Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/) is an open source browser. It’s steadily growing in popularity as an alternative to Internet Explorer. The benefits of using Firefox over IE are many, but what they all come down to is with Firefox you have a lot of freedom to customize your browser so that it acts like you want it to act.
1. Go to Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/) and download it. It’s a big program, so it might take a bit of time, if you have a slow connection. You will also have to have administrative access to your computer.
2. Modify your browser theme - In your browser, go to Tools, then Add-Ons, then Get Themes. Browse the different themes and choose a look that fits your personality. Don’t worry, you can always go back and change it.
3. Add these Extensions: Adblock, Flashblock, Tab Mix Plus, IE View Lite. Read about each one, and what it does.
4. Add buttons to your browser. Go to View, then Toolbars, then Customize. Choose buttons that you would like to have available. “New Tab” and “Print” are very helpful.
5. Create a folder for places you go often. Right click on the task bar below the buttons, select “New Folder” and name the folder. Go to each page that you open all the time, and drag and drop the URL into the folder.
6. Open your folder In Tabs. Click on the folder, select Open In Tabs, and watch the magic!
