As I surf the internet, when I see a link of interest in a URL and I click it ... does that action open a new FF? I didn’t think it did; am I wrong? Why else do I see so many FF’s open?

I ahve since upgraded to IE8, but still on Windows XP and after many months of not accessing my webmail via my ISP website, I thought I had a email blocked as spam by my ISP webmail site. So I went there hoping to check if this is the case. But to my surprise, I was not able to have the email page loaded. All I get is a white blank page.

When i checked the Privacy Report, it showed that my ISP webmail page is blocked, although:
1) the ISP home page can be loaded as well as
2) the email login page.

But on pressing return after entering the login details, the next page is a blank. I have even set the Privacy setting to Low and it still does the same.

I have no such problem using a different laptop running IE8 and Windows7. I also wondered if this is a XP and IE8 problem or the privacy setting ?

I hope someone here can help. Many thanks. ]]> Internet Related Issues slickcondo http://discussions.virtualdr.com/showthread.php?256955-RESOLVED-Unable-to-Access-Webmail Firefox issues http://discussions.virtualdr.com/showthread.php?256933-Firefox-issues&goto=newpost Wed, 15 May 2013 23:35:47 GMT Hi all,

Last week after Firefox 20.0.1 update I noticed weird things happening when I visited my favorite sites.

Examples include, Disqus doesn't load anymore when I visit my favorite comic site http://www.arcamax.com/thefunnies/ or Farmville 2 game in Facebook doesn't load correctly. IE9.0 works perfectly as does Chrome. My favorite browser has always been Firefox.

Any ideas would be helpful. MS Security scanned clean as well as Malwarebytes Pro scanned clean. Also, I do not visit questionable websites, just news and comics.

Win 7, 64-bit, 3-year old Dell.

Thanks. ]]> Internet Related Issues water http://discussions.virtualdr.com/showthread.php?256933-Firefox-issues <![CDATA[Can't play Yahoo Vidoes]]> http://discussions.virtualdr.com/showthread.php?256891-Can-t-play-Yahoo-Vidoes&goto=newpost Sun, 12 May 2013 01:17:50 GMT Hi, Win 7.

It seemed five times slower loading up ..than Google Chrome .. It seemed to be always full of 'spam type' quality's ... ( always extra tabs on the top row that had to be closed off after a few days )

also would lock up my other users (3) on the PC windows Xp ........... all reported same symptoms ..

So I pulled the plug for this default browser and am back to Google Chrome again .. Fast reliable and for the time being my main browser ..

will keep Firefox Mozilla in my favourites in case Chrome starts to act up one day .. ]]> Internet Related Issues ttodd http://discussions.virtualdr.com/showthread.php?256851-Dumped-Firefox-again-..-for-Google-Chrome-... <![CDATA[[RESOLVED] File Sharing Site]]> http://discussions.virtualdr.com/showthread.php?256801-RESOLVED-File-Sharing-Site&goto=newpost Sat, 04 May 2013 19:07:41 GMT A friend is trying to get a 3GB video file to me and we're having no luck.
