guys and gals, i am sure many of you are already aware of this new browser but if you arent - give it a try! It is by far way better than IE and seems to use MUCH less mamory, is faster and more safe than MS IE.
try it! www.firefox.com |

It's faster and less virus/hacker targeted.
There are some great add-ons too!
My favorites are Forecastfox Enhanced, IE Tab, and PDF download.
The Forecastfox Enhanced puts a tiny weather center on th edge of your browser - if you hover the mouse over the little radar icon, up pops a decent sized live radar image of your areas weather! You can also see current conditions, today's and tomorrow's forecasts - without surfing for it.
The IE tab allows you to open a page in IE. Most but not all pages are Firefox friendly.
The PDF download allows you several opens when you encounter PDFs. Very nice!

I tried to use it, but it brings too much suck. Too slow for me and behavior is wrong.

Safari is the shizznits, but isn't for lower functioning PC.  |

Do you remove Explorer after installing FireFOX, or what?

No matter what Microsoooft says...
Internet Explorer IS the OS. You can't get rid of it. Just install Firefox and don't use IE any more.
And your online life will be good!

I am sticking with FireFox! |
