Default Moving over to Firefox, how to............

Ever since I started using the net I have been using IE. I have been told FF is better, I actually know it is as I have sort of tried it out before but just couldn't get used to it.

Today is going to be the day when I, Mr. Deviltronics.com, will make a permanent move over to FF. So there is a few things I want to know......


1. How to move all your favourites over to FF from IE

2. Like the IE you get with Vista, how to have multiple tabs in one window

I have managed to configure FF so its same as IE, not identical but you soon het used to the slighbt differences in usability. You can set up all the same things though such as multiple tabs.

Before you do DT, if you have it - remove Norton.

I changed to Firefox and had no end of problems (what's new!), realised after about 16 hours of swearing at the computer, sorting the damn thing out and chatting to many people that Norton had certain issues with it.
I am ashamed to admit, I deleted Firefox and Norton and never had the courage to try again!

Good Luck!

I refuse to use Norton, slows your computer down. AVG free edition does the job.

Firefox invented tabs - so no worries there - ctrl+t or File > New Tab

In Firefox Bookmarks there is a simple tool to transfer favourites from IE - takes seconds

If you are interested in SEO for your site Firefox is the ONLY windows browser to use - period

OK. I have got it all, almost.

How do I get favourites to show up in the sidebar on mouseover?
