I thought your article was
I thought your article was great except you did not mention anything about those who do not use ie 6 or 7. I use firefox because downloading ie 7 caused so many problems that microsoft put me on firefox (which I had started using) in safe mode as I cannot use either ie 6 or 7. The staff were really helpful but no luck.Are you able to tell me how to spiff up XP with firefox in safe mode or no can do.
Yours sincerely, pauline russell
