I skimmed through the article. Where did you get Firefox? How much did it cost? I'm about sick of Windows.

Well, just do a google search for FireFox and download it from their website. The program imports all your bookmarks from IE. Sorry I did not give you a URL.

I installed Firefox two weeks ago and have never used IE since. I no longer worry about the security problems and most especially the hated pop-ups that frequently occured with IE. Also the abominable hijacking and re-routing of websites have now stopped.

The nice thing about Firefox is you can use it just like IE, no programing knowledge required. But much safer and with some nice features like the tabbed pages.

Go to http://www.spreadfirefox.com/ and click on the "Get Firefox" button.

FireFox is a browser

Windows is an operating system

I understand how silly headlines can confuse people.

Get FireFox at http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

FireFox is currently less vulnerable because it does less (that is pretty much how the model works - expanded functionality means expanded vulnerability and less options means less vulnerability - this is not rocket science). Home users - by all means switch to FireFox.

Mozilla.org. Price is right too. Free. The browser kicks IE's butt, and is 1/4 the size at a mere 4.5 MB. The last patch I downloaded for IE was 11 MB.
