Do I need to reinstall any software to use Firefox? You may have installed plug-ins (like Flash or Adobe Reader) in the past to view some sites (like YouTube or pdf documents) with your current browser. You’ll need to reinstall those on Firefox, but they’re free and only take a few seconds to download.

Is it hard to use Firefox? Will I have to spend time learning how to use the Firefox software? Firefox prides itself on making the browsing experience as easy to use as possible. That means, for the most part, you just point and click. Now if that is a problem for you, maybe you should consider an abacus instead of a computer. Additionally the Firefox support site also has a more complete set of instructions, plus educational and training videos if you’d like more detail.

Will the favorites I currently have bookmarked and other browser settings be transferred to Firefox? Yes. To make the upgrade to Firefox as easy as possible, you can import your favorite sites (bookmarks), history, saved passwords and other settings during the installation process. Or, if you are not sure at the time you install Firefox, you can decide to take care of that later with detailed instructions to walk you through the simple steps.

Will my favorite sites and my current web mail work with Firefox? All the sites you visit (even the ones you don't want your spouse or employer to know about) are independent of the browser you choose to use. So, Firefox will work great and be safer and faster for you. As an example, you don't need to use AOL to access your AOL email and you don't need Internet Explorer to use Microsoft’s Hotmail; you can use Firefox for any and all sites.
