News release:
How to quit using Internet Explorer and start using Mozilla Firefox?
It's on the news that every month, Firefox is gaining more percentage. We are talking about the whole globe. And small .1 percent is equal to tens of millions of people. There are so many benefits for people to use Firefox to surf the Internet and here is a list of all of them.
Security:
Firfox doesn't have so many security problems that Internet Explorer have.
Function:
Firefox has built in popup blocker and all the functions that Internet Explorer have.
Firefox has built in search engine that is customizable which Internet Explorer can only search with Microsoft's own search engine.
Firefox has this innovative tab browsing allow you to surf several website at once.
Privacy:
Firefox is an open source software which guarantee your privacy. Unlike Internet Explorer, a lot of its function is link to Microsoft's own website and features.
However, you and I are animals of habit. We get used to Internet Explorer for a while. And now when we try to use something new, we just can't get used to it.
I personally have this problem in the beginning when I start using Firefox, I found the icon look unfamiliar and everything work the same but a little bit different. For a while, I can't get used to Firefox and just went back to Internet Explorer.
I have to really force myself to think about all the benefits that I can get from Firefox and really push myself to get used to the interface in Firefox.
Once again, I'm an animal of habit. Once I get used to how Firefox work. Now, I don't use Internet Explorer anymore. I don't want to go back as well because of it's strong feature.
I especially like the tab surfing. I use it to monitor several e-mail accounts and I have them open at all time. Also when I do the research on the Internet, I can open up many results at once and surf many website at once. Also the built in search feature that I can switch engine easily without having to retype all the keywords or copy and paste. That is a big bonus.
So I declare I am a happy user of Firefox.
I still use Internet Explorer, to test website that I built. Or to access some site that Firefox won't work.
Unfortunately, a few websites you will need Internet Explorer to work such as bank, school that uses Active X technology.
With computer technology, it's better to be safe than sorry.
There will be another big attack on Internet Explorer for certain in the future. If you don't switch to Firefox and depend on Internet Explorer, you might be the next victim.
If you have not used or download Firefox, you got to do it now. Go to www.GetFireFox.com

""For the last weeks I was having ongoing problems with my computer, I wasn't sure if it was caused by viruses, software or hardware problems. I contacted Ian and he was able to come to look into my computer in the same day. He explored all options to fix the computer and after some hours of work the computer was back to normal and everything was working fine. Ian is a very professional individual who was able to solve my computer problems the same day I contacted him. I highly recommend him to others who may be in the same situation."
