GRRRRRRRRRRRRR, i want my old one back (i asked about the problem and he said "this one is much better" "it hasnt done that stuff with me" well DUH thats because he doesnt use sites like i do that require a certain amount of security ) |

| I use mozilla and LOVE it. I agree with your boyfriend that it is much better (sorry) way more secure. I got a really bad virus in my computer using Internet Explorer. My computer tech told me to use mozilla cause it is much more secure and he was right. I had also had some one use my credit card some how and the only way that the info could have been gotten was over the internet because I only use that card for online purchases. But since I have had mozilla I haven't had any problems what so ever. I will take some getting used to. In order to not get those pop ups he has to adjust the settings on it. That is all. I dont get them anymore because my computer guy fixed it so I dont. |

| Just go to the top where it says "Tools" then click "Options" it gives you a choice to not allow pop-ups. |

| Here is the link to download it if interested. I swear by it. I have not had nearly as many issues as I did with Internet Explorer. http://www.mozilla.org/ |

| I love Mozilla too. My favorite part is how you add your bookmarks, it gives you an option to put them in folders right away instead of making or moving them to folders after. Fast and easy. |

| I love Mozilla and am hooked on the "tabs" feature- it is awesome. There are hundreds of extension you can download. Another favorite is the scrapbook. This is wonderful if you like a webpage as is (without information being changed or updated.) You download the extension and then just right-click, hit capture, and the webpage and it's links are yours forever-as is. I could go on and on- it's really great when you get used to it. |

| I use Mozilla too and I am surprised your getting popups. It has a firewall to prevent you from getting them. I never get pop ups and thats why I changed over to it from internet explorer.
