At the bottom on the left, it says “advanced” and under that there is a link for “configuration settings” and you uncheck “broadband status notifications.” Good luck! (I tried it, but can’t tell yet because the problem is intermittent.)

I have found that if you visit another site (whether you want to or not) first in another tab (leave it open), then try to open the original site that your browser will not go to without closing first (again in a new tab), then it will usually work. If not, try doing the first step, then manually open a new tab and type in where you want to go. That should work. Good luck!

Here’s another trick–when IE says it needs to close and you have lots of tabs open, then start a new instance of IE before you click okay on the close button from the error message and it will close the new instance, leaving your fully functioning tabs open in the original instance that supposedly needed to close. :)

Oh my goodness! You are a saint if this works! I have googled and googled, but apparently didn’t put in the right search terms. This has been driving me NUTS for SO long! Why would anyone design a feature like that? It reminds me of my dryer that will beep 4 times to say it is going to ignore the settings that I just put in and use the last settings that I entered before that (even if that was a WEEK ago!) unless I press cancel first. I always yell at my dryer – just DO what I tell you! If you’re smart enough to tell me you’re not going to do it, then you could have been smart enough to just do it. Who are these people who design products this way?

So, the only thing I found to do, only in the case of facebook, but it may work for other sites too is to “cheat” it. I ended up typing in http://www.facebook.com and adding onto the end of the web address, either your profile page or an application, for example (and this is just an example I’m not even sure if it is a real address) http://www.facebook.com/photos . By adding to the end of the address I guess the computer takes it as a different page. So thats all I have been able to figure out about this annoying notification. Sorry it doesn’t fix it, but I hope it takes away a little frustration :)
