Clive, I've used Firefox for some years now, and I'm sure you'll find it pretty easy to adapt to it. Many of the keystrokes are the same, and the menus contain pretty much what you'd expect from the menu names.
Favorites are called Bookmarks, and the Bookmarks menu is one of my least favourite features, and seems unnecessarily complicated. Still, it doesn't stop you using your old favorites on the start menu.
There are plenty of free add-ons, which means you can pretty well build your own version of Firefox as you go along. Included are some accessibility add-ons, but not knowing what your accessibility requirements are, I can't say whether you'll find them useful or not.
Sometimes when Firefox gets an update, it puts some of your add-ons out of business, and it can be a long while in some cases before they all catch up.
A very useful add-on is WebVisum, which, amongst other things, can solve those visual CAPTCHAs that give us all so much grief normally. This is only available for Firefox.
Some first thoughts, at least. Vince.----- Original Message ----- From: "Clive Pallett" <clive.pallett@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
