Hi David,

When you downloaded firefox, you should have gotten a new icon for your desktop that looks like a fox hugging a globe. If you didn't get that icon loaded on your desktop, you'll want to go into your programs and click on firefox (and copy a shortcut for your desktop). If you open the web through this icon, then you'll be in firefox and not internet explorer. After opening it the first time and you are comfortable with it, you can click the widow that it shows you at each startup that says make it the default browser. Give it a week of playing with it first.

Hope that helps, I'm not much of a techie.

It's really great to be reading your posts again!
