Firefox is totally new to me. Being an old fogey, this will take time.

to tell the truth all internet browser tools are unsafe!!

when you enable add-ons ,activex and other script dependent tools ,

your machine can be hacked..

and if you disable those features you will have a text only stupid

browser ;D ;D


the main reason lying behind is client side scripting..

Go here:

Download it, then make it your default browser. You can still keep IE on your desktop.  :y
