Web Browser Extensions

Active X controls (for Internet Explorer) do need administrative rights to install, please contact the Service Desk if you require this and we will review any security implications before installing them.
Please be aware that updates to browsers may render certain add ins unusable or unstable. If you are experiencing problems with your browser, and you have installed add ins, you should try running your browser in safe mode to see if an installed add ins is causing the problem. If your browser runs correctly in safe mode, you should disable the add ins one by one to determine which one has caused the problem.
