Firefox is better than any other browser. IE has been playing catchup so long it will probably never gain its place back!! Wait until Firefox 3 comes out later this month – I’ve been doing a Beta on it and it’s EVEN BETTER. It remembers your most recent URLs and adds a lot of other cool features.

Is it just my imagination or is Firefox also faster? Oh wait, I’m seeing little red dots under a word I just misspelled. Firefox caught it, ohhh this is soooooooo cool. I’ve actually got goosebumps…it’s the little things, ya know! YAHOO.

Margaret, you must move installing Firefox up on your blogging to-do list. All hail to Jan and Brad. They really do know what they’re talking about )

Tricia, Tricia, Tricia! Nothing is going to crash – trust me! It’s a simple, step-by-step installation that will even permit you to migrate your existing IE bookmarks.

And all of those cool things, like tabbed browsing and remembering logins, that IE 7 does? Firefox will do them better, because it’s been doing them LONGER.

And because it’s open source, anyone can develop for it, so there are ALL SORTS of nifty plugins you can download for it, including skins that you can change seasonally if you want.

Take the leap and see if you don’t like it better. Then we’ll walk you through setting up Thunderbird as your email client. *wink*

It is surprisingly easy to change to Firefox. I did it all by myself a few weeks ago! So proud I was…

Change. You want me to change? Yikes. OK, I can handle this…she says as she gulps down the trepidation. I’ll add Firefox to my weekend to-do list and if anything crashes, I may need a Tech God rather than a Tech Warrior.

Amen to loathing IE. Tricia, you must follow the light. Download now. You won’t regret it. Or, if you do, I’m sure your tech warrior will regret it too.

Oh, a built-in spellchecker is just the beginning. You see, as a web designer, I have a deep-seated loathing for Internet Explorer.

Just download Firefox. And bask in the built-in spellchecker. And in simply being more secure.

Yeah. We’ll go into functionality later.

Repeat after me: All Hail Open Source Software.

I am such a rebel.

Firefox. Really! A built in spellchecker? I could fall in love. It may not help Margaret and I halt our typos, but at least it’ll curb the public humiliation I’m enduring for my craptacular spelling!
