How do you disable IE flash plug-in?

Haha, just kidding. It's okay in very few limited circumstances. ;)

Despite not “using” ie, it sure seems like actively using it or not, everything seems to pass through it. When I do my morning clean up ie seems to have the most garbage on it.

so are we supposed to use AOL browser or Firefox?

[exDemMom]

Go to the “Tools” menu (gear icon in the upper right corner) and select “Manage Add-Ins.” Right-click on “Shockwave Flash Object” and disable it.

At least, that is how it works on my version of IE.

Mosaic on OS/2.

I’m glad I stopped using it during the last century.

I use a Mac but recently had to fire up IE in in Win 7 VM to use a Fortune 500 company’s employment website.

I’m still using the homophobe browser. :>}

(AOL?!)

HOWEVER, it bears repeating, so please, carry on!

Who uses that POS browser anyway?

[VictoryGal]

Time would be better spent downloading Firefox or Chrome.

IE has been a leaky exploitable mess since the turn of the century. Slow as crap, too.

I’ve switched back to NetScrape ....

Tech Ping for a repeat — this is important!

Yikes, not AOL browser! Use Firefox or Chrome. A lot faster, more secure.

http://www.getfirefox.com/ for Firefox
http://www.google.com/chrome for Chrome

LOL! It's true, there are those very rare exceptions!

OS/2 rocked.
