IE 9 Beta impressions/questions
Okay, so i saw an ad about IE9 and how its awesome and stuff. Me, being a firefox user, and avid dislike-er of IE 7/8, was apprehensive, but hey, i gave it a shot, and i actually kinda like it.
I value form as much as function, and i love the way IE9 looks. reminds me of firefox3 beta, actually... What kind of personalization options are there?
Anyways, a few questions/concerns:
1) is there any way to have a bookmark toolbar up at the top, like it has in firefox?
If you dont know what i mean, this is what i mean
2) I visit a site that uses a lot of javascript, and every time i log into the site, windows pops up with a security question, asking me if i want java to be used. This never happened with firefox, so i dont know whats going on. i figured i could just give IE9 admin abilities, but that doesnt sound like a good idea in the long run...
3) there was one bug i found already, and it was very very odd. I went to go change my homepage, in tools>internet options. IE9 froze for a few seconds, then the highlighted menu option stuck on the screen. I closed IE9, showed desktop, bandbox selected over it, force closed IE9 and even force closed explorer.exe. The only fix to the problem was a restart, Though i didnt try opening a fullscreen program, or relogging into windows. but still, it was really odd that force closing IE9 didnt fix the problem.
4) I tried going to youtube, however it says i need flash for internet explorer. I go to download it and it says that the link is to a version that doesnt work for IE9, and it links me to one that supposedly does. i installed it, and it still says i need flash.
Anyways, does anybody have an answer to the questions? Sorry if theyre all well known, i dont normally use IE. I really am impresed with this version of IE, however, and i think i may continue to use it over firefox! thanks!
