Oh and you can use either one as you want.
A few sites/programs will only work with IE, but it will give you a notice on FireFox if you need to switch to IE.
If that happens- just copy the link and open IE and paste the link in the location bar, hit enter and it's good to go.

You can have both open at the same time if you want - IE and Firefox

Well, what can I say. I love you!!!

Not only did I do the sidebar thing and got the favorites on the left side, the thing loads up links so fast, it's amazing. Far faster than Internet Explorer.

I imported my favorites. So I have my favorites on the left side of my screen. Why is Firefox faster than IE???

Oh, one more question. Right now, I have my favorites on the left side of the page, (I'm using Firefox). If I go to a website, and I want to add it to my favorite places (I know, they are called bookmarks in Firefox), well, how do I do this? In IE, there was a star at the top of the left side with the word "add", I would click on the star, and that website would be added to my favorites.
I am looking at the top of the left side of my bookmarks, and there is no way to add a favorite place.

Is there a procedure to add favorite places to the left side of my screen?

Thanks so much. You are all dolls!!!

P.S. and the user id and passwords WORK IN FIREFOX. Glory Be

I think the consensus is that IE is a bloated program and because of that is slower, don't really know why...

To make a bookmark or save a site or page-

Click on Bookmarks up at the top
and the second thing in the list is "bookmark this page"
click that and it's added.

Hi Jo:

I’ve learned how to do bookmarks.

Now here’s my problem.

When I am at my computer, and I click on the Mozilla icon, it takes me to a Google page.

I don’t want this page to be my home page. I want MSN.com

Now I have not made firefox my default browser yet. I want Alan to get to know this and when he learns how fast this is, he will probably say, Oh, wow, let’s make this our default browser.

But until this happens, am I stuck with Google being my home page. If not, how do I make MSN.com my home page??

And I just learned how to make my folder "MElody's Stuff", appear as the first thing on the left side of my favorites. I love this.

See, I can still learn at the age of 60. This is so cool!!!

Oh, and this is a good question. Since I only want to put certain links into Melody's Stuff, and I know how to bookmark a page, (Let's use this particular website for example".). How can I bookmark this forum, Computers, into my Melody's Stuff Folder?? I mean, I know I can go to Bookmarks, and click on Bookmark this page. But will it go into my Melody's Stuff folder, or will it go to the bottom of all the bookmarks? Then I'll have to take my cursor and move it up into the Melody's Folder???? There must be a way to click on "add this bookmark and it will go directly into Melody's folder, right?

I'm going to try and do this right now.

NER MIND. I FOUND OUT HOW TO DO THIS. I just clicked on Bookmark this page, it prompted me where to save it, and it went right into Melody's Folder.

Lady, I owe you BIG TIME!!!!
Thanks, Melody (and believe me, this is the best thing since sliced bread)

If you don't make IE or Firefox the default you can use both as you want.
If you make one the default then when you open links in other programs or documents or email the default one will be used.

to change the home page just put the MSN link into the location bar - hit enter to go to it
then go up to Tools / Click Options then click on the Main tab
then click on the use current page

close and reopen to see if MSN is set as home page for you.

or you can just copy and paste the MSN link right into home page area and click OK to save it

Hi. You said:

If you make one the default then when you open links in other programs or documents or email the default one will be used."

I've read this three times. Not sure what you mean by open links in other programs or email...etc.

Can you please elaborate.

And I'll do the msn home page thing. Thanks so much.

You should have seen Alan surfing the net in this Mozilla Thing.

I just love that it lets me store passwords and user id's.

P.S. UPDATE... UPDATE....UPDATE.....

I did the MSN homepage thing. It didn't work when I did "use current page", so I just typed in the URL for MSN and clicked okay. Exited and when I went back in, there was MSN.

Now I have to learn what Add-ons are.
