Steve wrote: |[...]when you install Firefox it will ask if you want to import IE Favorites, |so you will feel right at Home with it. | I actually sorta *like* the way IE does Favorites. Keeping each item as a file on the HDD allows you to have them timestamped, so I can search for stuff by date ranges. This DOES have the **disadvantage** of disk consumption of 8kB per item. I keep very little in my Mozilla bookmarks.html file. The 13 items in my Personal Toolbar (which stays minimized most of the time) is about all I keep there. My most-commonly-visited pages are links on an HTML page that I pull up from my Personal Toolbar. I keep the file manager open to access the majority of my Bookmarks/Favorites. I find it less irritating that repeatedly starting from zero and scrolling thru menus. |It is just a Browser, so there is not a big learning curve. | Yup--and the new stuff (like Tabbed Browsing) he will LOVE. Being able to close Tabs with a Middle-click is really nice. If he immediately installs the extensions FlashBlock, AdBlock Plus (and starts telling that what to ignore), and NoScript (and tells that what NOT to ignore), page loads get really fast and screenfuls of flickering, irritating crap become serene. (NoScript is a security enhancement as well.) Note: If you still go to sites that use (those incredible dangerous) ActiveX controls, you will still need M$IE--so those sites will still get a chance to infect your box. As soon as you are done with those garbage sites, close IE. Written in response to: re: Which Firefox for Installing on 98SE?
