There are three ways to bookmark pages:
- Click the Bookmark (Chrome) or Favourites (Edge) icon to save pages to your favourites bar.
- Drag the lock icon to the Bookmarks toolbar.
- Drag the submenu item to the Bookmarks toolbar.
Proxy server, firewall, and Internet security settings
If the Internet connection on your local network runs a proxy server, firewall, or other Internet gateway solution (such as WebMarshal), we recommend that you add your CCH iFirm Web site address to the list of exceptions. This can affect the performance of your CCH iFirm application. If you experience speed issues, then you should eliminate your proxy server, firewall, or gateway software as the possible cause.
You should add the following sites to your exceptions list:
-
acclipse.com - Google-analytics.com
