Best browser to develop for ApEx, Firefox or Internet Explorer

Greetings!

I have a simple question, which is the best web browser for Oracle ApEx (Application Express)? I already know the answer, Firefox, but Firefox is blacklisted by my current employer.

My main reason for asking such a question is to help me make a case for my internet company security guards to allow Firefox to install on the workstations of the ApEx developers. Currently, we are limited to using Internet Explore (IE 6.x) only.

The security of Firefox has been implemented for not allowing it is installation or use on all computers on our corporate network. There are some who believe that IE 6.x is more secure than Firefox 3.x.

My expertise as a developer experienced ApEx that was used at the time and has become a more effective developer since I use Firefox with the Firebug plug-in. Firefox and Firebug allows a JavaScript debugging that is far superior to JavaScript debugging utility that is available for IE 6.x.

Please make suggestions that can help me to present a convincing argument to allow Firefox to be accepted on the members of the development team ApEx systems.

Thank you

Charles

Hi Charles,

Look at the following websites:

http://www.Mozilla.com/en-us/Firefox/#feature-vsie
http://www.Mozilla.com/en-us/Firefox/security/
http://www.CNET.com.au/software/Internet/0, 239029524,339271935,00.htm
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2007/01/internet_explorer_unsafe_for_2.html

Either by the way have you never read nor heard that IE6 is more secure than Firefox?

Kind regards

Tobias

    It's really a matter of personal preference. He has Firefox, Chrome, Safari and many more. They have differences, but as long as you have a decent security program, it is really important that you use. Try a few and see what you think. They are easy to install and easy to remove. Most will import your Favorites during the installation.

  • How can I block a site to be seen in Firefox? Internet Explorer allows a list of sites that are blocked for each category of site (Internet, confidence, etc.).

    I want to be able to block a site to be seen in Firefox. Internet Explorer allows a list of blocked sites in each of the categories - for example Internet, confidence, etc. It contains a generic function. How can I do this in Firefox?

    A more direct way to submit a feature suggestion is:

    Help menu > submit your comments

    However, in the early days the community add-on provided extensions such as NoScript and AdBlock Plus to build these features and refine their feedback from users. Unless there is a good reason to integrate these features into the core of the product, I don't think it will be a priority for the developers.

  • I have 28 of Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 running on a Windows XP, I can "desensivise" the copy mode?

    I have 28 Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 running on Windows XP
    I'm compiling a list of www.thegazette.co.uk
    Sometimes the Explorer is slow, very slow, take up to five minutes to move from one page to another, but I can copy and paste paragraphs of her.
    Firefox is fast but splits a paragraph into small sections (sometimes a letter) and each of them as simple features pasta in Notebook or Word. I am so in five minutes a page after I reassembled things.
    My current compromise is looking in Firefox, then load the address of the page in Explorer solutions for the treatment of the paragraph.
    I can "desensivise" the method of copy of Firefox?

    I have the same problem when I try to copy the text, but all copies fine if I download the PDF file and open it with Adobe Acrobat/Adobe Reader. Try this if none of the cor - el or jscher2000 PDF viewers proposed work.

    To do this there is a button at the top of the image that the document is in (it looks like a sheet of paper with an arrow above). Click here and you will be prompted to open the PDF file or save it. You can then choose to open it with Adobe Acrobat/Reader or save it in your file downloads, in which case you can open it by clicking the download button (the arrow at the top right of the default browser window) and select it from the menu. If you don't have Adobe Acrobat or Adobe reader, you can download Adobe Reader here.

    Yes, it's a known issue, if you declare the width with css and not online.

    Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network support Windows (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test.

    Make a check of malware with several malware scanning of programs on the Windows computer.
    Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
    All of these programs have free versions.

    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

    Hi Eric,.

    Unfortunately, IE and FireFox (and most of the other browsers as well) have different default attributes for the HTML tags. It is likely that you see this for you tags TD that contain data.

    The first thing to try would be to force nowrap on TD. In the area of the region of your report header, add in something like:

    <style type="text/css">
    .t18data {white-space: nowrap}
    </style>
    

    (replace the number of theme you are using 18)

    If this does not work, there are other things, we can try.
