Hijacked Browser
As a result of locking the computer at work down I discovered that Firefox is totally broken. There was a new Firefox release recently. I downloaded the new version (updating has been failing, I have to do a full install) and attempted to install it. The install failed to complete – presumably because I don’t have permissions for the Windows System folder. I tried to uninstall the new version, and then the prior version. Neither would complete so I have a broken Firefox install on my work machine. IE is an older tab-less version so I have to open a new window for everything. The thing is, when using the Outlook (yech, but I’m not in charge) browser connection hitting the shortcut key sequence of Ctrl+N might open a new window or it might open a new email compose window. I’m sure that has something to do with where my pointer is on the screen when I hit Ctrl+N but it’s really annoying that IE would be hijacked like that.
