Get Firefox, now is the time!

Firefox is a superior web browser designed to browse
the
Internet faster and safer

Now Google has teamed up with FireFox to offer the
Google
search tool included with the Firefox web browser

It’s fast and easy to download. Just click on the
button in the upper rite corner of this page to get started:

I’ve used FireFox for a couple of years now and I’m very happy
with it.
Ive noticed that it doesn’t crash as much as Internet
Explorer did and I surf the web much faster. A feature I really
like about FireFox is how easy it is to customize your browser and add cool new features.

After You’ve Downloaded FireFox: Get it on this page (my Firefox blog) in the top rite corner.

  • There are literally hundreds of extensions available.
    You
    can get them by clicking this link
  • You can also customize how your browser looks and
    acts with
    Themes. Themes are sometimes known as browser “skins”. You can get them
    by clicking this browser theme link.
  • You can also get all the common Plug ins like
  • Flash,
    Adobe Acrobat,
  • Apple QuickTime by clicking this link to Browser Plugins.
  • Here is a link to a basic tutorial on how to use
    FireFox.
    It is at WikiBooks.com and you can get it by clicking this FireFox
    tutorial link

"The Free Kind of Downloads"!

When I first got online I fell in love with down loading! "The Free
Kind of Downloads"!
I must have down loaded and installed hundreds of programs. I have
weeded out the flops, scams, spy ware and just plain old crap! Most of
the time it is just trial and error. A person has to go through quite a
bit of installing and just playing with the programs to see how you
like them. There are allot of really good programs out there for free!
Here are a few of the free programs that I really like. I keep a web
page of free down loads here. thegate101.com/geek
Thats here.
