I can't remember exactly the procedure for installing the plain old
favorites since it has been so long since I did it. One way to check if it
installed is to see if it added the favorites menu to the menu bar. It is
right after the bookmarks menu. I always update the FF when a new version
comes out for security reasons and so far the plain old favorites continues
to work.
Firefox often gives a pop up that it prevented a page from redirecting you
to another page. I usually ignore these except on the Bard site. The FF
shortcut is Alt A for this as well but only when the pop up is there.
I am a real security freak so I have followed the directions on Kim
Komando's website and disabled the Adobe flash plug in on both browsers.
When I want to see a video I can click to allow the program to run. It is
amazing how many websites run flash just to do some little unnecessary flash
animations. On sites where I regularly watch videos I have clicked the
always allowed button for those sites.
This does cause the pop up asking to run flash flash to come up but I
usually just ignore it as well and it goes away or at least it doesn't bug
me again. This was recommended because flash gets so many vulnerabilities
that it is safer to only use it when necessary.

Hello:
How do I stop ff from stating/asking me to prevent from asking this
site to install yotta yotta? Sorry, I don't remember the exact message
that pops up each time, but I tried installing that plain oh favorites
from the link below; however, I keep getting that message. It says to
press alt a which Ive done but how would I know if it allowed it, or
if it even installed? Nothing happens after pressing alt a.
I'm using latest jfw and latest ff. thanks.

I, too, use both browsers although I keep Firefox as the default since it
is generally considered to be more secure than IE. If I have trouble with
a site then I switch to IE.
Ninite.com is the easiest way to install the program. I use it for all
the
installations I possibly can since it is so automatic and doesn't install
any extra junk.
One thing that makes it especially nice when switching back and forth
between the two browsers is the ability to use the regular Favorites menu
in Firefox. To do this you need to install the add on Plain Old
Favorites.
This is available from
http://www.iosart.com/firefox/plainoldfavorites/
Open the link in Firefox and install from there.
I never use the bookmarks in FF but always use the Favorites menu. The
only quirk I have found is that when adding a favorite from FF it works
best when choosing the Add favorite and then using alt tab twice to move
away from the window and then right back. Then just tab to the add button
as usual.
One other difference between IE and FF is that to open a private window
in
FF you find it in the file menu while in IE it is in the tools menu.

I am using W7, internet explorer and latest jaws. I know some on this
list
use Mozilla as a browser and I would appreciate info from you and
especially if you have used both mozilla and internet explorer. I have
been looking at mozilla and thinking of installing it on my old bedroom
computer which is an old computer but still a good one. Is this something
I can do myself and is this a large learning curve?I would appreciate your
thoughts, good or bad Where can mozilla be downloaded from?.
Thanks much,
