internet explorer, O.o Options

[me1issaaaa]

I'm not sure where this should go, so move it if it's in the wrong place.

Anywho, I just got onto my computer and as soon as I typed it 'hotmail.com' and it brought me to the homepage, the little... search bar thing where you type in the addresses was gone.



What happened? How do I get it back?

I had to use Firefox (which I hate) because my brother installed it for his own use. I <3 my IE.

Well as for the ad blocker, it helps to reduce flash ads on site like www.bravenet.com and MSN and such. It reads the files somehow, I dunno how it works exactly, but it was stated on the firefox site once.

As for the site blocking, It blocks sites that have mass amounts of popups or flash ads and such. Like crack sites, www.bravenet.com, and torrent sites and such. I have had the problem when I used firefox 1 and 1/2 years ago.

Another thing is its nice way of waiting resources, it does tabbed browsing when you tell it to, but as for clicking on a link in a page, its like opening the application again. Now with say Deepnet Browser or Avant Browser this does not happen. IE does the same thing, but I dont use IE, I use avant browser.

It doesn't block the sites--it blocks popup ads. And out-of-the-box (so to speak) Firefox doesn't do anything with Flash--that requires a plugin to block Flash ads. It also doesn't "leave something on your computer"--it simply scans the code of a webpage and tries to make a guess whether a popup is generated automatically, and blocks it if it is.

Opening multiple "instances" of Firefox does not dramatically increase resource load. If the application is already open, opening another window will take a bit more RAM (as does any application), but it's not "like opening the application again" in that it takes just as long to open and doubles the amount of resources used.
