OT: Spread Firefox

Ok, let's say I get Firefox or another similar program. How do I set it up so I can dial my server? When I set IE up, they talked me through it over the phone. Not sure if I can replicate that with a new program. How easy is it to access your server?

Since it was already set up for IE, it should just work for Firefox. The dialup settings are within Windows itself, so Firefox will look for connection preferences, see you have a dialup connection, and use that like normal. If it doesn't work like that, you still have IE, so you can post here with any problems, should there be any (I doubt there will be).

Ok, thanks for the info. I'll give it a try.

Hmmm... Just switched over from Mozilla to Firefox, since Mozilla.org seems to be pushing it a bit harder, and so far I like it. Only problem is, I got Thunderbird as an email client since it looked all nice and fancy, but it doesn't seem to be able to import my old emails & settings from Mozilla. What's that all about?

It should be able to fairly easily... It is pretty much the same program as the mail client in Mozilla, after all. Never used the mail client in Mozilla before, so can't really help you any...

I normally use Opera, this thread convinced me to give FireFox a try. Its great, really nice. Fast, Efficient, less cluttered looking than Opera.

The extension cabilities in FireFox are very nice. After a little searching I was able to find an extension that would allow me pick up where I left off when I Last closed FireFox, like I can in Opera. Without this ability I would be staying with Opera.

Opera needs some hand-made tweaks to provide maximum viewing area. And it has much more flexibility in interface customisation than _default_ FF setup.
