Moderators rridgely Posted January 13, 2007 Moderators Share Posted January 13, 2007 No you don't need to uninstall internet explorer. (actually you can't uninstall it without messing up your pc). Firefox does have a fishing filter but there is also the mcaffee site advisor plug in for it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy357 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hey KS-FINN. Somebody that knows more will help You soon. But NO Dont uninstall IE, You can use them side by side . when I had it I had it on My desktop. I got rid of it Because I had other problems. But am going to download it again. I cant tell You about the phishing filter. But everyone here says it,s much safer than IE. Hope this helps a little. Cowboy. Oopps sorry I type to slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hello. Of course you don't need to uninstall Internet Explorer 7.0 before installing Mozilla Firefox. They're two completely separate products and you can have both installed at the same time, as a matter of fact, you can even use both at the same time. Mozilla Firefox is a great browser, I really recommend it! And yes, Mozilla Firefox does have a phishing filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators DennisD Posted January 13, 2007 Moderators Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hi KS-FINN, I always used IE6, and downloaded Firefox out of curiosity. When I first got this computer, I didn`t actually realise that there was an alternative to IE. I dowloaded IE7 just after it came out, and thought it was really good, especially with the tabbed browsing. However, I still occasionally got the dreaded "Internet Explorer is not responding, and will have to close". I now use Firefox2 99% of the time, and it has never, so far, failed on me. (I`m probably tempting providence saying that). The 1% I use IE7 for, is visiting the microsoft update site. Which I respectfully hope is something you do.

Woody Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Thanks for every ones help. Ill download it tonight. Firefox is a wonderful browser. Lots of very knowledgeable people here use it. If you ever have any problems with it, make this foum your first port of call. It is never difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman with a grievance and a ray of sunshine. P. G.
