    Default I've had it w/ IE7

    I've had multiple failures and had IE7 lock up on me so many times I'm done. I just downloaded Firefox and I'm trying to get used to it. Any Firefox for reformed IE& users?

    IE 7 is a flimsy copy of Firefox in my opinion. You'll get used to it in no time.
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    Do y'all know how to make my Yahoo mail to open w/ FF instead of IE? I'm referring to the little envelope I get as a notice I have new mail.

    You need to make firefox your default browser.

    * Select "Tools - Options" from the main menu in Firefox.

    * Change to the "Advanced" tab/section. It could also be under "General" depending on the version of firefox you have.

    * Check the ""Firefox should check to see if it is the default browser when starting"" option.

    * Click ""OK"".

    * Close all Firefox windows (for best results, restart the system). Finally, restart Firefox.

    * When the ""Would you like to make [Firefox] your default browser?"" prompt appears, click ""Yes"" to make Firefox the default browser.

    Found version-specific directions:
    * Firefox 1.5: " "Tools -> Options -> General -> Default Browser -> Check Now"
    * Firefox 2: " Tools -> Options -> Main / System Defaults -> (checkmark) Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup -> Check Now"
    * Firefox 3: " Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General / System Defaults -> (checkmark) Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup -> Check Now"

    I heard of Firefox through some gaming buddies. They told me that Firefox had better control settings and was less prone to keyloggers (those things that record your keystrokes via a virus either through a particular website or a file on the website). Internet Explorer is outdated and sadly, so is most of Microsoft's products.

    I uninstalled IE from my machine and haven't looked back since. I know that Apple released a Windows platform of their OS explorer (I forget the name, though).

    You guys see this?

    I still use IE occasionally because some sites don't seem to work well with FF, but I use FF 95% of the time.

    love both linux (a free os) and ff. if windows is giving u a headache with all its problems then go to this site and see which version u need and dl then install. http://www.linux.org/dist/ we have the fedora version and its very similar to windows. we havent had as many problems with it since we got rid of xp. i occasionally cant go to some sites b/c it likes windows better.

    I've been using Firefox for years and years. I hate IE but have to use it every so often for a page that Firefox doesn't like. And of course to check how crappy it makes my web designs look
