Firefox is easy to install and works far better than IE. You do need to keep IE available because there are a few (very few) sites that specifically look for IE before allowing downloads.
​
You can get Firefox here

Yes it will bring along bookmarks.
​
Windows updates are simply for windows and IE.
​
Firefox has had a few security updates but not anywhere like IE.

Re: Just installed Firefox
In the upper left you should see Mozilla Firebird Help.
​
In addition you can go into Tools ----> Options ----> Software Updates and check the boxes to get it to check for updates regularly.

Nope. But then neither does MicroSoft. They announced over a year ago that they were dropping support for Outlook Express. No more security updates, no new versions.
​
You can still use Outlook Express and Firefox will inteface with most any mail program you use including those from M$.

Re: Firefox lock ups
Go into the config mode (about:config). In the filter type the word 'down'.
​
Check the settings and see if the default directory might be set to A: or if the A drive is listed.
​
Next filter for 'sav' and see if you have set things to automatically save to disk without asking.

Re: ddl file
Look for dll, not ddl.
​
I'd start with putting it in system32.

Avant is nice. I keep IE, Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, Maxthon, Avant and Opera on my desktop to use in testing web pages. Of those, I would say Avant is probably my second choice.
