Firefox link is back
If you scroll down a bit, you’ll notice the brightly-colored Firefox logo to the right, just below the “Most recent entries.” Firefox is a free, next-generation web browser from the Open-Source people at the Mozilla Foundation. It is a well-designed, easy-to-use application and about as secure as can be expected for a web browser. (Internet Explorer is famous for NOT being secure.) Firefox also has some really cool productivity features (just click on the link to read about them) and I recommend it for everyone!

You won’t have to remove Internet Explorer to install Firefox – they get along well. (In fact, unless you’re a real expert, you can’t remove IE.) Besides, you’ll need IE for a few sites that absolutely require it, including Microsoft’s system update website. But for everything else, I recommend you use Firefox.
No browser is bulletproof, by the way. You still have to exercise good sense in your web browsing. But at least using a more advanced browser gives you a fighting chance against the bad guys. And it has some really handy features, too.
