Weird Browser Behaviour

[CHRISK172+]

Wondered if anyone had any idea whats happened to my browser, IE7. I have 9 sites in my Links folder which I have on the top of my browser. I noticed last night that 4 of the icons have changed and are incorrect. My 'Cliosport' link has an 'Ebay ' icon, My 'BBC weather' link has a 'LFC' crest, my 'Google' has a 'JD Sport' icon....get my drift, anyone know how this could happen?:S

I will look into this a little more What is noscript?

The NoScript Firefox extension provides extra protection for Firefox, Flock, Seamonkey and others mozilla-based browsers: this free, open source add-on allows JavaScript, Java, Flash and other plugins to be executed only by trusted web sites of your choice (e.g. your online bank), and provides the most powerful Anti-XSS protection available in a browser.

So it is atleast as secure or more than IE and no downsides. Sounds too good to be true:approve:

Get adblock plus as well for firefox to block all those annoying adverts that sites have these days. Any it doesn't block you can manually add to the block list. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865

Firefox 3 is practically finished and stable so you may as well try that instead of 2.0.14. http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0rc2&os=win&lang=en-GB

the only thing with 3 is that not all the addons work with it thats why i suggested 2. When 3 is in non developer release you will get a prompt within firefox to update

FF FTW all day. Is usefull to download the IE tabs addon so that ghey sites that dont suppport FF properly can still be viewed.

Definately recommend Firefox - great plugins available, and I love that it will restore your session if it ends unexpectedly! Defo get it bashed on!

Been running Firefox for a few years now, really happy with it.

Will have to look into it, IE gets to be a pain and fails to respond and you lose everything:dapprove:
