Mozilla Firefox

[Lolly]

I've had to change to Firefox from IE. I'm not overly keen at the moment, but this is because I was so used to IE. I do need some help though with certain things. So I just have a few questions:

1) How do you set a Homepage?
2) In IE you have tabs (where you can have a few pages open at the same time) can you do this on Firefox?
3) Does it have a Favorites option?
4) Can you put Google Toolbar on it?

These are the things I was used to on IE so would like to have them back as I cannot use IE anymore. Thanks.

1) How do you set a Homepage?

Go to Tools, options, main tab, set up you homepage in the box on there.

2) In IE you have tabs (where you can have a few pages open at the same time) can you do this on Firefox?

Yes, Ctrl T keys pressed together give you tabs

3) Does it have a Favorites option?

Yes, it's called Bookmarks (on top line).

4) Can you put Google Toolbar on it?

Yes, get it from google.

You might also want to try Opera from Opera browser: Home page

All browsers have their own quirks, its about finding teh one that fits how your brain works. I use Opera on Linux at home and Windows at work. It has lots of neat trick and treats and seems to fit my brain.
