How do we use it? Do we just click and go? Do we have to download something?
Thanks for any added info.

You can download Firefox at this site:

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

Firefox basically works just like other browsers, though it has its own features.

The site at the above URL will give you an overview of Firefox.

How have you guys gotten Firefox 2.0 RC3 to work? I dl'ed and installed it and had nothing but problems. No working back or forward buttons, middle click to close windows was broken, lost my old bookmarks and couldn't save any new ones....it was a real disaster. I unstalled it after about 10 min and went back to 1.5.0.7.

Downloaded (and am currently using) 2.0 RC3 on FC2 linux - works like a charm - seems snappier and more polished.

Have you looked at Seamonkey,....the new name for the Mozilla browser?

Yes I know about it. It seems like it has mostly only been a continuation with security updates so far. I have not tried it yet. I have been waiting for them to do more with it.

Thanks
