Default Why Firefox?

Hi Kitty,
Because Firefox is a much more stable browser than IE. Just install it and choose it as your default browser, Then you can go look at the hundreds of cool extensions/addons that have been made for it and that can make your job as an internet marketer so much easier. Look at the blog there is a list that Ed and Dan recommend
Hope that helps
Regards

Thanks. I have done. I am going to miss tabbed browsing tho. So nice just clicking on the tab to change window - instead of waiting for a new browser window to open. Aaaaand, when I opened IE all four of my frequently visited sites opened up.

Aaah, quitcher whinin
Okay

Tabbed browsing is indeed part of Firefox. Just press Ctrl+T or select File > New Tab. And if you add the Session Manager add-on as Ed suggested, you can open a bunch of tabs such as your four most frequently visited sites, save it as a session, and then have it open with all those tabs whenever you want. You can also save multiple sessions.

Firefox has more flexibility than IE, and is a lot friendlier to use. You don't have to give up any of your favorite IE functionality, only the frustrations. :-)

I think once you start working with it, you'll like it.

, I started using Firefox and was thrilled when a new tab opened when I clicked on a link.

Kitty, Firefox is possibly the best browser, both on Windows and the Mac. I would imagine that once you start using it you wont want to use anything else...

Hey Kitty,

I have experience on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Firefox is the only real standard anymore when it comes to browsers.

I use Flock, Opera, and Konqueror as alternatives, but I always end up coming back to Firefox. It's just the most versatile browser.

Firefox = Best all-around browser
Opera = Fastest browser (Konq. is fast too)
IE = for the ignorant (sorry IE users)



You'll grow to love it quickly!

Hey Kitty,

I've been using Firefox for a while now. If you're not quite used to it yet, just keep using it and download the plug-ins that Ed suggested. You'll soon come to love it

If it wasn't for the fact that you have to have IE as part of Windows I would have gotten rid of it a long time ago!

Thanks

Hi writerscramp,

Try not to jump from video to video, Ed had done them in order, so that you get what you need, skipping videos could get you totally confused

I suggest you go to the start of the blog, the bottom of this page, http://www.thirtydaychallenge.com/blog/page/2/ , and check that you have listened to all of them, by moving up the page by date, and doing the same on the second page.

Remember to do everything that Ed mentions BEFORE moving on to the next one.

Regards,
Eoin
