This is Sandi (not Christy!) but I just switched from Firefox as my default back to Internet Explorer. I liked Fire fox but Roboform will no longer work on Firefox but it does on IE. Also Firefox is still soooo slow coming up. Now when I do open Firefox it tell me it is not my default browser and do I want to change that. I am trying to remember how I switched to IE and I think I opened IE, clicked on internet options and programs to find the place to set it as my default. Be brave. You can always change back! I sure understand about being timid and fearful with these darned contraptions. There are several things I just could never work up the courage to do. When I could get "hand holding" from GMan readily, I could do anything!! I, too, am a senior citizen and I think we do pretty good to even tackle some of these things with computers. I felt very "hip" when I first mastered e-mail and now I am left behind again with all the kids doing texting!
