Hmmmm, this is pretty nice. I hope no bugs start to bite. First time I downloaded Firefox I raved about it. The first one was fast. This one is great.

Thanks.

Wink did I put the wrong

icon up? Duh...?

I have noticed too, that my resource icon/widget is showing
lower numbers since we upgraded. Even when the browser is not engaged. This is puzzling...I think.

So far I like it... I guess they will be fixing the "hole" soon.
I don't go to questionable links..or download or game. We are soooo stodgy!

I like the upgrade too...it seems very efficient!

Yes you download it - close all other pgms and install it-

during the install it will ask a few questions - like -
- do you want it to be the default browser? { you can always change it later if you want to in the settings/options}
do you want to import favs/bookmarks etc ?

It will import your stuff - to be sure I usually save a copy/ back up in my documents or somewhere - i have even emailed them to my self a few times

hmm i should do that again it's been awhile..

I use FF most of the time but once in awhile I need to use IE for some sites - so IE still there It just depends on which one you open up.
If you set one or the other as the default then when you click a link or need to open one from a email or something then the default is the one opened.

It says: "NEW FIREFOX 3.0

Thumbs up We have done THREE scans

since this upgrade... and both of our programs are finding ZERO....objects.

Previously it was about 40-50 /week!

This is a very nice browser! It is blocking junk! How cool is that? And FREE!
