In case anyone besides me was interested in what the acronym “HIPS” expands to (although its meaning seemed fairly clear from context in this thread), it’s “Host-based Intrusion Prevention System.“

Hi Ralph2,
That’s great.

Although I had not previously seen the specific problem you had reported, I had a strong feeling that the cause was in the source. And by the way, I know this great bridge for sale… :p

Hi Ralph2,
If you wouldn’t mind posting the web page’s URL, we could then look at the “page source.”

Satrow (in #47): “If you think back to dial up days, a 20-30GB browser download would be an hour or more when the PC was almost unusable online.”

Hi Satrow,
Being still on dial-up, I got excited reading the above until I realized that you probably intended to write “20-30MB” instead. Maybe in the next millennium…

Hi Les,
This is starting to drive me crazy! :confused: But it’s sounding even more to me (whatever weight that warrants) like an issue at Hertz and at SouthWest. Have you seriously contemplated filing a trouble report with each company, or does the prospect of obtaining informed technical assistance seem too remote?

Dave

Hi Les,
With regard to Example 1, I’m wondering whether the data that the Hertz web server might have stored with FF about your preferences or attributes might be different on your desktop than on your laptop. Perhaps try clearing your private data (or whatever that collection is called in FF 22.0).

Dave

Hi Les,
Another possible avenue would be to determine for each machine, the versions of any other software (e.g., Java, Flash) that the Southwest or Hertz websites require (if in fact either does have such a requirement). Yet another might be patches that have been downloaded and installed (e.g., for the operating system). These thoughts aren’t based on any specifics of what you had reported, I’m just tossing them out there. 8O)

Hi Ned,
I would imagine that finding the utility at last was richly satisfying. Congratulations!

Dave

Hi Ned,
Below is the URL of a webpage that describes various applications that enable the user to create shortcut keys. I have not used any of them, but they seem to bear at least superficial resemblance to something that might be similar to what I understood you have used in the past. I do hope that I qualified that sufficiently.

Hope this helps,
