computer security

[Kevin]

I disable active scripting in IE7 security options. Why do you need an add on?

Because not all active scripting is bad and the options in some add-ons allow me to set things up easier than in IE7 (not that you can't turn on some scripts and turn others off in IE I just prefer the way some of the plug-ins do it).

Of course we are running into issues on campus here where some 3rd party applications don't work with IE7 no matter what we do to the IE7 config but they work just fine with Firefox. This is a bit different from stuff that worked in IE because the default config allowed stuff to work that wasn't compliant with this or that standard but wouldn't work in Firefox. Of course we could almost always get it to work with firefox by relaxing a standard.

I'm not picking favorites. I just prefer the feel of Firefox to IE and have for a long time. I've never really like IE at any stage of the game though.
