Uhhh - that is not true at all. Firefox is simple to use, and does not mess up any settings at all. I have IE and it still works the same as it did before I installed and began using Firefox. Also, my (60++ year old) mother installed it and loves the multiple tabs. She imported all her bookmarks from IE. And, she is not very computer "savvy" at all.
Sweet....thanks so much.....I saw your reply earlier and have already cleaned up half of my desktop using new folders...I appreciate it!! And thanks as well to everyone who replied with all the other good ideas and suggestions... I do use only IE..but I think I will check out that Firefox....Happy Independence Day to all of you and thanks again!
