Hi Gustav, Since IE11 I have no issue with IE either. Even the issues my clients have had with sites that required other specific versions of IE have been cleared up with compatibility settings. I do, however, use Firefox also. I run into problems with Chrome where the only solutions available seem to be clean it off the computer and reinstall. I'm sure these problems will be chided as end user issues and I would tend to agree in this case. But isn't a browser supposed to be idiot proof?

Not even at a client. When Chrome came out, I used it a lot - that was in the days of IE6 - but since I updated to Windows 7 and 8 on my workstations and laptops, it has been IE only. The reason is simple: Zero issues. Some of my colleagues experience problems now and then with government sites (why are these always "weird") so they switch between Chrome and IE whatever fits. /gustav -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] På vegne af Jim Lawrence Sendt: 17. marts 2014 23:08 Til: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Emne: Re: [dba-Tech] [dba-OT] Mozilla cancelled Firefox for Windows 8 The first program you download with IE?
