which web browser

which firefox version is it what you use welsh please as i have norton internet security 2007 so do u reckon ill be ok thanx so much

[Sam Slater]

Firefox & Opera are two great browsers.

I've used Firefox since it's first year (didn't bother with Mozilla), and had no problems security wise. The latest Firefox won't give you any worries whatsoever, and if certain websites don't display properly (Less than 2% i'd guess) then use IE7.

I'm using Opera, and have been for about a month now. Only because I wanted to become more familiar with it.

Firefox owns IE7 and has tons of skins, plugins and applications you can add on.

Seriously; ditch IE.

got opera but how do i make the fonts larger thanx

[Welshman]

I'm using what I think is the latest version of Firefox (2.0.0.6) and it's fine.

[Sam Slater]

Yeah, that's it. You still have IE7 as backup, so you've no worries. I can almost guarantee you won't go back to IE if you give it a month or so.

[Sam Slater]

[shift] + [+] for larger font. It's more like a zoom though as graphics are also larger. Just [-] to get it back down.

View>zoom also works.

hi just went to bgafd using firefox and went to sign in user name password etc and a warning came up saying the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by third party are you sure you want to sendand under that a box with a tick in it saying alert me whenever i submit info thats not encrypted
continue or cancel
so i did nothing and came here using ie7 to send this to you any idea thanx

[Sam Slater]

Yeah, it's nothing. It's just telling you bgafd isn't a secure, encrypted site. It's mainly to warn you for times when you're sending credit card details and the like to 'dodgy' sites. Since you're only sending a username and password, it's fine.
