Ramblings of an old Doc

 

MS has released IE 10 – probably in the hope that it will win back folks who’ve migrated to Firefox and Chrome. Wanna bet?

Currently Firefox holds 20% and Chrome holds 17% of the browser market while IE (all editions) holds about 55%.

Since IE10 was tied to W8, it’s exposure has been limited (apart from the “preview”). Since W8 is only at 2.3%, MS is releasing IE 10 to try and compete independently from W8.

And watch out for the little check box “I would like Bing and MSN defaults”. You’ll have to uncheck that on the download page if you don’t want them.

OK I can see the edit, quote, and other buttons while using IE9. Been awhile since I have used IE. In Firefox the buttons disappear. Even with Adblock disabled the buttons still do not appear.

 

Well there you have it.   Following your kind of reasoning/comments one would have to now conclude that Firefox sucks.......... 

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

For the record.  On my PC machines I have always used IE and nothing but.  On my various iDevices only Safari.   Firewho?.......bah.......hehe

Well the buttons work in Chrome as well. Wonder why Firefox isn't working right even with Adblock disabled and removed.

Can I reset that?

I dunno....everything is working for me. Although I'm still seeing the view edits button on The_Monk's post this time. BTW....downloading IE 10...it comes with required updates and...may contain other MS software despite the fact that I unchecked the Bing and MSN defaults. We'll see what that's all about.

No worries. A reboot of Firefox cured it. Thanks Jafo.

Yes Ross, I took note of that as well and it did give me pause. But so far my browser speed has been impressive, and hopefully Microsoft has not compromised my privacy with the "other MS software" .......we'll see.          --Ace --

Using IE 10 now but I see no difference as far as page loading is concerned, but that's my net connection. I see all the buttons and no view edits buttons but....I had to refresh the page twice. Actually three times as the first time it refused to refresh. The second time it was incomplete. Page stopped loading with this forum page half finished. Now its working. I'll play with it a little bit and see how it goes. And it still won't be my default browser even though it is completely skinned. Oh...when I click on view and the toolbars the progress bar is checked, I like to see what its doing, but no progress bar shows up.

I switched back to FF. Believe it or not Firefox scrolls a helluva lot faster than IE and on the home page...the preview skins are cut in half, the bottom half is on top and vice versa. The same for the new uploads. And IE is still butfugly!

Oh goody. What starts out as a nice informative announcement by the good Dr turns in to a "My browser has a bigger penis than your browser" hijack.
