How Firefox Works - for newbies (especially current IE users) :P

serverph
a very good read on the browser many have come to love (sorry, it's FIREFOX, not IE. tongue.gif):
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/firefox.htm/printable

this explains, in easy-to-read-even-a-seven-year-old-can-understand way, the merits of firefox over bill gates' browser. take a look at some of the best features and extensions that exist today (do you know foxytunes!!!??? get it!!! tongue.gif how about firesomething? [just some running joke about firefox which you'll learn later. download firesomething extension here tongue.gif] ). of course, a little bit of history (why "firefox"?). and most importantly, security. smile.gif

if you're reading this in IE, better read the article above. and join the league of firefoxers! biggrin.gif

    Ok, for about 2-3 weeks now firefox has been crapping out on me. First, in early december my
    extensions menu stopped working. That is, whenever I went Tools>Extensions, my cursor went to the
    arrow and the hourglass for about 5 second then stopped, and nothing else happened. The Themes menu
    works fine, and continues to, but most of the time changes to the theme won't appear or will
    appear sometime later, usually 2 hours later. Now, WeatherFox has stopped working. A message to
    reconfigure it has been appearing every time I boot up Firefox, and is getting quite ann....
