Wow is right. I never expected to get an education today about Firefox, but I'm sure glad I did. It would never have dawned on me that it could be possible to have both browsers installed at once. Maybe some time we can talk about which anti virus and spyware programs the rest of you like best. I read about them at sites like majorgeeks.com and tucows.com, but I just realized that I trust other women's opinions a lot more. If other women tell me something's easy or good, I know they mean what they say.

I use Internet Explorer, but my Web designer introduced me to Firefox so I also have that installed. She's a Mac gal and prefers Firefox.

Hello...what on earth are you gals talking about? Spell check? Post pictures easier? Nothing has changed on my screen. I also tried going in over the BWS, but that didn't make any difference. I wanna see!

Thanks, Dotsie!

Edelweiss, I think that gims confused her browser with the forum, but I could be wrong about that. Yeah, I wanna see it, too= ha!

No, no confusion about browser versus forum.

EW, what browser do you use: MS Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera, Flock, AOL Explorer, other?

I have three installed on my PC: MSIE, Mozilla FF and Flock.

When I use FF to open the forums and post, a built-in spell checker assists me while I type. Why the difference? I can't tell you, but to say it just does. Could it be a plug-in that comes with Mozilla software? Can someone else, who has FF on their PC/MAC, give it a test?

Heck, I don't know.... I don't know 'NOTHING!' Ask my parents... they'll tell you that very thing!

gims, you're so advanced in tech knowledge that every post you make teaches me new things. Looks like I need to read up on browsers. I might be missing something good!

I have a Mac.. so I use Firefox mostly.. but sometimes I have to use Safari. When I had a PC, I always used Firefox.. I stayed away from IE like the plague.
