Enabling Cookies in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome

The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the configuration behavior) on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs.

  Having your web browser's cookies disabled can cause many websites to not display appropriately or, sometimes, not work at all. It is important that you have cookies enabled to ensure the websites you visit operate in the correct manner that they should.

To some, the concept of enabling cookies is a foreign procedure and can prove to be a difficult task. The truth is that it is actually very simple to change your browser's settings to enable and allow cookies. Let's take a look at a few different web browsers and the processes you have to complete for you to enable cookies.

The options available on Internet Explorer for enabling cookies can be found by clicking "Tools" followed by "Internet Options" and finally by clicking "Privacy". Once you have arrived at this page, you will see a few different options as well as a slider that you can adjust by simply clicking and holding your cursor on the bar and moving it up or down.

Depending on how much you move the slider up or down will change your current browser settings for cookies. The higher up the bar you move it, the more restrictions your browser will place on accepting cookies from websites which can cause interruption in the use of some websites.

If you move the bar lower, however, you will change Internet Explorer's settings to allow more cookies which will let practically any website you visit operate properly. It is recommended to set this at Medium as it provides a good balance between security and allowing safe sites.

In the browser provided by Google, Chrome, you have to click a bit more before reaching the cookie options. Select "Options" from the "Customize and Control" menu and after that you will want to click on the "Under the Bonnet" tab.

Once you are there simply look for the "Content Settings" button within the area labeled "Privacy". You will be able to adjust your cookie settings easily in this section. Remember enabling cookies helps to allow websites to operate the way they are supposed to.

Mozilla Firefox is one of the simplest browsers to locate and adjust cookie settings in. All you have to do is go to "Tools", then "Options" and finally click on the "Privacy" tab and you will have easy access to all options available for enabling cookies or disabling cookies once you arrive here.

  Being the huge internet user that I am, I have specific sites that I always go to. Search engines probably taking up the most of my time. I might search for products or do various other types of research. Therefore, instead of going to a news site like CNN, I would rather go straight to Google's page. From there, I have my Google Reader, which gives me the information I'm interested in on other blogs and news sites. Also, I have my email right there, and my search engine that I most frequently use. Instead of typing in the iGoogle URL each time, I have it set to my homepage to make it quicker to access.

Unfortunately, when you buy your first computer, they don't ask you what you want your homepage set to. Instead, they give you a default page, often linked to a search engine or site that would generate income from for your usage. Internet Explorer I believe owns MSN, which means that this is often the first site you would see in a typical fresh installation of Internet Explorer.

Firefox generates income each time you would use the Google search from their default page on their browser. Rumor has it that they have made hundreds of thousands of dollars from this tactic from Google, which is one reason why Google created their own browser.

If you want to change your homepage in one of these browsers, there is a really simple process to do this.

1: Open your Internet Explorer
2: Click on "Tools" tab at the top. (Note: In Internet Explorer 7 this is located on the right side of the screen)
3: A popup window should now be open
4: Click on the "General" tab.
5: You should now see a blank area or the default homepage listed in "Home Page". You can simply type in your desired home page URL here.
6: Click "OK". 1: Open your Mozilla Firefox.
2: Click on "Tools" tab at the top your screen.
3: You will need to scroll down and find the "Options" button.
4: A popup window should now be open.
5: Click on the "Main" tab.
6: Click on the "Start up" section. This should be at the top of the window.
7: Ensure that you have "Show my home page" selected for when Firefox starts up.
8: You can erase what is in the text box and type your preferred home page in.
9: Click "OK".

For either browser, you can simply close your web browser and open it up again to ensure that it is working. You should now see your custom selected homepage for either Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox!
