just got windows 7!

[mishdog]

just on setting up my new pc but not too great with things, just wondering if Firefox will work well with it, as when I google it I see allsorts about it crashing? I dont mind keeping IE on if its better/safer, just was used to FF on my laptop.

 

Also, can I transfer my favourites from my old laptop onto my new pc as I got loooads and would save a huge hassle?

 

I also have just set up Norton 360 v3.0 - slightly concerned that it has installed too many unnecessary services, anyone got any tips on how best to configure it? I got a quad core good spec but still just want to make doubly sure it isnt restricted at all!

 

any help is hugely appreciated! :D

Firefox works just fine on Windows 7. No problems at all.

 

Firefox Bookmarks: Bookmarks>Organize Bookmarks>Import and Backup

 

Internet Explorer Favorites: Press the Alt key if you don't see "file". File>Import and Export>Export to a file.

 

Do the same thing to import Bookmarks and Favorites onto the new computer.

 

I can't help you with Norton. I don't use it.

If you are looking for an alternative to Firefox, try Google Chrome - its quicker.

 

I prefer it, although I may be in a minority :)

cool thanks for the help.

 

Can anyone help my with another slight problem relating to norton360.. my cnew pc came with IE and when setting up norton I was using IE, but I have recently downloaded firefox. Things such as the norton tab which is supposed to appear above every web page and tell you how safe it is doesnt work now that I've switched to firefox, I assume because it thinks I only use IE. Cant find anywhere to change this?

I assume you're talking about the anti phishing toolbar.

 

Norton 360 is not a standard pre-loaded trial version on new computers as far as I know.

 

Do you have the latest version installed?

Have you run Liveupdate on it?

 

If so it should appear with the latest version and updates of Norton 360.
