Unable to access Verizon website with IE11
Posted on 2015-01-30
A customer has a very strange problem. IE11 works OK with every website that I have tested except for Verizon. When the customer tries to get her email from Verizon, the sign-in page partially loads, the screen flashes and the sequence repeats. Eventually IE just closes.
As I said, this appears to be unique to the Verizon website from this computer. I tried the website on my computer, and had no problem.
I have reset IE twice.
The OS is Windows 7, the antivirus is Norton Security.
Superantispyware found nothing but tracking cookies.
If we try to get to the website with Chrome, everything is OK.
I would rather have a properly operating IE and a customer that is not freaking out (many of my customers are quite fragile and given to anxiety attacks when things don't work or even when they are a little different).
What would cause this kind of behavior in IE?

Access the website in IE, then click on Tools, Compatibility settings, view this site in compatibility mode and see if that works. It usually does.

Thank you for the update. I do not think it is an IE problem, but rather a Verizon issue. The symptoms you describe (I have seen them) are compatibility issues. But in this case compatibility view does not fix it.
You can try removing all or most add-ons and then resetting IE. Tools, Internet Options, Advanced and Reset. Restart the computer and try Compatibility again.
If no, you will probably have to use a different browser.

I suspected that it was a Verizon issue. In fact, according to the customer, everything was OK until she called Verizon for help with a password change.
Based on what you said, I turned off Protected Mode, and everything works, but that sounds like a kind of flaky way to operate.

Yes. I keep Protected mode ON. If you have a careless or gullible user, Protected Mode OFF can lead to problems.
