[wongogue]

I can't see Internet Explorer 9 in Windows Update. :(

The only issue i found is that sound doesnt work in gmail chat. And neither do i get an orange blinking notification liked it used to. I wonder if anyone else have the same thing.

Is it pointless to use more than one TPL at a time?

Not sure why it needs me to close VLC and CD art Display:

My new browser though.

I have lived without all the Firefox extensions for a good while now so hello IE9 :D

I dunno why it had to close all my apps either but hell I'll take this new method over having to restart. In the end after it's done it restarts the apps it seems. I like this change, it's about time installing/updating IE doesn't need a damn restart of Windows.

is there any chance to disable color for tabs?

Turn off tab grouping in Internet Options, General, Tab options.

Like I wrote down earlier: Compared to what you see with Safari 5 on Mac OS X the animations of IE 9 really aren't that smooth. I'm not saying the feature doesn't work the way it should, I'm just saying the actual animations are pretty rough.

I understood what you said. I'm saying they are not rough at all for me. Tearing off a tab goes very smoothly from it being a tab on the window to a separate tab page. There is no jerkiness or flickering or anything. The window border smoothly fades away as the tab is dragged.

which are the benefits for grouping tabs anyway ? ( it doesn't work anyway..still colored)

It updates the Internet Options control panel so anything using it for obtaining network settings has to be closed.

It makes it easier to see that those tabs are the same web site. :)

This page goes over it pretty well: Link

If you're doing a lot of tasks at once, tab groups help you keep track of which tags belong to each task, which can come in handy sometimes. That said though, the feature is far from perfect.

I'm a Chrome user, decided to switch to IE for a while. It definitely looks sleak, but I don't see how this will be sucessful when there's Chrome and Firefox, which do what IE9 does and more. I like the pinned tabs and group tabs, but I'd rather have a fully standards-compliant browser (IE9 only scores 95 at Acid3), spell checking and a download manager that doesn't look like a kid put it together.

Hi guys im getting an error with ie9.

on justin tv when i hover the move over live channels you can see how firefox opens up the little dialog box.

but on ie9 nothing happens.

can someone else check and see if its doing same thing on their pc.

[amon91]

^ Yup, having the same issue. Works fine in Compatibility Mode though, for now I'll just use that. The beauty of the web indeed...

[guest_1234]

Anyone know how to automatically reopen the last browsing session? IE9, doesn't appear to do so on startup. I can always manually click on Tools->Reopen last browsing session, but it gets tiering after a while.

Did you restart the browser?

According to the W3 validator that page has 103 errors on it. Not really IE's fault. ;)

Just add the site to the compatibility list.

Download manager notwithstanding, there is now the Speckie extension for in-line spellchecking, and the 95/100 on Acid3 was by design since those last 5 points aren't in the official HTML5 spec.

Anyone know how to enable the DoNotTrack header functions added in the RTM (as mentioned here)?

I'll see if my drivers are up-to-date, maybe that will fix things.

Why does the Ad Bot pop-up?? Clearly I'm logged in, otherwise I wouldn't be typing this message. :blink:

Ever since I upgraded to rtm, I keep getting messages saying that internet explorer has stopped working. Add-on related, or something else? Besides the normal (flash, pdf, java, silverlight, etc) all I'm using is lastpass, xmarks, and speckie.

[George P Global Moderator]

I just installed speckie myself on IE9 so I'll see how that goes. No errors or anything yet since the install. Working great.

Question -- when I open a pinned website, why does IE 9 open with no toolbars? Is this normal, or something I'm doing wrong?

[count0nz]

when you pin a Webpage useing IE9 it makes that webpage a App like window..

No Toolbars etc.. its normal its actualy a security feature also.

I'm seeing the adbot posts too. I think it's a Neowin glitch.

I've entered a defect report for the Aero Snap tab issue here if you want to vote on it.

They changed that behavior in the release candidate. I was actually hoping they would. Even more convenient would have been to allow separate favorite bars for pinned sites, but oh well... :D

It's a nice browser, but Chrome is still way faster than anything else for me. Even the Firefox 4 RC is slow compared to Chrome 10.
