    Changing to Firefox
    « on: January 27, 2006, 05:49:47 AM »
    I was thinking about putting firefox on my computer, but will I need to setup a new connection, or can I just install it, then I can take IE off.

    Thanks for all help

      Just install it and done.
      You can import anything you had in IE before. So no loss...But a lot of gain :) Leave IE for updates.

          If you are asking for conflicts there is no. I am using both for months. And IE might be required for Windows updates and etc...
          So leave it. Make Firefox your default browser and have a fun.  ;)

          No settings must be changed for Firefox to work. Just leave Inetrnet Explorer as a backup, nad of course, updates. Enjoy!

            Just changed to Firefox. SO much faster than IE. My parents already want to get it too.

            Install it for them  ;)  Use some extensions as well. Don't bother with the one named "Fasterfox" though. I used it. Kinda stupid... Caused a few problems too.
