Yeah, FINAL REVERT for Microsoft in this version (IE8)... If you don't listen to what users need, please don't blame anyone if you lose your IE's market share to other browsers (ex: Firefox, Safari,...)

Rather switch to Firefox - so long ago

I just want a download manager.

I've always wanted a download manager integrated into IE. I’m grateful for all the add security developments so I don’t have to keep fixing friends and family computers. But surely MS you could get one of your junior developers to spend a few weeks writing a download manager!! Firefox has one.

Wow, thanks.

No script is ok. I would have prefered a finer control than what it currently offers. However, it currently works better than IE Zones. In IE zones, if you set a top level as trusted, the sub-domains would still be in your internet zone. And you would have no way of knowing what the sub-domain was. You get no list of blocked sub-domains as you do with noscript. So I had to go through the page source and track down subdomains and add them to my trusted zone.

I've managed to replicate IE cookie behavior under FF as well. I use accept/ keep until close, and it deletes everything except allowed sites. Cookie exception dialog box needs a "Current site" button so I don't have to type the current site in.

And I can use FF with the RUNAS command under Vista, which I can't do with IE (for some dumb reason).

Now, all I need to do is search a mouse gesture plugin for FF and I'm done.

Thanks

1) Firefox has built-in preferences to block cookies, including only allowing session cookies.

2) Firefox can be told to always accept cookies from certain web sites (and to always reject them from others).

2a) You can also tell Firefox when to delete cookies, and it can save trusted cookies after closing.

3) The very popular add-on 'No Script' is your friend for advanced Java/JS/Flash controls. You can define specific sites to allow, and a small notification appears below your bookmark bar to let you know something is blocked and allow you to unblock it.

If the above doesn't meet your requirements, there's a host of other add-ons available as well from https://addons.mozilla.org

With regard to cookies, if FF3 doesn't meet your needs, you may be interested in one or more of these add-ons:

Slipstreaming IE8

As James and I mentioned in our blog post What’s coming in IE8 for IT Pros? , IE8 can now be slipstreamed

Sure,

What I currently need is:

1) To block all cookies except session cookies.

2) Allow approved websites cookie permissions.

2a) Keep these cookies after close.

3) Have 3 zones with javascript/flash/IEframe, etc. control.

3a) Need to have a zone identifier in status bar with current zone or website permission level.

That is all. If I can get all 3 working with Firefox, I'm there. If you can provide links, that would be nice.
