Can someone let us know where to go to download the program mozilla firefox and which version? Thanks for your replys to our posting here. The IE has gotten so aggravating lately to use. Again thank you.

Thank you so much for posting this information, I just downloaded it. Hopefully I did everything correct, I am not good at using the computer
Hugs, Patti and Jack

My security vendor switched us to Mozilla Firefox a year ago and it is so much better than IE and according to them more secure.

Mozilla Firefox...it's free and since I started using it i've never gotten a virus or annoying popups.

One of the other things I'm really loving about Firefox is how it keeps your most frequently visited sites up in the bar on top. I hardly ever have to click bookmarks now. Am I too easily pleased?

eta- Also the Cooliris add on. How fun is that? I can play with that all day.

LOL, you are easy to please. Did you know you don't have type the full address to your most visited sites? Like you can type "ebay" or "yorkietalk" and it does the rest for you.

What's Cooliris? I don't play with add-ons so I've not seen it.

Thanks for replying to our post.
Patti and Jack and girls.

What kind of problems are you having with IE?
I am concerned because that is all I have ever used.
Maybe I should change it.

It would really be a good idea to switch.
It is safer for your computer.

I'm surprised to see so many people still using IE.
My major issue is compatibility issues with Firefox but it is worth that.

LOL, yeah, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Cooliris is a search engine for images or video but your results come back kind of 3-D. It looks like they are scrolling through space. I think it's pretty nifty.

This may not be the most up to date info but... IE has a known security breech. Up until now only gamers' passwords have been compromised but the breech could extend to other things if they don't get it fixed. MS has a patch for it but I heard it is very complicated and ineffective. I was getting viruses and my computer was locking up. No problems now that I'm using firefox.

Can you tell me how to switch? Do I have to uninstall IE?

duckie215 · 01-22-2009, 02:14 PM

I'm another fire fox believer. we still have IE just in case we need it to open something but 95% of the world is now fire fox compatible.

There's a link posted in this thread to download. You don't have to uninstall IE just use the firefox icon to get on the internet instead of the IE one.
