Apr 08, 2005 09:01 am Nevermind, sorry to waste everyones time. A brief search reveals my answers.
To any others who may be asking these questions..
www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
Apr 08, 2005 09:04 am Yep, free, ya get it there and I have yet to see it scrrew up anyones PC...actually, your PC will screw up less due to the massive decrease in drive-by spyware and malware installs and other internet threats...I've been using it for months and will never go back.

Apr 08, 2005 09:09 am Yeah, I have read posts here about firefox. I dont want to run IE on my computer due to the way it fks up computers. I am burning firefox to disk tonight so I can load it on my other computer and delete IE. Then I can set a system restore point and prepare to run the ethernet cable over the weekend.
Apr 08, 2005 09:16 am I personally wouldn't recommend uninstalling it, just not using it...you think IE fks up PC's you should see what trying to uninstall it does sometimes...

Apr 08, 2005 09:17 am uh oh. If I start getting pop-ups on this computer, I am going to freak out. Maybe I wont go online with it. Maybe Ill just run a cable to another computer in the house and transfer files between the two when needed.

Apr 08, 2005 09:27 am You shouldnt get popups with firefox...
Since dB told me about it I LOVE IT!!! I would buy him a case of beer because of it. I haven't had one problem with it...Since I fixed my glich on my PC I am so stoked that I can use it at home. It was freezing before but now it doesn't....
Anyone who knows extensive knowledge on computer/internet related stuff loves this product as well...
I know two guys who are IT guys and own a studio also. I told them I use Firefox and they "gave me props" fo using it...
Apr 08, 2005 09:30 am good to hear Jason...especially the case of beer thing :-)
Apr 08, 2005 10:19 am I haven't had a single pop up since I started using firefox.
It's totally the way to go.

Apr 08, 2005 10:57 am Firefox has thus far been the best suggestion since someone told me "your playback meters shouldn't make those red lights at the top blink"...
And then of course my moms advice of, "keep the scissors out of the outlets"...c'mon, whattya expect from a 17 year old.
Apr 08, 2005 10:58 am or "keep doing that and you'll go blind".
