Web Browser

Everytime I open my IE browser, it opens up in a very small window that I always have to stretch or maximize. It’s not a problem just quite annoying. On my old pc it always opened up already maximized to the size of my screen. Is there an option that I can set to make it that way?
Thanks answers 1 and 2 but I closed it both ways and it still opens up small. I guess I’m stuck with it lol

u dont have to use anything, just grab a corner and make it bigger. once u close it normally by the x button in upper right it’ll open up exactly in the same size as u closed it.

otherwise fully maximize it, close it and u open it it’ll be maximized.. it’ll always be just like u left it.

Yahoo had an advert to download FireFox browser. I click the link to download the programe and saved to a specific location. Then when i click on the saved programe, it generated an error, that says that the program is not an 32bit programe. Can anyone help? Where can i download FireFox?

here is the link:

I’m concerned about other people logging on to my computer (friends, family members, etc.) who may come across my web surfing history. I tend to always clear my history to prevent this but I was wondering if there was something more effective and quicker out there that may help me maintain my privacy. Also, can someone actually obtain my IP address if I have a firewall? What’s a good firewall?

If you want easily erase your web browsing history, you should use Firefox (http://firefox.en.softonic.com/ie/50473) It has a "clear private data" function (you can find it under the "tools" section) which will not only erase your history but also all other traces of browsing.

If you want a good firewall install Kerio Sunbelt (http://sunbelt-kerio-personal-firewall.en.softonic.com/ie/19952)

To hide your IP the best app is Hide IP (http://hide-ip-platinum.en.softonic.com/ie/42628)

good luck!

I am looking for a nice FREE web browser that has a well organized bookmarks feature, such as having thumbnail previews of webpages and also possibly being able to save pictures into the browser as well. If anyone has seen Armorsurf, I am looking for something like that but FREE. Also, with armorsurf you need to pay for the feature of exporting pictures, does anyone know of a FREE browser that meets these needs???

firefox/google chrome. firefox works great, has great safety, and you can customize its looks and add plenty of add ons for almost anything from the firefox add on center. i use firefox on all my computers. google chrome has a pretty cool bookmark feature, and i like its design, but it doesn’t have as good safety features and gave me allot of spyware. (nothing serious but allot of websites have some add based spyware).

Right now, if a page is loading for upwards of five-minutes my browser times out. I need a way to keep my browser from timing out while loading a page, no matter how long that page load may take. I would rather use Firefox for this, but I have IE as well.

I don’t know if this works, but give it a try:

In Firefox, go to: about:config
In the filter, type: timeout

Look at the various network settings and try fiddling with them.

Why do companies all compete to make the best web browser and obtain the highest market share? How are these browsers profitable for them?

They make their profits from website developers. If I created a website today it would take up to 3 months before each browser would start noticing it. However If I pay them some money my site will be seen faster and moved up the ladder more quickly…depending on what I could afford.

Developers will start paying the largest browser company first…if its affordable..then carry on with other companies for more exposure. This is one example

I have just started using Mozilla Firefox, and it is my default internet browser. But when i use msn, things like my e-mails still come up in the Internet Explorer window. I was wondering if there was any way of changing it so that it opened with Firefox instead?

go into your setting and make firefox the default browser instead or IE

What is the best web browser out there?

EX: Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera

Firefox is generally the best there is. However, it’s not the FASTEST there is. Opera is much faster in rendering web sites that Firefox.

MSIE in all incarnations is crap, and dangerous to the health of your computer. You should only use MSIE in the event you absolutely must browse a site created by a lousy site designer who built the site only for MSIE because they’re 0wn3d by Bill Gates and afraid of Ballmer’s flying chair of death.

I need examples of both and how they behave differently in different browsers.

Transparency can be used to show two different elements of CSS that work on different browsers.

The Web Standard in CSS 3 for creating transparency or opacity is only supported by Safari and newer (Mozilla) Firefox.
The CSS3 standard way of declaring transparency is opacity: 0.5;
Mozilla (version 1.6 and below) uses the property -moz-opacity:0.5; for transparency.
IE uses the propietary filter:alpha(opacity=50);

This code has been taken from the site in my sources:

CSS:
<style type="text/css">
<!–
/* This is the background image */
#bg {
width: 400px;
height: 300px;
background: url(leaf.gif) repeat;
border: 2px solid black;
}

/* This is the transparent box */
#transbox {
width: 300px;
margin: 0 50px;
background-color: #fff;
border: 2px solid black;
filter:alpha(opacity=50);
opacity: 0.5;
-moz-opacity:0.5;
}

/* This is the container which set text to solid color.
position: relative used for IE */
#transbox div {
padding: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #000;
filter:alpha(opacity=100);
opacity: 1;
-moz-opacity:1;
position: relative;
}
–>
</style>
HTML:
<div id="bg">
<div id="transbox">
<div>50% Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing etc. etc.</div>
</div>
</div>

Thank You

Hope that helps
