Sid_Wolf Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Just downloaded IE9 after being told how cool it is by the OH's dad... Its annoying me already, on IE8 I had a row of favourites along the top, fb, other forums, ebay etc. They're all gone now! Is there any way to bring them back? All I can find is how to pin them to the taskbar, I dont want them down there! I want them in the same page so I can flick between them Grrrrrrrrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staceybob Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Im sure there probably is a way, but I'm using version 8 still so I'm not sure. If you dislike it, you could always remove it and reinstall version 8. Stacey xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elyse Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I think you should get Firefox, personally. I find it much better than IE9. To each their own, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormchaser09 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I'm also having a wee problem - at the top of the page on the husky forum I have the message ' IF YOU ARE SEEING THIS MESSAGE, YOUR BROWSER IS SERIOUSLY OUT OF DATE. PLEASE UPDATE TO IE8 OR ABOVE, OR CHOOSE ANOTHER BROWSER.' I have downloaded IE9 and the message is still there. not causing a problem but annoying.

For example you will see here the compatability icon is highlighted. This basically treats things like they are Explorer 7 When this is off you will notice the text is not there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nedim_SA Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 If u like to have fast, stable and easy to use browser where everything is available with just one or at max for some system settings, 2 mouse clicks Use firefox please. Microsoft is late with that version, very very late as firefox had most of that features in earlier versions. No alternative really, at least for me.

Microsoft is late with that version, very very late as firefox had most of that features in earlier versions. No alternative really, at least for me. Unfortunatly although I would love to agree with you, firefox lately is an absolute nightmare and a shadow of the browser it used to be. Whilst it is still very compliant with standards, its interface has changed to be pretty much the same as other browsers on the market, its javascript engine is slow, it's compatability with standard plugins such as flash and the likes is clunky at best. Real shame for a browser that used to be the best on the market. PS: I work with them for a living. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed #5 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Marc, I've just switched to Firefox 64 (minefield) and agree flash / etc are a nightmare. I used to be a big fan of Opera, I paid for the desktop version - back when it was a for fee product - so I'm really disappointed in the direction they've taken. Firefox seems to be following this same path, adding to the "enhancements" and ignoring the operation of the browser. Just my two cents worth! //al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I agree with the fact Firefox hasn't quite improved in the newer versions. Especially since they're now wanting to crank up the speed of new major releases which does give lots of people in various IT areas quite some headaches. I probably would've used Chromium if it wasn't for the loads of addons I'm running in Firefox now which I can't live without any more.

Nedim_SA Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Well that could be issues regarding software itself, i like to have many tabs open at same time in maybe two firefox windows, and what i have noticed is really what u say, flash plugins do crash when listen youtube music while few more videos loading, frequent hangs of application it self which can last for over 10sec, which i was thinking was because OS problems, as i have very powerful PC mainly because my work requires it and, i do play games to see graphic improvements. I am afraid that with your opinion also pointing to same problems that this isn't faulty OS but browser itself. I don't know much nor like javascripts so i can't comment about that but i think that this problems are also applying to other browsers as well, problem could be with so much new things added every day, constant flash updates, higher loads - and it is becoming more and more difficult for every team behind development of browsers to optimize them and implement changes with much testing , as competition is dictating pace of this race, so why not release untested product? Add few eye candy features to mask problems and repair that with updates. Firefox was mostly known for it's speed and great optimization but technology is developing way too fast this days. Sorry for long post but this is very interesting subject and u did hit the spot to start thinking about it, but i admit, as u work directly with one of teams, that u have better level of information but i think that these reasons that i mentioned are main problems in browser business. And many electronic based products today, it's price of faster improvements i would say where only end customers gets screwed up and pay the price.

Marc Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 yup lately firefox has been peeing me off even tho i used to love it what would ya reccomend marc? In order at the moment: Chrome Safari - pretty much even with chrome IMO IE9 Firefox Opera - only reason below firefox is compatability with coding standards.

Arooroomom Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Google Chrome is the best, fastest, and easiest web browser available now, IMO. I use to love firefox, Chrome blows it out of the water. I haven't used IE in years lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrome has improved that much in the time it's been out?? I looked at it when it first came out and didn't like what I saw at all. Safari, in my opinion, seems "too cute" they seem to implement much of what Opera has (and in cases better) but it still (at my last look) seemed to be more interested in the "bells and whistles" than on the browser itself.

lebe03 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I started using Chrome for work a while ago as IE9 was causing some issues with the GUI client I run and I must say I prefer it to IE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree!, FireFox for me at least USED to be the go to browser, but its no where near as gd as it used to be. Chrome is the best atm. But IE9 is cool, I like the ability to drag tabs into their own seperate Window, Handy when u've got dual monitors ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
