What’s the difference between mozilla and firefox?
I thought firefox was a browser made by a company called mozilla. Then I read a comment from someone that said “mozilla, firefox, and opera are very fast”
Michelle answers:
I think that comment is wrong. Mozilla is an organization that makes several different software packages, including Firefox. There may have been other browsers from Mozilla in the past, but at this point all they offer is Firefox and a suite which includes a browser, called Seamonkey. See www.mozilla.org.

How do I log into my Yahoo account with Firefox?
Firefox recently just gave up allowing me to access my Yahoo account. Every time I enter my log in details, I am taken directly back to log in page. I am not given an error message, and I can log in fine through explorer, which I hate having to use. I am using the latest version of Firefox, and I have installed the update on the firebug bolt on. Help!
Firefox recently just gave up allowing me to access my Yahoo account. Every time I enter my log in details, I am taken directly back to log in page. I am not given an error message, and I can log in fine through explorer, which I hate having to use. I am using the latest version of Firefox, and I have installed the update on the firebug bolt on, although Firefox stopped working prior to installing Firebug (Another question forum suggested that the up to date Firebug may solve the problem. It didn’t). Help!
Michelle answers:
I have the latest version of Firefox and have never had a problem. I have never used the Firebug add-on. Try disabling it and see if that solves the problem.

How can I get web icons on my desktop to link to Safari and not Firefox?
On my desktop it has links to my favorite websites. When I open them up they open to Firefox and not Safari web browser. The thing I set Safari is my default internet browser on ‘Program Access and Defaults’ and Firefox is just another one I use.
So WHY is it opening them in Firefox and not my default web browser Safari. How can I change this?
:l no Safari IS my default internet browser! I just can’t understand why website icons on my desktop are opening in Firefox when they should be opening in Safari. How can I change them to open the website in Safari?
Michelle answers:
Right click on the shortcut, then select Properties from the menu that pops up. Click on the Shortcut tab, if it isn’t already pointing to that one.
Look at the start of the “target” field. It will contain the path to your Safari browser, probably in quotation marks. Delete that path and enter the path to Firefox – which will probably be something like:
“C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe”
Click on OK to close the property box then try it out from the desktop.
You may also want to change the “Start in” path to point to the same one in which firefox resides.
