IE8 & ESS v4.0.314.0

Minor annoyance but is anyone else getting firewall prompts when opening a new tab in IE8 (this is obviously after temp allowing IE access after the initial launch)? It didn't happen with IE7 so wondering why the change?

 

I don't get this prompt, what is your firewall settings, I guess it's interactive? Maybe to play around with this?. Mine is set to Automatic, no annoyances.

 

Unlikely previous version of Internet Explorer , in IE8 each tab is being loaded as a separate process . This is done ot prevent crashing of the whole browser should one of the tabs crashes.

Make sure that communication for Internet Explorer (iexplore.exe) is allowed (there is a rule created for it).
