Have you put out an APB on IE? How did you lose it?

I despite Firefox, and would suggest against using it, but that's just me.

If you'd prefer getting IE back, you can always uninstall and reinstall. Although it might just need the cache and cookies cleared. I've been amazed the number of times that simple act fixes a lot of IE problems.

Otherwise, I'd recommend Chrome over Firefox, but that's my preference. Actually, my preference is IE, then Chrome, then Firefox. If only Netscape Navigator was still around.

Both Chrome and Firefox are better options than IE. Lately, Adobe Flash Player has been crashing a lot on all three browsers, I have noticed so I think the problem is Adobe rather than the browsers. You may always re-download the Flash Player from here but don't let the McAfee security program install itself, unless you want McAfee. If you really want IE, though, I recommend sticking with version 9 which is available here. Regardless of your choice of browser, I heartily recommend configuring it so that it never keeps your history and always empties the cookies and temporary files when you close it.

Your preference is IE Cag? Are you completely insane?

Haha, I'm a FireFox guy myself. I use Chrome and Opera as well at work, but IE is my absolute last resort.

Sarge, go to "settings --> addons --> plugins" and see if your flash plugin is out of date or disabled. You should be able to start the update process right from that page.
