Latest Internet Explorer 9 Release

[Phone Man]

Probably not worth the trouble if you depend on your system. I use FF mainly but I decided to wait for the final release.

Not sure yet whether I should try it or wait a bit longer, IE is the only browser I use and it's the only one I have installed.

I think someone said Roboform works in IE9, I use that and have it as a Toolbar under the Menu bar, my main concern would be if it worked on my shopping site and bank, if not is it a lot of hassle getting back to IE8 ?

I say give it a try Joan.

Worst case Scenario, restore with a system restore.

I've had no problems with any of my bank, credit card, cell phone, cable, or utility accounts.

Roboform works for me.

Here you go Joan,

How do I install or uninstall Internet Explorer 9?

I haven't had any hassle with my bank either, but it's up to you.

 

[echrada]

Joan I have had no problems either and it really is a great improvement.

 

[Mellon Head]

Agreed. Wow, I'm running the x64 version with the new x64 Flash and this just blows Firefox right out of the water. I might have to switch.

 

[xarden]

Are there any x64 flash apps around to play with?

 

[derekimo]

How you do that?

Here you go,

How do you move it to the right ....
Mine is on the left ...?

Thanks

Try adding the favorites bar, that's what moved mine over.

I take back what I had said about flash running like it did in IE8 from yesterday.

Even though I never messed with the settings in the Advanced section of the internet options, when I restored settings to their defaults now web pages are running smoother and flash is just as smooth as it is in Firefox and Chrome.

Simply amazing.

I have the Menu bar showing all the time - File-Edit-Favorites-Tools-Help - it is on the left side of the browser. I want it on the right side of the browser.
How can I this?

Not sure, mine is on the left too.

My biggest complaint about IE9 is the inability to set the menus etc. where I want them like I can in Firefox.

 

[DarkDavil]

I think it will work for me great, as long as it stays fast..er.
All i use, i Opera, and now IE9 has a great GUI, and also has a sort of nice bookmark page in the new tab-menu. So it's pretty awsome. Its fast too.

I installed it, tried it and dumped it within 15 minutes. There are no Favorites bar or Menu bar. I already have Chrome, which I rarely use, so I don't need another "chrome" style browser.

The I.E.9 browser is not compatible with the Dell users forum unless it uses the compatibility mode.

You can get the Favorites bar if you right click next to the tabs and check the "Favorites bar" option.

Yeah, I hope that we can customize later on, 'cause I also want to make the buttons smaller like in IE8. And even though it's not too much of a big deal, I'm hoping the .gif speed issue gets fixed too.

Do you mean how IE8 had one on the right? Right click next to the tabs and click "command bar" if you mean something like that.

Been using it a bit more today, and it's becoming alright. I prefer having the favourites bar and command bar added to the UI like in IE8. It's still in beta so I can't say too much about performance for me, though I find it takes just a bit longer to load SF than Chrome. I notice it aligns everything and you can see the icons for each forum move in to position, where Chrome doesn't do that.

But IE was never good for web page layouts, so I guess it's nothing new lol.

-->> Favorites Bar..needs to be transparent.
I like the Favorites bar on all the time but its SOOO ugly.
Other than that like the download manager,look,single address/search bar, simple look UI.

I don't think I'm too crazy about the menu layouts, and I'm also a big fan of Firefox's ability to set up the menus the way you like. Maybe somebody will make an add on for that. Heh, maybe I will myself.

I do have to say that I'm really impressed with the fluidity of the page rendering and the overall loading speed of pages. The scrolling is impressive too. Scrolling in FF is a little bit jerky. IE9 behaves a bit more like I would expect a browser to run on a relatively high end machine like mine, so we'll see.

I'm a die hard FF user, but I'm going to give this a go for a week and see if I really like it.
