Title: Computer, Browser, Player Notes
Sk8888 - February 4, 2009 09:15 PM (GMT)
My computer just updated my version of FireFox.
Then I got an error message which said:
RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin 1.0 is not compatible with the latest FF update.
There was an option to check for a version that is compatible and there wasn't anything yet.

Yes.com has added tons of ads to its site.
Member EEEEvon mentioned that they could be dealt with using a "no scripts" function in FF.

You might wanna google how to uninstall the plugin, I've been reading after you posted, that there is no version of RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin available, that is combatible with the new version of FF.
I have only Windows Media Player installed.

Here is the link to download the NoScript add-on for Firefox - thanks to KatfanBill, who posted the link at yes.com:

Do you happen to know if this works with the Mac FF browser?

I upgraded to IE 8 last night. One addition I've been waiting for, they now have the ability to save a favorite on the tool bar! I used google's toolbar prior to do so, (you had to right click in a search box on the site you wanted your favorite, and you wouldn't always pull up the icon, you'd have to go as far as using programing language) but this is much much easier (includes icons).
Under Favorites there is Add to favorites, ADD TO FAVORITE BAR, Add current tabs to favorites.
So now it's easy to be one click away from the etrain :)

Well unless I missed something totally :rotfl:, it's possible.
This is an icon added to my toolbar... not a drop down list. You can save your favorite SITE as an icon. It's at the top on your browser.
I've never seen the option "ADD TO FAVORITES BAR" before this version.
^^^ I added etrainstation.
to clarify even more. Here is my tool bar including my google tool bar, I've used this prior to save etrain and a few more of my fav links, making them one, not two clicks away :)
eta: if you ever saw my list of favorites, pages and pages of them even in their own category folders, you'd understand why I think this is much easier than to scroll down through the many.
Oh and here's what I found online re IE8 Favs

Something I'm really missing in IE8, they no longer have "personalized favorites". That was where your favorites menu bar would only show just recent favorites you used. (Clicking or holding your mouse there would open up all the others). It was an option you checked in the advanced tab in internet options. Not always a default option in IE I believe.
Now I have to scroll down through ALL my favorites (their alphabetized) to find what I'm looking for. I have 1377 links in 109 folders. Those of us with lots of favorites saved may really miss this feature. I haven't a clue why they decided to ditch this in IE8.
