You obviously have not tried IE9 with all the updates & add ons......

For those who like playing with different web browsers and have yet to try IE9, Here is a tip.....

Don't assume that all the bits & bobs like " Flash Player " & " Java " will come neatly packed in with the main IE9 update or download.....!

Once you have downloaded and installed IE9, You should then make sure to update Flash & Java......!!

AND don't forget to do the Java thing in both 32bit & 64bit browsers, For those with 64bit systems.....!!!

As yet Adobe don't seem to have been able to cobble together a release version of " Flash Player " for the 64bit IE9 browser.....!!!!

They keep threatening to.......But don't hold your breath......



Just ran FF4 and its no faster than my IE9 32bit browser, In fact FF4 is a tad slower on some sites.

Could just be that the damp string between my gaff and the exchange, Is a little damper than usual....

Or maybe there is no real magic in the FF4 mix......!!!!!!!!!!!

Have installed IE9 on my W7 PC but it doesn't appear to be compatible with XP. Speed appears about the same as FF

Still prefer the Chrome interface

I cant use Firefox, everytime I've tried I just get Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a a file.. blah blah. But it is there, it installs

Since installing FF4, I seem to have lost the Progress Bar at the bottom right of the screen. Anybody else?

That one threw me too for a few minutes. They have renamed the progress bar to the 'addon bar'. I have been running it with some addons and site is still quite fast.

Regardless of browser choice, the more add-ons/toolbars/plugins/extensions you have the more likely your browser will get slower because of them so it's important to only ever run what you need. Firefox has the ability to install addons but disable them. So when you come to a point that you need it, just re-enable.

I can't find a dropdown list for the back button so that I can just jump several pages at once. Surely we don't have to jump back 1 page at a time? Easy solutions gratefully accepted!
