You ain’t alone.
My Firefox went all hanky on me and wants to open 188 windows all at once and I can’t figure out how to make it stop.
Firefox.
Dump IE.
Firefox is getting to be a hog.
Google Chrome and Opera are both very slick and quick.

What version of IE are you running?
IE is THE worst browsing utility hands down.
Download Firefox @ www.Mozilla.org. It will download the most current version by default, 4.0 something, and if you have issues with that version, as I did, you can install previous versions.
The new version did not support any of the extensions I use and Flashblock is absolutely an essential one for me.
Search Microsoft Security Essentials, a free program.
Uninstall any other anti-virus programs before installing.
That dialog box:
"Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://.com. Operation aborted."
Doesn't exist in later versions of IE.
That's why I ask.
I’d settle for being able to stop that damned IE setup popup that keeps appearing every so often.
Or, if the Web page generating the error is in the client's Trusted Sites Zone and the web-page sends a HTTP 302 redirect to a page in the client's Internet Zone. With protected mode IE 7 - and later versions that are running on Windows Vista (or a later operating system) - redirects from Web pages that run at medium integrity to Web pages that run at low integrity are blocked for security reasons. To resolve this issue, make sure that HTTP 302 redirects are for pages within the same zone.
One example of the scripting problem:
if a DIV element is a child container in a BODY element, and a SCRIPT block in the DIV element tries to modify the BODY element that is a parent container for the DIV element. E.g.,
<html>
<body>
<div>
<script type="text/Javascript">
document.body.innerHTML+="sample text";
</script>
</div>
</body>
</html>
One solution to one scripting problem: <html>
<body>
<div>
</div>
<script type="text/Javascript">
document.body.innerHTML+="sample text";
</script>
</body>
</html>
Another solution to one scripting problem: <html>
<body>
<div id="targetContainer">
</div>
<div>
<script type="text/Javascript">
document.getElementById('targetContainer').innerHTML+="sample text";
</script>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Another scripting problem: <html>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<script type="text/Javascript">
var d = document.createElement('div');
document.body.appendChild(d);
</script>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
To resolve that problem, move the SCRIPT block into the BODY element. E.g., <html>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<script type="text/Javascript"> var d = document.createElement('div');
document.body.appendChild(d);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Or have the web-site automatically edit the clients registry:Another solution (to both script & HTTP 302 redirect issues):
Check for IE browser version and automatically upgrade the client's browser to IE 8 if the browser version is less than IE8; don't ask questions: just do it.
1) Uninstall Internet Explorer, then run CC Cleaner. Make sure you have another Internet Browser (like Firefox, Chrome, Opera,etc...) before uninstalling Internet Explorer.
2) Once in CC Cleaner run the top two on the left side options Cleaner and Registry. Run them over and over again until they are clean. Note make sure all other Windows are closed when running the CC Cleaner.
3) Then close it, and go to START, RUN and type the following,
shutdown -r -t 05
After your computer comes back up from the reboot you should be good. If you want to run Internet Explorer then go to “Windows Update” and click check for updates. It should offer you Internet Explorer 9 to re download and install it.
