Mozilla has gained a massive following due in part to its increased security relative to Internet Explorer. This is because fewer virus writers/hackers etc target it because it accounts for a much smaller user base - exactly the same reason for fewer hackers targeting Apple Macs as opposed to PCs. Personally I like it because it can be run from a USB memory stick which means I carry my favourites (and surfing history) around with me.

Once you have used Firefox for a while you wont want to go back to IE, trust me. You can't delete IE as it is fundamental to a few other MS programs. so it doesn't need re-installing if you try firefox. Set up both on your desktop and compare the two.

Sorry Peter, I ment I deleted the Mozilla Firefox and went back to Internet Explorer. Betty

Hi Everyone, Sorry was on another website for a while anyway, I just wanted to download RealPlayer and this kind on came with it. I prefer my Internet Explorer than this so have had to delete it and download internet explorer again. Betty

Hi, Yes, it is good and far more secure than IE. Unfortunately, there are a few sites which will only allow a search if you are connected with IE. Bernie

I didn't know, either. It seems it is a well-rated alternative to Microsoft's Internet Explorer see news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/technology/3993959

It is an internet browser. You use it instead of Internet Explorer. I use it all the time and find it more stable and easier to use than IE as well.

Hi, Mozilla fire fox is a free web browser formerly known as phoenix.I use it all the time and have had no probems.

I wanted to download RealPlayer and also ended up with this Mozilla Firefox but I don't know what it is. Betty
