You can have multiple browsers? as internet explore and mozilla firefox?

Sometimes I wonder "do you want to be your default browser to internet explore.» I say still no. is there a time where I should use internet explore instead of Mozilla Firefox? am totally confused. I am not computer, so need to know in terms of "laymen" s, please. Thank you

A browser is software that allows you to 'see' the Internet. Yes, you can have several browsers installed and it's actually a good thing because if you think you want one browser over another. It is also good for troubleshooting because if you have questions related to the Internet, you can run the other browser to see if the problem is specific to the browser or a more general problem of Windows.

Personally, I prefer Firefox over Internet Explorer but * you * should be the one to decide what he * you * like. Here are links to various browsers, you can download and install to try:

Firefox
Google Chrome
Safari
Opera

  • Just last week, on Internet Explorer and Mozilla, I have problems shows a safe web site and pages.

    Only in the last week Internet Explorer and Mozilla are problems displaying or find some website and web pages. It works perfectly fine on another computer. Here are the pages that I shot to the top of many times and they are secure pages. Companies that have been around for years. For example: when I go to my wordpress.com account and try to go to the dashboard, which is where I make changes on the Web site of my blog, and it will not come to the top. Also my site through wordpress will not come to the top. What is going on?

  • When I download an update for a program it opens Internet Explorer and not Firefox

    Firefox is always kept open on my PC. When I have an update of the program, I accept that but then Internet Explorer opens for me to download the update. It would normally usually Firefox. Why opens Internet Explorer and not open in Firefox as per normal?

    Which depends on the program involved. Some programs will use the default browser , that the user has defined in preferences, while others will use the browser that comes with the operating system. IE in the case of Safari on Mac and Windows.

    They are not search engines. They are called browsers, and Yes you can use Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer on the same computer at the same time. You can also add Google Chrome and a few others without causing problems for your computer.

  • Internet Explorer and Firefox immediately the accident

    I have a Windows XP computer that has problems with Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox webbrowser.

    Neither one will open the office shortcut menu or anywhere else.  When you double-click the icon of the hourglass will be pop up for a brief second or two, then stop.  If you try to double-click the icon of Firefox the second time, it evokes a crash report.  The pc has internet connection, I know this cause, we were able to get updares for Microsoft, Antivirus and a Malwarebytes program.  I also ran a virus and malware to see and both came back perfectly fine. It seems to me that it's an admin setting, as if the admin did not give other users rights to use, but it has begun since Monday and last Friday, they were able to use it normally.  They are on a field, at first I thought that this might have been a connection problem.  I wanted to remove the pc of the field and back, but did not know that the domain password and none made the worker.  Apparently they have a crew of tech OK but they never come down and they always use remote access to their problems (if you ask me which is pretty cheap).  So, without being able to check if it's an issue of domain, rights user programs or else I couldn't fix this pc last night and since then I'm going crazy to explain why this issue is not solveable yet.

    As I told my client last night, "I must get home and meditate on this one, it's a bit confusing... »

    But my question: is there a way to bypass the admin to check the settings of other users access rights to the programs?  Or is there a fix I could use to temporaily give rights to the user?

  • You can have more than one plan at a time? that is: after effects CC App photography

    I can't afford to pay for the whole package CC, but I really miss Photoshop in my workflow. In all the promotional stuff, the plan only one app is available to those who want only "one or two" apps, but I'm guessing that the two only applies to the PS + LR

    Pay an £8 / additional MB for Photoshop would be useful, but it is not immediately clear if this is feasible.

    If anyone has tried this, or knows an answer I would appreciate your help!

    I'm not all sounds with Firefox. I have a sound with Internet Explorer

    Hi bholmes,.

    Have you looked at the article Knowledge Base, what to do if Firefox will play all of the sounds? There are many good advice on troubleshooting in there. You might have its just accidentally disabled for Firefox.

    There is also a chance it's a plugin problem. If the first article does not help, take a look at common audio problems and graphics issues.

  • I have internet explore and google chrome, which delault program do I use for pc to run properlyI have windows 7

    I have windows 7 and I have internet explore and google chrome on pc. What delaults will work properly my pc? Continues to explore Internet cuts like facebook, I don't have anyone to ask and cannot afford to take my pc fixed up! Teach me how

    "I have internet explore and google chrome on pc." What delaults will run my pc correctly? »

    Firefox? No, really, the browsers are largely subjective. Many people swear by Chrome, but
    many people swear to the Chrome. Even with IE and Firefox, but I have used Firefox for
    about nine years.

    Other considerations are your internet connection stability and speed.
    Try to run the speed Test (type this name in your search engine) to check if you have found
    good speeds. This after the browser is de-energized as long as you are connected to the internet server
    can slow down during peak periods.
    For example, my broadband speed will reach 20 + but will drop to less than 5 between
    6-8 PM on occasion. It is always a high speed and wasn't about to give up, just an example of
    how a connection can vary.
    You need to get off near the speeds of dial-up (or should we say slowing down) before having
    dropping out of school due to the lack of speed in most cases.
    The other possibility is the quality of the line of your home Exchange.
    Old copper cable can also cause dropouts

    What I've read, Facebook has frequent problems, probably for similar reasons, but in this
    the case that it would be their own updated servers to the test under heavy traffic load.

    Also make sure you have Adobe Flash and Shockwave and another browser "plug-ins" to date. -
