Buy a manual for an open source project with great online community and documentation? Nah... Look here http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/ and go to their forums if you have specific questions!

Bonne chance :)

http://www.yahoo.com/ ???

btw, i recommend www.google.com for searching ;)


:cool:

I agree!

Don't know what you meant by the yahoo.com link. That's just one of my e-mail accounts.

Anyway, I'm a confirmed googler. When I was having that damned scripts error, that was the only place I could find a page that had out-dated, unwanted, or whatever else dll's.

I'm trying to order the manual, but every time I do that the timer runs out on the connection and I get a message saying the url could not be found. Any clues?

I'm really kind of wandering around in the dark with this, although I really like the browser I don't know how to set it up the right way. Does Firefox come with a built-in firewall? :confused:

The only thing that installing FireFox will change is your default browser. Upon installing the software you will be given the choice to import your information (favorites, cookies, what-not) from IE. Once you have FireFox installed go here to customize the browser (I reccomend checking out the Pimpzilla theme, its hella-cool!). I think that FireFox's market share is going to greatly increace after IE7 is released. Micro$oft, in hopes of turning more people on to upgrade to XP SP2, has decided to only have IE7 work with windoze XP with SP2. I think that is going to lose the browser war for Internet Explorer. If any of you are interested in promoting Mozilla/Firefox you should check out www.spreadfirefox.com. If you are using PG2 you need to allow HTTP (port 80) to get some websites to load. Good luck.

Happy with Mozilla Firefox
 

Hello there,

I switched to Firefox and just love it! I am in the process of reading up on Thunderbird, and it looks like I'm going to download it, too.

Now, my question is do I have to uninstall the Mozilla Firefox first, or can I download the Mozilla Suite over it? Will the bookmarks, preferences, themes.master password, security preferences be saved?
I searched the Mozilla Firefox forum, but I guess I just got tired of looking at the hundreds of threads so I came here.

I honestly think their security settings are absolutely the best. Hopefully, by the time Windows 98SE runs out of support, I'll have a different computer with Windows XP. For now, I don't think my computer can handle it.

Thank you deepblue for your button at your sig. I was curious and now I'm so much better about switching.

Ghost Surf
 

Hi u2btrfly

I read in this thread that you have ordered/purchased Ghost Surf, an application that, supposedly, hides your IP address.

Well, I have done a little reading on this and, from what I remember, it hides your IP address by routing your internet connection through their own proxy servers. Whether this is still the case, i.e. using their own servers or someone else’s, I can’t say but I hope that once you have evaluated this software you will be able to tell us.

By the way, I’ve got colleagues who have set up their own “home-made” hardware proxy server using an old Pentium PC running linux O/S and a freebie application called Smoothwall. However, to go to this length you need time and dedication, but once set up it is smooth sailing.

Just remember that there is no real way to hide your IP address on the internet, so don’t get taken in by claims of anonymous surfing.

Gee UK,

I guess I'm really going to have to look over Ghost Surf real good because I don't want to get mixed up with proxies until I have this a little more down pat.

I did get some kind of proxy error. I don't know why, but Firefox wanted to download
Adobe 6 into my computer. I already have it. Anyway, when I rebooted and tried to get an automatic ISP connection, got a Proxy error. Seems to have fixed itself for now, but I hope this doesn't happen again. The error told me check proxy settings and I didn't have any, at least according to "Internet Options."

I was also having a problem with my printer again - cyclic redundancy error. I remembered that I bought an Optimize program from PCPitstop. I ran it and behold, the printing issue was resolved. The programs looks for redundant registry errors, so I figured it may work and it did. I received a reply from HP prior to fixing it myself and once again they gave me a big list of stuff to do.

Also, any suggestions for the Mozilla question I posted?
