Donald asks…

How do I make Firefox my default internet page?

I have internet explorer and firefox and I usually work with firefox but when I open my messages with msn (hotmail) they automatically open with internet explorer. So basically, how do I get msn to open my inbox usinf firefox and not ie?

Michelle answers:

Unfortunately, if you’re opening hotmail from within Windows Live Messenger (or MSN Messenger), making Firefox your default browser will not solve this. Messenger does not respect Windows default browser settings, and is “hard coded” to use IE.

Here is one possible solution, although it seems fairly complicated:

Carol asks…

What’s the difference between Internet Explorer and FireFox? Why do people say I should switch to FireFox?

Every time I call for tech support they tell me I should switch to FireFox! Even when it has nothing to do with the internet. What are the differences, I want specifics, not vague answers like: It’s better or safer.

I have a Toshiba Satellite L355-S7817 Laptop.

Michelle answers:

Fire fox has better add-ons/plug-ins (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/), more customizable, less robust (smaller program – runs cleaner and quicker to install), and is less susceptible to spyware and viruses for starters. More malicious code is written for IE.

A couple of personal examples:

I was doing a online image map and could only do about individual coordinates before I would get a stacking error. I used fire fox and never had a problem.

I loaded an add-on that allows you to record youtube vids and mp3’s right in the browser. IE does not have this (that I know of – tech changes so quickly). Fire fox has a lot of little fun attributes like this.

I appreciate how Fire Fox lists your bookmarks in the url bar as you are typing into it. IE does it also, but it doesn’t display as much info as you are typing.

The people at Mozilla (Fire Fox) seem to respond to issues quicker than those at IE. When you do updates any problems are take care of.

I could keep going on with a list of things that are better than IE but I’m tired of typing. The type of laptop that you own doesn’t really make a difference.

Oh and It’s better and safer. 🙂
