I've only ever used IE.
I would like to try out Firefox but how easy is it to change over?
And if I have any problems is it easy enough to go back to IE?

Can anybody give me any step by step instructions as how to change browsers please?

:rolleyes:

And of course there are options to import favorites, etc, so you don't lost anything.

If you don't like Firefox, just run IE instead.

Sorry for the questions but I have to make sure I don't mess it up.

No it won't. It's just a seperate browser that's all. It doesn't affect IE at all. When you first load up Firefox though you will be asked if you want to make it your default browser, make sure you click 'No' as you might not be able to change it.

To use IE again just click on the IE logo on your desktop.

But when they first try it out they won't know if they like it or not.

And if you wish to choose Firefox as your default browser instead and don't want Internet Explorer everywhere go into the Control Panel and Add/Remove Programs, then Add/Remove Windows Components on the side menu and tick the IE box :)

Yes, there is an option when you load it up the very first time to transfer bookmarks etc.
