Should I get Firefox?
I’m thinking about downloading Firefox, I have Internet Explorer, but now I want Firefox. The questions I have are, is it safe? (No viruses will come with it, right?) And what is so good about Firefox? What are your experiences with Firefox?
Nagesh answers:
No firefox does not come with virus or any other junk as long as you download it from the main source. Internet explorer is attached to just about every program on your computer making it a prime target for hackers. Firefox is simply a web browser and does not go into your system the same way IE does so its safer to use. I find firefox useful because you can download add-ons to make your web browser better; for example I have firefox and downloaded Adblock Plus, it blocks all ads on the internet its really cool.
Download firefox here
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
Firefox add-ons can be found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/recommended
If you don’t want to download firefox then at least download Opera. Its another type of Web browser and its safer to use than internet explorer.
Download Opera here
http://www.opera.com/
Download Opera widgets here (add-ons)
http://widgets.opera.com/
James asks…
IE or Firefox?
Do you prefer Internet Explorer 6-7 or Firefox 2?
Nagesh answers:
Firefox is much better at general surfing. Occasionally you will come across a web site that wont work, but you just switch back. Firefox is less susceptable to viruses and spyware. Another good solution is Opera. But Firefox is definitely best

how do i use firefox?
what is firefox and how do i use it?
Nagesh answers:
Firefox is a web browser, like Internet Explorer, AOL, or Netscape. It is superior to all three of these options because it is high performance and extremely customizable. To start, go to getfirefox.com and download firefox. At first most use it like any other web browser, but eventually you will build up a library of add-ons and customizations to make your Firefox unique.
Chris asks…
whats better Firefox or Internet?
What do you like better Firefox Or Internet?
Nagesh answers:
Firefox because it is safer, faster, and more customizable than internet explorer. Also with firefox you can have certain extensions that come in very handy. I believe firefox and internet are like facebook and myspace (firefox=facebook and internet=myspace) internet explorer used to be a power house until facebook came and got popular. Also, facebook brought up many good ideas and myspace tried to copy it (like with peoeples pictures)
hope this helps haha
Thomas asks…
Is firefox better than opera?
Is it better privacy with firefox? thanks
Nagesh answers:
Firefox also has private browsing mode, and Opera probably does too.
I think they’re both equal in terms of privacy. I don’t use Opera but I’m sure it lets you change settings the way FF lets you change things in about:config. Disable dom.storage, disable sendReferer. In the privacy settings don’t allow 3rd party cookies.
Both are compatible with the Ghostery add-on which blocks tracking scripts and a list of bad cookies. Both are also compatible with Adblock Plus which, in addition to the regular ad-blocking subscription, has a subscription “EasyPrivacy”.
Firefox has an add-on “GoogleSharing” which anonymizes your google searches (via proxy) so Google doesn’t know what IP they’re coming from.
If you really want privacy use a VPN or Tor. And use an email account at riseup.net.
