Need help, I just got new pc and am still having trouble surfing the net, will you guys lay down for awhile so I can fly around? :gun_bandana:

no really, I am using internet exp provided by yahoo. I need to know which browser you guys think is better or faster, and can I have a link? I have been working with it for all weekend and am now to tire to almost care. thanks for any help.

 
Chrome is another way Google intends to collect your data and sell it.

I also use Firefox. I like it a lot. You can add all kinds of plugins that apply to what you do on line. Very easy to enable/disable things.

 
Chrome is a browser developed and released by Google, similar to IE being produced by Microsoft. Firefox is a free web browser developed by Mozilla (a non-profit).

 
firefox is a good one and so is pale moon which is like firefox or even a india browser called epic and all three are on my pc besides internet explorer and like them all

 
So just go to their site and download one of them, then what happens to ie? I have been so involved with mantis these last few years, I am so out of touch.

I tried firefox a while ago and one day it just quit on me. :(

I don't know if I am missing out on anything but I don't have problems with IE.

 
Don't hassle with uninstalling IE. If Firefox is giving you issues, try IE on the same web site. If the problem persists with both browsers but other sites work fine, it's probably an issue with the site, not on your side of things.

I assume you're asking how to open the same website in both Internet Explorer (IE) and Firefox. I hope the below steps make sense and helps (and that the step-by-step instructions are not offensive!):

1) Click the Windows "Start" button in the lower left corner of the screen.

2) if you're comfortable navigating browsing through the start menu, you can use that to access your installed programs, including IE and/or Firefox. Alternatively, here's another method: at the bottom left of the start menu, notice an empty text box that says "Search programs and files"?

You can type things into that text box to quickly access things (files, program names, etc.) For example, typing "Internet" will display "internet explorer" as a program option in the listing. Similarly, if you type "Firefox" and click the "Mozilla Firefox" icon you will launch Firefox.

3) Once you have both programs running, you should see their icons at the bottom of your screen (that area is called the taskbar). You can then enter web addresses into either web browser to see how the page responds. Here's how the address bar looks if you visit the main Wikipedia page in Firefox.

Some pages do work better with one browser over another (browser compatibility is one of the constant challenges of web development.)
