Firefox questions & more

Am thinking of making the switch over to Firefox from IE. Any special tips for the switchover or setup of Firefox? Will MSN Messenger 6.2 work with Firefox? Also am currently using Outlook Express for my mail program - is there a better, more secure alternative to it to run with FF?

I've been using FireFox for about 6 months and I don't remember having to do anything special to install or use it. I don't know if you'll have any issues with MSN Messager though since I don't use it...but since IE will still be on your computer you may not have any problems.

If you want to use the email client along with FireFox, you might want to look at the Mozilla Suite.

Other email clients to consider are Eudora and Pegasus.

Thanks

Installed Firefox this morning and so far I really like it. I'm going to give Mozillas ThunderBird a try as a alternative to OE.

Thunderbird is a great program too. I haven't had any problems with Firefox or Thunderbird yet.
