I've installed Chrome Frame on my website. Testing it out though, it
doesnt work immediately. I have to close and reopen the browser before
it kicks in and recognizes my meta tag.
Is this behavior expected?

No. GCF should work without a restart. I've filed a bug and will investigate:

I've noticed something similar with http://thinklinkr.com too. Works fine
after restart.

Hi all, seems like this thread is old, but I don't want to create duplicates.
Was there ever a solution to this? I can't find it for looking online.
Our application uses webRTC and requires IE users to install Chrome Frame in order to work as expected, but in the majority of cases Chrome Frame does not work, and is not detected by the browser agent until the browser is restarted.
It states in the Chrome Frame docs that a restart is not necessary, but our user testing tells us otherwise.
Is there any way to force an update of BHO's in IE? It seems this is why Chrome Frame is not detected, but I can't find a way to force this without a restart.
Any ideas? This is breaking our user experience if we need to ask the user to restart their browser to use our web app.

Hi all, did anyone find a solution to this? We require IE users to have Chrome Frame installed to use our web app, and have found repeatedly in our UX testing that the plugin is not activated until the browser has been restarted - anyone any ideas if and how we might overcome this? How to reactivate BHOs programatically?
We did find that one user switched compatibility mode and this seemed to activate GCF, though I am sure this was more about refreshing BHOs than the compatibility mode itself. Any idea how we might use this to our advantage to save a browser restart?

Are you running the CF installation through the regular CF download flow?
Context:
By default IE requires a restart when installing a new BHO as it only scans
for them at startup.
CF solves this by having its installation page poll for the CF ActiveX
control to be registered at which point it invokes a method on the control
to load the BHO into the currently running IE process. The method is called
"registerBhoIfNeeded" as documented in
http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/chrome_frame/chrome_tab.idl.
If this method is not getting called, then the BHO won't be loaded until IE
is restarted. Also, IIRC a limitation of this method is that it may be that
if multiple IE windows are open and are rendered by other IE processes (so
for IE versions >= 8), that those other windows won't pick up the BHO until
IE is restarted. If this is the case, you could manually poll for the
presence of the CF ActiveX in your app and call that method during install
time.
