Your Questions About Firefox

Thomas asks…

Is it possible to download and install updates using the Firefox browser?

I like Firefox quite a bit and would like use it as my default browser instead of Internet Explorer 8. Would I still be able to download and install microsoft updates?

Michelle answers:

You cannot use Firefox to download from the Microsoft Update site. Turn on Automatic Updates instead – then you get the best of both worlds

How do I transfer my favorites from IE to Firefox?

Someone downloaded Firefox on my computer recently, and I’ve switched at work too. When I did it at work it asked me if I wanted my favorites to go too, and they did. How do I change it if Firefox has already been installed? Any ideas?

Michelle answers:

Open Firefox, click on File, then Import. It will give you the option to import from IE, click next. Choose what you want to import from IE, click next, it will import, then click finish, your done.

-Good Luck

David asks…

How do I move my firefox to another computer?

I have just gotten an Eee, and want to get firefox on it. The problem is that almost all of my bookmarks have icons I added with Favicon Picker 3. Is there anyway to move those icons? Cause I don’t know where I found them before.

Michelle answers:

In Firefox click Bookmarks – Manage Bookmarks – File – Export

Export them to a cd/dvd/flash drive

Install Firefox on your Eee

Once Firefox is installed navigate to C:Documents and SettingsUserApplication DataMozillaFirefoxProfilesgx8cc284.default

User is your username and gx8cc284.default user will be some other randomly created string of numbers and letters

Drag your exported file here and all will be good to go.
