A few of weeks ago, I upgraded to Internet Explorer 7. I really liked some of the features such as the tabs. Then the big security problem arose and I got concerned.
As a result, I switched from IE7 to Firefox. I like it. It works well and may be a little faster. It’s not remarkably different from IE but I like most of the differences. Spell check is easier to use and I like the way it handles Bookmarks and auto fills internet addresses.
I have saved a list of desirable add-ons from an earlier thread and will start working on those soon, perhaps after vacation.
I do have a couple of issues and I’m hoping someone can offer a solution. It’s minor stuff.
First, I had set my computer to have the cursor jump to the default option when a window came up. That is, when you choose a function and have to click on OK to select it, my cursor jumps to the OK button so I don’t have to move it there myself. With the installation of FF, that function doesn’t work anymore.
Second is the scroll up/down arrows. I had them set to jump 3 or 4 lines at a time. With the installation of FF, it moves one line at a time.
I went to the appropriate menu and the options showed the settings I wanted but the system doesn’t respond that way. So I reset the two options to the settings I wanted and rebooted. That didn’t work.
Any thoughts?
