dummy.

Damn! I am going to have to complain to all those places like smh.com.au
and sales sites and to the makers of Dreamweaver which I used to make
dynamic sites. Even used Expression Web. I always thought that dynamic
content coming on over https and http were real. Now you tell me it was
all faked! I am so floored!
 
IE9 doesnt work on Win7 either!! IT refused to click through to several ebay

Yes that's right. If you want to fix the Bugs in IE8 you have to
Buy Windoze 7 and install a new set of bugs called IE9
If you want the bugs Fixed in IE9 you will have to Buy a new pile
of Bugs called Windoze 8 when it's half way finished after it escapes

FF fails with some links and some pages, crashes, and is a magnet
for viruses. FF won't work with my Cisco 2950 switch.

If you are using Firefox, or some other web Browser other than
Microsoft Internet Explorer you may occasionaly see this error - or
something similar - when you click to install a program from this
disc..

"InstallShieldEngine (ikernel.exe) could not be installed":

This is because the setup routine for this program is not contained in
a single file. When you clicked Open (as is the case with Mozilla
Firefox) your browser has first 'downloaded' the file to your hard
drive, then tried to run it. Trouble is it only downloaded the
setup.exe file to your PC without the rest of the program's
installation files.

It is possible to make a web page that depends on the quirks if IE.
Quite a lot of our internal pages at work are like that especially the
ones created by the IT department.

You just install ietab to cover these stupid cases, just right click the
page and select ietab and it uses the IE engine for that tab only.

installation files.

Never seen that either.

Like I said, it's never been broken or me. You are probably not a
typical user.


Exactly, either someone with a special system, or requirements who
never works outside of that area, or
a paid shill for microsoft, who has got little chance on here of
anyone listening to him or taking him seriously.

Maybe MS should just keep their money ?
How much is Mozzila paying people to promote their product?
They would be better spending the money fixing FF.

Yes that's right. If you want to fix the Bugs in IE8 you have to
Buy Windoze 7 and install a new set of bugs called IE9
If you want the bugs Fixed in IE9 you will have to Buy a new pile
of Bugs called Windoze 8 when it's half way finished after it escapes
(I mean released) from Redmond later this year.

If you want a browser that is unusable at time you want Firefox.

I think you left out a word, as that doesn't make sense.

They still can't fix it.


It's never been broken for me.

FF fails with some links and some pages, crashes, and is a magnet
for viruses. FF won't work with my Cisco 2950 switch.


Never seen those.

PC user cover CD

If you are using Firefox, or some other web Browser other than
Microsoft Internet Explorer you may occasionaly see this error - or
something similar - when you click to install a program from this
disc..


Never seen that either.

"InstallShieldEngine (ikernel.exe) could not be installed":

This is because the setup routine for this program is not contained in
a single file. When you clicked Open (as is the case with Mozilla
Firefox) your browser has first 'downloaded' the file to your hard
drive, then tried to run it. Trouble is it only downloaded the
setup.exe file to your PC without the rest of the program's
installation files.


Never seen that either.

Like I said, it's never been broken or me. You are probably not a

It is possible to make a web page that depends on the quirks if IE.
Quite a lot of our internal pages at work are like that especially the
ones created by the IT department.

You just install ietab to cover these stupid cases, just right click the
page and select ietab and it uses the IE engine for that tab only.
What about when FF refuses to work with a link or does not render
a page properly?
I still use FF but there are times when I am forced to switch to
another browser.
