Internet Explorer vs. Mozilla Firefox
How do I set IE to be my default browser? I accidentally set Mozilla to be the default when it prompted me to. I use Firefox but I want IE to be the default.

I would like to ask why oh WHY would you rather use IE over FireFox?? I mean, if you enjoy your system getting all loaded up with spyware and pop-ups and other crap, then sure, go ahead and use IE, but don't you ever EEVVVVVVEEERRRR ask how to get rid of it.

LOL

This guy lives up to his name. Yeah, he's right though. Why use a browser full of holes and weak spots, when you can use one of the best browsers around?

The worst part about Firefox is now that it is becoming excepted as the best "all around" browser, there are people going to it to find exploits just like they did with IE. Other then that it's probably the best browser you can get now.

But if you really want to set IE as default, it's quite simple.

Open IE and go to Tools > Internet Options > "Programs" tab > Check "IE should check to see whether it is the default browser" option. > Restart IE

If that was in reference to my post, I agree with you. I was just saying that it sucks that people are trying to find flaws in Firefox now. I would say it is the best browser now, personally.

Actually I'm running Safari on OS X, so I with my Mac alone I don't have to worry about bad things happening to my computer, but as far as PCs go I really like Firefox not just because of the extra security it adds to your system, but also because of the nice plug-ins for it.
