Why is internet Explorer . . .

. . . chosen, automatically by the computer, to open my facebook exporter plug-in (to transfer images from iphoto-5 to facebook). Actually it is chosen just to login, and I get an incompatable browser/facebook message and cannot procede. I have safari, why does it not use that browser instead? It is what I usually use. Internet explorer is on my computer because I use to use it. Should I dump it?

Open Safari's preferences and check the default web browser.

Why does internet explorer stop working when I open up a tutorial in Photoshop Elements 12?

Why does my internet explorer stop working when I upen up a tutorial for Photoshop Elements 12?

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, this is the Premiere Elements Forum, which is a video-editing program, and is not Photoshop Elements, an Image-editing program.
I will Move your post to the very active Photohsop Elements Forum.
Good luck, and your link, plus any e-mail subscriptions should follow.

Firefox will not download journal articles (PDFs) from PubMed. Why? Internet Explorer will download them.

I go to the USC e-journals, as I have done with Firefox for years. Now, when I find a journal article that I want and try to download it, nothing happens. I get a blank screen.
If I use Internet Explorer, I can download the article (PDF) and print and save it.
What do I need to do in Firefox to fix the problem. When I first uploaded the newest Firefox I did not have this problem.

Hi Joe, some other users have reported that the Real Downloader is not working in Firefox 22. If you have updated it and it still doesn't work, you might consider using a different downloader. I don't have any personal recommendations on that, but you can check out the reviews on the add-ons site:

Return commit for DP-K---Why no Internet Explorer access due to problem with web page?

I ran full scans on MBAM & SUPERAntiSpyware as requested. All I got was 2 adware tracking cookies detected with the spyware program. I have Windows Vista Home Basic with a 32-bit operating system IE version was Internet Explorer 8 & I also downloaded Explorer 9 with no difference in result. The toolbar "fix" was probably in regards to general computer problems. Please advise.

Hi,
First, close all open applications.
From the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. Into the prompt, type the following commands, hitting enter after each command. Include spaces in the commands where shown.
ipconfig /flushdns
nbtstat -R
nbtstat -RR
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
netsh winsock reset
When complete, type exit and hit enter, then restart the PC and check connectivity.
If this doesn't resolve the issue, another area worth checking is whether there is any problem with the Layered Service Providers on the PC - although problems with these usually cause no connection at all. You can do this by downloading LSP-Fix on the link below. Save this to your Desktop. This is a stand-alone application so you can just delete it afterwards.
LSP-Fix
When download, right click the application and select 'Run as Administrator'. If everything is ok with your LSPs you will see green writing stating this. If it does detect a problem, post back with the error.

Why does internet explorer close when i try to download itunes?

i just want to download i tunes to my windows 7 PC i have tried chrome and internet explorer, ive done multiple troubleshooting exercises and absolutly nothing is working. please help!

Yes, I would use the import utility built into Windows to import the photos. The crash for Explorer would be in the Windows log file, but it should have immediately restarted. Using Explorer to get photos out of the iPhone is not usually the best way to do it, as you have the opportunity to mess up file structure and can corrupt photo files.

Why is Internet Explorer 8 Not Recognizing Video on CS4?

As we use Macintosh iMacs we cannot validate IE 8 on our CS4 Dreamweaver.
But looking at a PC earlier we saw that IE8 did not recognize the video on our web page.
We checked it at http://validator.w3.org But there was no given reason why.
Does anyone know why? It works on Safari, Firefox and Opera.
Thanks for any help...

Microsoft's web browsers are bad. Very bad.
But they all work with Flash if you have a Flash plugin and most people using Internet Exploiter download Flash. Problem is, that won't work for iPads.
If, what you are trying to do is use HTML5, it simply won't work with a Microsoft browser. It will work with Webkit (Safari and Chrome) and will not work with Firefox until Firefox supports a video standard (which they won't until someone comes up with an Open Source video Codec).
So Flash is still pretty much it.
What I'm looking to do is to go with HTML 5 and do a detection for Internet Exploder and Firefox and offer a Flash alternative for them. I don't have an example yet, but I'll be looking at ways to do that.

I have to reverify my computer on ONE banking website....no others. WHY? Internet Explorer works fine.

Exchange Bank is where I do online banking in Sonoma County CA. When I log in using Firefox, I need to re-verify my computer as if I never logged in before. They then send me a text with a login # and I log in. Pain in the butt! When I log in with IE I have no problem. My settings are all correct. It's something having to do with Firefox and I need help figuring it out. It sucks that there is no phone # to call or open a chat session. What's that all about?
Please contact me and help me out.
Thanks, Liz Corell

Some Banking website are created according to IE, so the issue may be like that also.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Problem in Internet Explorer

Dear all
I have just completed my first JavaFX animation which I have tried to upload to my website. I used NetBeans to make it, set the program properties to "browser" mode and copied the contents of the "dist" folder to my website (also renaming the JNLP codebase and homepage paths to those of my website)
The situation I have now is that, when I point internet explorer to the html page the applet SOMETIMES loads, and sometimes just gets stuck with the java animation going round and round. However, if I use Chrome instead it ALWAYS works. Since Chrome always works then I must have set the files up correctly, so why is internet explorer doing this? I am a teacher and unfortunately I am aware that most of my colleagues who may use the animation probably have the dreaded Internet Explorer installed.
Any thoughts on this folks?
You can try for yourselves here: [http://www.mpklein.co.uk/filter/driven_oscillator/driven_oscillator.html]
Thank you
Matt

Hi PhiLho
It is IE8 and I am running Windows 7.
I have noticed that if I click refresh it usually helps get past the java loading animation where it gets stuck. I also emailed a few friends and some of them reported the same, that it sticks at that point.
Strange though that Chrome ALWAYS works, but IE just SOMETIMES.
These are the other files that I uploaded:

Internet Explorer Error after Business Explorer Installation

Hi guys,

Cannot send emails from my yahoo account.,but can from internet explorer.Why?

Hi, I can receive emails on my yahoo account;read them and so on,but cannot reply to them.A message comes which states that they are trying to re-load the original mail ,but fail to.I went into the yahoo help page and was told if it worked on a different browser the fault lay with firefox (my default browser).It worked on Internet explorer ,which I hardly ever use.The problem first occurred yesterday ,no idea why.

hello, in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/947471 this thread] a user has found out that the problem might be related to the ghostery addon - do you have it installed too?

Why can't I update or load new apps on my iPhone and iPad. It does not ask me for my password. I tried to sync from my laptop now I am unable to connect to any sites from internet explorer. When I try to update or load any app it tells me it is corrupt

You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

I am still having the same problem. I did what you said to do, but it didn't help. I cleared all of firefox's cache and still doesn't work.

I have not found a way for the email hypertext to go to the FaceBook App, but I no longer click on the hypertext as I know whatever information or posting it is directing me to in FaceBook will show up when I open my FaceBook App. I also have noticed that many pop-ups on the Browser don't actually know if you already have the software they are promoting.

Why can't I log into my ATT Yahoo page from firefox, when it works perfectly in Internet Explorer?

I haven't ever had this problem before. I have ATT.YAHOO.COM set as my home page. Today I went to log into my account to then check my yahoo mail, and the screen that allows me to log on never loads. Same goes for just hitting the CHECK MAIL as well. If I open up Internet Explorer, I can log in without a problem, to either. So why is it that Firefox all of a sudden has made it impossible for me to log into my att yahoo account? Very frustrating as I prefer Firefox over Internet Explorer, but if there is not a fix for this, I may have to dump use of Firefox and revert back to IE for most of the time. Thanks to anyone with suggestions for how to correct this.

When accessing eBay with Firefox and launching a search, I get less results/hits with Firefox then when using Internet Explorer, why? Try it, you'll see.

For example access eBay with Firefox and launch a search on the word Frankenstein: you'll get something like 23,671 results (if you search in ''All categories''). Then quit the Firefox browser and load Microsoft Internet Explorer instead; access eBay again and repeat the very same search: this time you'll get 25,383 results. These are reral figures that I tried at 19:21 on March 20, 2014. Why does a search on eBay through Firefox report less hits than the very same search through Internet Explorer? Using Firefox rather than Microsoft Internet Explorer automatically means missing hits/results/items on eBay: that doesn't make sense but it does happen. Why is it so? Thank you, somebody, for shedding light on this problem.

Try this steps and try to load the same once again!!!
