#146 What’s New in IE 9: Notification Bar
Internet Explorer 9 displays notifications that require action at the bottom of your screen called the Notification Bar.
From Microsoft’s Notification Bar FAQ:
“The Notification bar is a gold and white bar at the bottom of a webpage where Internet Explorer displays information about the status of your browser, a webpage, or a download. It usually provides you with one or more actions you can take, such as Open or Save, and then disappears if you navigate away from a webpage.
If the notification is about a pending download that requires action, the bar will briefly flash, and then turn solid gold. For less-severe notifications that don’t involve your privacy or security, the bar will disappear on its own after several seconds.”
Note: Keep an eye out for this as websites may not display correctly if you ignore the prompt.
