jeepster 1 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 no, leave IE on there, just dont use it. you need IE for windows updates etc so no point getting rid of it Link to post Share on other sites
Jaffa 0 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Peter, you can change the homepage in Tools/options. Thats another thing I like about Firefox; all the stuff you need to alter is in there, all in one place. I've installed that "forecastfox" and its excellent; now got Arbroath weather forecasts on the toolbar but I notice theres a tide timetable in the variables too. How do you get that to show on your toolbar? Help predict climate change! http://climateprediction.net Link to post Share on other sites
peter mccue 0 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Thanks Jaffa thats another job done! It certainly seems to be more streamlined than IE & much more user friendly. Its going to be interesting surfing with Firefox Peter. The loose lines gone..STRIKE. Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Sharpe 0 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I downloaded it, tried it and then got rid of it. I run IE and already have all the various devices for blocking ads and pop-ups. It wasn't the slightest bit faster than IE, but that might possibly be because I am running on Windows ME.
