Can Internet Explorer sync bookmarks, settings and history just like chrome?

Google Chrome provides the ability to install their browser and sign into it to retrieve settings, history and bookmarks. As far as an end user experience, this is great.
I want to user IE across my work servers, my home servers, desktops and laptops; but I do not want to install chrome on any servers and I want to get rid of it (chrome)from my desktops and laptops.
Does IE provide a similar, if not identical-to-chrome functionality in the above context?
Cheers.

My bookmarks,tools and history icons have dissappeared

when i downloadedthe latest update of firefox for windows the icons on the tool bar for bookmarks,tools and history just dissapeared.

* If, on Windows, in Firefox 3.6 the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down or press F10, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
* Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click on it to make that permanent. See [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
* If you see the missing item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window onto one of the toolbars.
* If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

I switched from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox and my bookmarks don't appear to have been transferred. The FAQ's say it should be in a folder marked Internet Explorer in the "Bookmarks Menu", but it's not there.

Did you see a "Bookmark" tab in your Menu Bar? All of your IE Favorites should be there if you pull it down.
FYI, It's called Bookmarks in Firefox.

Can Internet Explorer (IE) be downloaded to and used on the late 2008 model of iMac running OS X 1.9.5?

Can Internet Explorer (IE) be downloaded to and used on the late 2008 model of iMac running OS X 1.9.5? If yes, where can it be downloaded from?

Only if you run Windows. IE does not work on a Mac without Windows.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Lost bookmarks, cookies and history when I moved the Folder 'Users' from the C disk to D disk. What can I do to retrieve them intact?

Lost bookmarks, cookies and history when I moved the Folder 'Users' from the C disk to D disk. What can I do to retrieve them intact?

Hi voyant
I would put the Users folder back... moving it will cause a lot of issues with applications.
Instead you can just copy individual files/folders from C:\Users\your_username\Documents,Pictures,Music.... to your D drive to save space on C.

Chrome did something. Insetad of all my Bookmarks, settings and Apps it's a fresh Chrome. Like the day it started. How do I restore the Chrome that was there?

Chrome did something. Insetad of all my Bookmarks, settings and Apps it's a fresh Chrome. Like the day it started. Virgin, naked, nothing there. How do I restore the Chrome that was there?

Chrome 'syncs' your information to its servers, so you can restore this information when you sign into your account, regardless of what device you are using. As for the latter part of your comment, I am not really following. I don't have Chrome currently installed on my machine so I can not help you step by step. All I know is you must SIGN IN to your google account on chrome and check the chrome preferences.
Google dashboard will show you all the information associated with your google account stored on their servers:

My system needs internet explorer for a application I need to down load, however I need to down load the latest yahoo tool bar for internet explorer to work properly and firefox will not allow the down load of yahoo toolbar. How do I fix this?

I have not used Internet explorer since downloading firefox and I need IE for a trading platform that I need to use. In order to get IE working I apparently need to down load the latest version of Yahoo toolbar, however when I try to down load the tool bar Firefox will not allow the down load of that file.

Thank you so much, for once in my computer life I knew what the problem was, what caused it, why it was caused, what it did, what it made it do and most importantly how to fix it and to do it correctly and expeditiously. I can not Thank You all enough for all of the help! I also have Pogo mailed this to all on my friends list, where they have all learned as I have and have fixed theirs also. and the message is being spread. Thank You again, I just can not say it enough.

HT2470 Can Internet explorer be installed in Macbook pro

1.Can Internet explorer be installed in Macbook pro?
2.Can I have dual boot in my Macbook pro - with Mac and Windows ??

No, unless you install Windows, which you can certainly do. Boot Camp allows you to install any number of different operating systems.
If you're trying to use a website that refuses to load because it demands Internet Exploder, I suggest enabling the Develop menu in Safari's Preferences, and selecting a User Agent that placates the website.

Sync Bookmarks, Passwords, Tabs, History with iPad (encrypted)

I want my passwords, bookmarks, tabs and history to synchronize with my iPad in an end-to-end-encrypted fashion. Are there currently any possibilities for this with Firefox? The current unsatisfactory options I know of are:
=== 1. Bookmarks On The Go ===
An app mentioned by a previous question. Apparently developed by a Mozilla developer based on Firefox Sync's code, so it should be trustable. Doesn't seem to cover passwords and even if it did it wouldn't be able to provide autofill.
=== 2. Dolphin, Mercury browsers for iOS ===
Dolphin used to provide synchronization with Firefox sync, but currently both Dolphin and Mercury use Desktop addons for synchronization. I couldn't find any information regarding encryption, but I'm pretty certain that these addon approaches undermine Firefox Sync's end-to-end encryption. For dolphin connect I could find a review saying that you have to specify a separate password for password synchronization, but overall the zero-knowledge approach is still undermined.
=== 3. iCloud addon ===
Basically the same issues as with (2) and no password synchronization.

Apple's restrictions prevent us from bringing the current version of Firefox to iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch). We are researching new ways to make Firefox for iOS but there are no definite plans for a release at this time.

In Firefox 2.0+ you can go to Advanced JavaScript Settings and check a box to allow scripts to change status bar text. How do I do this is Firefox 10.0.1?

Two items in the Advanced JavaScript window were removed as of the Firefox 4.0 version, but they are still available thru about:config .
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. 
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''dom.disable_window_status_change''' = double-click to toggle to '''false''' to allow websites to mess with status text.

I plugged my iphone 4 up to itunes and it reset my phone to the factory settings and removed all of my emails, texts, appd and contact list. How can I retore my previous settings and information?

I plugged my iphone 4 up to itunes and it reset my phone to the factory settings and erasaed all of my emails, texts, apps, and recently added contacts. How can I restore my previous settings and information?

iTunes doesn't just restore a phone to factory settings all by itself. You must have selected the incorrect button.
In any case, if there was a previous backup of your phone, you can restore your phone from this backup. Any new data you added to your phone since this backup is gone.
If you have no backup, then your data is gone.

Float layout causing problems in internet explorer 5, 5.5 and 6

Hi everyone,
I have a 3-column floated fixed width layout. The right
column contains a form in the lower section. The columns are all
okay in most browsers but when I test in internet explorer 5, 5.5
and 6, the right column drops below the layout. When I tried to
troubleshoot, I found that if I took the form out of the right
column altogether then the right column would sit where it's
suppose to.
I don't know whether it's a float bug that's causing the
problem in these versions of IE or something else. Could someone
take a look and see what might be happening?

I would strongly advice you to completely uninstall JSE/JDK 5.0 UPDATE 6
from you system and install JSE/JDK 5.0 UPDATE 5 or earlier (which you know works with your system)!! There is a major problem with this UPDATE 6 which just came out!! I believe it might be a security related issue! But there is definely a conflict going on with IE 6.0 SP1 and Firefox 1.5!! This update doesn't like something in our operating system!! we have the latest security updates on our computer!!
Abit Motherboard AS8 with audio card and network card enabled. Windows 2k sp4 with rollup update 1 v.2 and a hardware firewall installed!!
Our audio card screams when you go to some sites that have audiostreaming plugin on there site which uses javascript to play!! I AM NOW USING JSE 5.0 UPDATE 5 and it works great!!
IE crashes and Mozilla Firefox 1.5 crashes!! I told Sun Systems about Update 6 and haven't gotten a reply from them yet!!
