walkngdude Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Hello, I just reinstalled sync after formatting my C drive and it seemed to be running fine. But now when I click on the little windows arrow in the lower right corner and right click on sync and choose "hide/show sync" it pops up in a window that only says: "Sync does not support your web browser. For your security, please use a current version of Chrome or Firefox." Any help on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 did you install it as service or not? What IE version you have and is IE active (enabled or disabled) on your PC? Open a browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8888/gui , see what you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What IE version you have and is IE active (enabled or disabled) on your PC? Open a browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8888/gui , see what you get. 1) I did not install as a service (I believe). There was an option with a box that said it would run in the browser and I did not check it. 2) Internet Explorer says it's version: 8.0.761.17514 3) When I type in the loopback address, port 8888/gui in Firefox I get a window asking for my login information. Then I type in a common ID I often use I get what looks like a functioning Sync window. When I do the same in Internet Explorer after I login I get the error massage that I described above. I would prefer that Sync not run in a browser. Also I just found a link for IE version 11 for Windows 7 (my OS) that I have now installed. I'm going to restart now and see if that fixes it. I think that it will. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elephnerd Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 I had the same trouble as you said yesterday. OS whs2011, I installed the newest chrome and firefox browser, but it didn't work. Finally shooting this trouble after I installed the IE9(X64), now I can open the sync's GUI(version 2.6.3), cause my machine is outdate( Lenovo W130S, Cpu Atom N270, 2G DDR2 800）to run chrome browser. Sorry for my English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
