What's a good one to use? The pop ups seem to be getting worse. I've ran scans through Microsoft, Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy...all found no problems or threats, so I guess that's good.

popup blocking is fairly complete with firefox. You'll never have a luther PM pop up again, unless you add him to the OK list.

Yeah, I love Firefox, it is so much better than IE. Does anyone use their mail client Thunderbird?

I can't access "favorites" as easily in Firefox as I can in IE. Is there a way to configure it to make it easier?

You should bookmark your favourites.
Bookmarks--->Bookmark this page--->Add
If you you go to "manage bookmarks", you can create subfolders of bookmarked favourites, like if you wanted them in categories.

CTRL-B, or the "bookmark" button at top...just like with IE.

What email client did you hook up with it? I ask only because I use the traditionals (yahoo,hotmail) and couldn't get them hooked up. Do I need a premium acct or whatever?

You can use T-Bird to connect up with webmail services like yahoo, hotmail, and gmail...but I'm not sure why I'd do that.
If you have a company email account, I'd use it in that situation.
I have several "official" accounts that I need to check. I have them all configured to be checked by T-Bird. I also forward a copy of everything I get in all accounts to a gmail account.

Why do you do this, just for record keeping?

Thanks. It has been working great. I've known of Firefox, but never really had a reason to switch browsers until recently.
