Shes still charming
lol I had forgotten the sharp toungue and disregard for critique..
Nothing.
Must IE be deactivated at any time?
No. (Not that you could.)
Are any usual functions deactivated if Mozilla is loaded?
Of course not.
There is no reason you can't have multiple browsers on your system. I have: Mozilla, Opera, Off By One and IE4 (installed by the OS, and which I never use).
I love FR. You get so much help here. And if you are ever feeling lonely, just ask a question about computers. Ok, so a couple of people will ask you if you are logged in. And someone will be along eventually to say this has already been posted.
Now, if someone would tell me why Dell ships their new computers running 49 processes in the background. This is ridiculous. Does anyone have that link handy for the website that has a long list of start-up applications you can safely turn off? Also, does anyone have a clue why my cursor keeps disappearing and then showing up in the corners of the screen?
Firefox is OK, but if you want something far more easier to use, http://flashpeak.com and download Slimbrowser for free. It fits over your IE browser. Blocks pop-up and is a hellavalot easier to use than Firefox
Thanks for the guidance...

"Cost around $500, but you cannot buy the quality that I now have."
Why can you buy the quality that you now have and I can't?
Rather entertaining, though, when she was on the shows debating liberals.
If you use Mozilla instead of IE (and that is what I use, Mozilla Firefox), when a site tries to load a popup, it tells you "acme.com was prevented from loading a popup." Then, if acme.com is your bank and you NEED to have that popup, you click on a small icon and can tell Mozilla whether this is a one-time deal or whether you always want it to trust acme.com for popups.
You can do it all interactively like that -- the default is not to accept popups without explicit instructions -- and if you make a mistake you can go into preferences and fix it. Managing cookies is almost as easy. And it's not vulnerable to many of the spyware and trojan attacks that IE is.
I haven't seen a popup in a turtle's age.

What kind of spyware is being installed on your computer and what is the technical method used that will allow a program to be installed without permission. Not even IE will allow that.
You're not referring to cookies are you?
This could give a whole new meaning to "Eagles up!"
(Did I say that outloud?)
I got spyware with Mozzila
Don't let the hype blind you. Firefox is OK, but not great. After a ten day trial with Firefox, in my opinion it loads slower even after the tweaks, and many web pages are distorted even to the point of being unreadable. Firefox also doesn't intergrate with Outlook, and while the simple answer is to use a different email package, I have neither the time nor inclination mess with my office suite on a couple dozen work stations.
Anytime. :)
Does Mozilla override Microsoft Explorer during its install? If not, how do I delete Microsoft Explorer? Thanks in advance.
Thanks, those are exactly the questions I wanted to ask.
