How does firefox compare to google chrome?
I heard that firefox is really secure, but is google chrome the same?
Thanks.
Michelle answers:
I’ve used just about every browser from IE to opera. Firefox to chrome. I’d say that in my opinion chrome is slightly better then firefox. Browser aren’t 100 % dependent on how fast they are them self’s it also depends on your processor and broadband speed. I’m running vista on a single core with 512 MB. I have found that both browsers are good but both have bad things and good things about them. Firefox is fast but i think chrome can be faster at times but there isn’t much difference. In terms of extensions (addons) Firefox has loads more than chrome. Although chrome has a simple interface and simple tasks like bookmarking are easier to do. So if you want a fast browser with loads of addons then i suggest Firefox. If you want a slightly faster browser but not so many addons then get chrome. If you don’t really care about addons but like a fast browser then i suggest opera (it has widgets instead of addons). In terms of security they none of them really helps in tht area so i suggest getting avira a free anti virus if you haven’t already. But Firefox will check for viruses when downloading i believe chrome does the same. But its up to you. BTW chrome and Firefox have a add-on called WOT which tells you if you can trust a website or not. I hope this helps 🙂

Michelle answers:
1. If you’re using Firefox 3, it could be the phishing filter.
2. If you’re using Microsoft Live OneCare it could be one of the constant scanning files.

Which Mozilla Firefox version is the best one to download for Windows 7?
If you use Firefox, which version do you use and why do you think it’s the best version? Thanks!
Michelle answers:
There is only one released version (currently 7.0.1). If you install Firefox, you’ll get the newest one automatically.

How do I make Yahoo email default when I use Mozilla Firefox browser?
I am using the Mozilla Firefox browser and every time I click on an email link it brings up gmail. I want it to bring up Yahoo because that’s the email carrier I use. I changed the default email to Yahoo within Yahoo, but that didn’t help. What else should I do?
Michelle answers:
To setup yahoo email as your default mail using Firefox 3 (Yahoo now recommend you use this browser) and it will work with Vista.
* Download and install firefox 3 http://downloads.yahoo.com/?p=win
* After installation and when you have Firefox 3 up and running, click “tools”, then “options”.
* In the options window that pops up, click the applications tab.
* Scroll down to “mailto” and change to “use yahoo mail”
* Finally click “OK”.
