Stupid Internet

[annabtg]

a) Would there happen to be an Internet browser that doesn't crash all the freaking time (Firefox) or doesn't pop up annoying pop-ups all the freaking time (IE)?
(Though I guess I could use IE and install a toolbar with incorporated ad-blocking. In your face, Mozilla.)

b) Why do I get asked to enter a username and a password for imagehost.biz every time I click to see my journal? Does it have to do with the fact that I changed my layout? Even if it does, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. I just used one of the available layouts and only changed the colours a bit.

/end rant.

See ya,
Anna.

Dunno about B, but I do have an answer for A. Use IE and install the Google toolbar. Works like a charm for me! But if you really want to use firefox, uninstall it completely, then re-install it from scratch. Usually does the trick for me (my example being WinAmp since I don't use firefox).

Good luck with it!

I uninstalled it and installed it again. Let's see how this will go...

Thanks,
Anna :)

I'm on FireFox, I don't have any toolbars and I still don't get any pop ups or crash. Which version of FireFox do you have? 2.0? Are you sure you've checked the "block pop up windows" option? It's under Tools - > Options - > Content.

Although in all fairness, I've seem that IE7 is looing much much better now that they let you do tabbed browsing and stuff. If you're going to install a toolbar, I'd suggest you go with either Google or Yahooo.

Cheers,

Gloria.

Thanks for the recommendation, Gloria :) I'll try one of the two if Firefox keeps acting up.

See ya,

For you too? HUH. I wonder whether there's something wrong with LJ's seasonal layouts...

See ya,

No, it stopped for me too. Weird. Hmm. Good weird, though, so I'm not complaining.

See ya,

Lucky you.

It hasn't crashed since I re-installed it. I might become lucky too *g*

Heh, my Firefox crashes a lot, but it only does so under specific conditions--when I avoid those, it doesn't crash. I figure it's just unstable 'cause I've got a couple dozen extensions installed . . .

[annabtg.livejournal.com]

I only have two extensions installed.

We'll see.

See ya,
Anna.
