3. Just thought I'd jump in here

As I switched to firefox yesterday myself. And I am so pleased that I did. A problem I'm having though is that it doesn't load by itself when I log on. IE still starts even though Tools/Options says firefox is the default. Is there maybe another folder I need to go into and reset? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated by this new and ever so happy Mozilla gal. :bounce:

4. Might be in the Startup folder.

I'm not sure why IE would be included among the Startup programs, but you could check this:

From the Windows Start menu, select Programs|Startup.

If IE is among the programs in the Startup folder, right-click on it.

Select Delete from the resulting menu. Click Yes at the Deletion prompt.

Programs in the Startup folder are automatically started when you boot up the computer. I don't remember that IE is normally one of them, but it wouldn't surprise me if that's somehow managed to sneak in there.

Hope this helps! Firefox is truly excellent--check out the Extensions some time! AdBlock is wonderful--haven't seen a Vonage ad in weeks. :toast:
