Also, be careful what you're clicking Yes to while downloading. For instance, we have our own preference for malware/virus programs and always uncheck whatever the browser says it's going to add.

Good luck! I love Firefox. it's not a memory hog, runs well, won't take over your computer.
Do not trust Cnet anymore. Google it.

Thanx to all of the FireFox fans for your comments! They boost my confidence in being able to convert! ;)

rexxfan - one of our gurus [now departed] intro'd me to ninite and it has yet to fail me. If this conversion screws up am guessing I can uninstall and follow your advice. I love that ninite goes with the basics and no frufru! :)
I use ninite myself, just not for the browser. Ninite is great for the raft of miscellaneous utilities I run from all sorts of small publishers, many of whom outsource their downloads to aggregation sites like download.com, which should be avoided like the plague. But when it comes to major publishers like Google or Mozilla who host their own downloads, I trust the source.

I wonder how many minutes I wasted listening to this?



We were very patient. Weren't we?

Why not just go to mozilla and download ff from there?

That is what I do. CNET and Download.com have given me problems - add-ons, sales, malware. I feel safer going to the source site to get my downloads these days.

Hi, Not sure what's wrong with my win 7 Toshiba laptop, running IE 10.
should I upgrade my browser to IE 11, or one of the above mentioned browsers such as Firefox, or Chrome ?
I often get the message "TOTV is not responding due to a long running script" Is the fault of my Browser, or Comcast wifi speed, or some other gremlin? Thanks for any insights. Bill
