| I just switched to Firefox a few weeks ago. I was worried that I wouldn't like it because I was so used to IE but it is very easy to use and get used to. All you need to do is go to the Mozilla site and downland it and run it.

| Yeah we use Mozilla at work also and I use it at home now. I was getting all kinds of errors with IE. Mozilla works great and most everyone I know uses it now.

| Firefox You will get very few pop-ups and around 90% less viruses. If you have a Mac, you might also want to look at Safari.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I've used Firefox for years now. What I also love about it is that one of Firefox's add-ons is Foxmarks - and it not only bookmarks like usual, but it keeps all of your bookmarks online as well (privately) and backs them up automatically. You could access them from anywhere. AND, it can synchronize bookmarks from multiple computers, if you want. So, when I save a new bookmark - it is then synchronized to the 2 other computers I use so that ALL my bookmarks look exactly the same on the computers I use.

| I switched to Firefox a few months ago too and I am very happy with it. I agree, I feel that it runs faster than internet explorer. Pages just seem to load quicker. The only drawback I have for using it, is that a lot of the video lectures that I have to watch for college classes are not compatible with firefox.

| I switched to Firefox a few weeks ago when Internet Explorer was having security problems. It is a much more secure server. I find it loads much faster and I don't have all the problems with freezing up I did with IE. |
