Internet Explorer always wanting to re-download ta...

If I switch from one tab to another in Internet Explorer on my Lumia 635, it will *always* attempt to re-download the tab that I am switching to, even if I was only away from it for a moment. This is a big problem when I try to e.g. brows the internet on a train, where I often lose service in tunnels. I will open a tab, read it for a while, follow a link in a new tab, and then switch back to the original tab...only to find that the data from the original tab is gone, and now the phone can't re-download it because I'm in a tunnel with no service. It's also problematic when I'm looking at tabs with large websites in places with poor reception, because it can take forever for the page to download. Annoyingly, it always forgets where I was in a page, so if I'm part of the way through a long page that I switch away from for a moment, it will jump me back to the top of the page when I return to the tab.  And of course, it's needlessly running through my data allotment downloading the same things over and over again.
This happens even when there are no other apps active and the phone has plenty of free memory, so if it's a memory manager issue, the manager is obviously being *way* too aggressive. 
Is there a way to make my phone actually remember the data in each tab, so that I don't have to re-download a tab every time I switch back to it?

  • I've downloaded quicktime but every time I try to play a video on the apple website using internet explorer it asks me to download quicktime. If I use safari it works fine. Any suggestions

    I've downloaded quicktime but every time I try to play a video on the apple website using internet explorer it asks me to download quicktime again yet if I'm safari it plays fine. Any suggestions?

    That sounds like IE wants you to install the QuickTime ActiveX control.
    Go back to the page you're getting the message on. At the bottom of the screen, can you see a long rectangular box asking you to allow/install something? (Sorry, it's been a while since I've seen the box in question, so I can't recall the precise wording.)
    If so, allow/OK in that box. After the ActiveX control has gone in, can you see the videos in IE?

  • First direct link in google search causes "Internet Explorer blocked this site from downloading"

    I've disabled both the Adobe Reader Add-on and the Adobe PDF Link Helper to force IE 8 to open PDF's outside of the browser i.e in the stand alone reader application.
    After doing this I did some testing, a google search for "test pdf" produces numerous direct links to pdf files.  If i click any of them it causes IE to display the message bar "Internet Explorer blocked this from downloading files to your computer, click her for options.."  When I click on the message bar, it appears to download the file , then nothing happens.  Next time I click the link it opens in the stand alone reader just fine and so do all PDF files, until the browser is restarted or a new tab is started.
    This only seems to happen in IE8.  IE9 doesn't have the problem.
    If I open a web page that has a link to a PDF that always work.
    Help? I can't roll this out to prod.  Users will get very confused...

    You actually trashed the whole Internet Preferences Folder including all your preferences still in there?
    Actually, you were suppose to just trash the Internet Preference file/document which is inside the folder.
    See if updating to the latest & last version of IE for Mac will help.
    Internet Explorer (Classic) 5.1.7
    Internet Explorer 5.1.7
    Internet Explorer v5.1.7
    "WARNING:" Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer for Mac on December 31st, 2005, and is not providing any further security or performance updates.
    Accordingly, as of January 31st, 2006, Internet Explorer for the Mac is no longer available for download from Microsoft.
    Or, you can try the following w/your older version of IE:
    Once a week Go into the system folder>preferences folder & trash the following preferences:
    finder
    ASLM
    PPC Registration Database
    Cache.waf-found inside the MS Internet Cache folder
    MRJ Cache folder-a new one will be recreated.(If not found go to System folder>Application Support>MRJ Cache folder-trash all you find inside-(DO NOT TRASH THIS FOLDER)
    Download Cache-found inside Explorer Folder
    Downloads.html-found inside Explorer Folder
    History.html-found inside Explorer Folder
    Rebuild your desktop w/extensions off. Use Techtool Lite or Trash*Desktop - may delete Finder comments to rebuild your desktop w/extensions off. Does a better job than manually & you avoid all the finger gymnatics. You just have to hold down the shift key to shut off extensions.
    Restart to turn the extensions back on again & empty the trash.
    Good luck!

  • How to solve Adobe Reader 8 and Internet Explorer (IE) setting set to Download Disable

    Anyone can help me with this issue. Due to our company policy, Download is disable in the Internet Explorer (IE). With Adobe Reader 4/5/6, we are able to open and view the pdf on the IE. But with Adobe Reader 7/8, it require IE download enable before open the pdf file.

    Yes, I agree that PDF always downloaded to IE Temp folder. But with IE download disabled and using either Acrobat Reader 6, we can open online PDF files. With with the same setting as above, but now using Adobe Reader 7 or 8, we would get the message "The current security setting does not allow for the files to be downloaded".
    Anybody know of any workaround solution or something changed with Adobe Reader 7 or higher?
    Thanks.

  • Internet explorer stops working when i download itunes

    Every time I try to download itunes, Internet explorer stops working. Help!

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Firefox is set as my default but how come Internet Explorer always comes on first instead

    This happens all the time and I hate Internet Explorer for it nearly always has to shut down as it encounters some kind of problem, before when I made FireFox my default, that didn't happen but now I have Windows 7. It wouldn't let me copy and paste but it says "Internet Explorer has stopped working". We are trying to correct the problem and will let you know when the problem is corrected." This has been going on for months. I just put a few times a week to put something there. I wish to thank you in advance for answering my question.

  • Internet Explorer won't let Firefox download. When I click Run, it tells me it's timed out when it reaches 99%

    Just bought new laptop and can't install Firefox. The program will run until it gets to 99% completion, then Internet Explorer pops up and says it's timed out.

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files.
    You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

  • Internet Explorer 11 doesn't allow downloads and intermittantly crashes when I try.

    Hello,
    I have Windows 7, 32 bit on a Dell laptop with 4Gb of RAM.  I've been primarily an IE user all along but I am now using Chrome and Firefox due to problems with IE 10 and 11.  Around the first of the year IE stopped letting me download anything
    and sometimes crashes after the download bar says "filename could not be downloaded".  I have googled my fingers off and tried every remedy suggested, up to and including booting in safe mode with networking and running IE with no add-ons. 
    My only assumption is that one of the MS updates is the underlying cause as I haven't made any hardware or software changes.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Below is the text of one of the crashes from the technical details of the

    Hi Mikem,
    This is typically due to incompatible add-ons or toolbars or an incompatible display adapter. Internet Explorer uses the graphics chipset for hardware acceleration and these issues might happen due to an older and/or incompatible driver.
    Since you mentioned that you have tested under safe mode with no add-ons mode, we wonder if the problem still persists under safe mode. And when Internet Explorer not crash, did you get any message, error or the download just prompt won’t popup.
    We suggest you remove all third party add-ons and temporarily stop Anti-Spyware, update your display driver then reset Internet Explorer Settings for good measure.
    If resetting IE or removing Add-ons does not resolve the issue for you then it could be a compatibility issue with the Graphics card.
    Under Internet Options, click the advanced tab. Under 'Accelerated Graphics', click on the checkbox next to 'Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering*'. Ensuring that it is checked, click on OK. Close Internet options.

  • All my bookmarks just vanished--can only find some of them from internet explorer--i want them back please

    after a restart from being totally shut down (to save power) i have been unable to retrieve ANY of my bookmarks. I was only able to view some from a previous date by opening up internet explorer. All of my recently added favorites are lost somewhere in cyberspace. i have been using Firefox as my browser for quite some time now and definitely prefer it over IE. This is the first time i've had any real issues with firefox. Tried one of the suggestions (task manager, end firefox.exe process.....) but nothing has worked. Rebooting doesn't help either. I really want my favorites back -- trying to totally repopulate my list of favorites will take FOREVER!!!!!!! Plus, my memory probably won't remember what i've probably forgotten!

  • When trying to forward a web page my pc opens Internet Explore and wants me to use Windows Live email.

    When I go to a link I have received in my gmail using Firefox and then select the option to Send Link, Internet Explore opens and wants me to sign in to Windows Hot Mail to send the link. How can I set it to use Gmail which is what is use for regular email?

    I'm not clear on where you are seeing that text. When I view Google's cached page from the page found in this search
    https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Asitetrail.com%2Faskearth.com
    It doesn't match yours exactly. There is an iframe with a Google map in it in the "Hosting Analysis" section, which in your pasted page seems to be the "Site Server" section.
    Which Google site did you search?

  • Internet Explorer always trying to go through proxy

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having a strange issue with Internet Explorer - it's always trying to go through my corporate proxy server, which is available only while I'm connected to the corporate network via VPN. So the moment I disconnect from VPN, I must go to IE LAN
    Settings and uncheck "Automatically detect settings". If I don't do that, no matter what, it won't get past the message "The proxy server isn't responding...".
    I think I tried pretty much everything I could find relevant on TechNet... it still doesn't help.

    Other than that, scanned for viruses/malware, installed the latest updates, tried the "obvious stuff".
    Also got a Microsoft support technician connected to the computer remotely - today he suggested to escalate this issue.
    I'd be very grateful for any ideas,
    Thanks!!

    Hi dsafro,
    We wonder if the corporate network has group policy for proxy settings, seems like your Internet Explorer keeps policy settings even when you disconnect from VPN.
    Does closing and reopen Internet Explorer change the settings back?
    The proxy setting registry entry is in
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\
    "ProxyEnable"=dword:00000000          
    1 for enable 0 for disable
    When you disconnect from VPN, the value should be changed back to 0.
    We suggest you perform a trace by using process monitor
    As a workaround, the proxy pac file might be help.
    Here is an example which can change your proxy settings according your network IP address.
    function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
    if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "192.168.1.0", "255.255.255.0"))
    return "PROXY 192.168.1.1:8080";
    else
    return "DIRECT";
    You might need change the “”part depends on your network environment.

  • Satellite s55 Internet explorer keeps wanting to recover webpage (screen freezes)

    laptop came out of the box with windows 8.1
