Just to add that "favourites" in IE are called "bookmarks" and the keystroke is alt +b in FF.
You'll also need someone to send you an invite to enable you to complete your registration for Webvisum. I'll try now to see if I can do this for you.

Hi Catherine, Get yourself the latest version of Firefox by going to http://www.mozilla.com/Install it first. Most keystrokes are the same. CTRL+L opens a new web page. I personally find that Firefox doesn't space out the page in the same way as IE and I don't like it for this reason, but basically it's pretty useable first time around because you know IE.Do not bother to look on the Mozilla site for the Webvisum plug-in. (It's not there ...) Go tohttp://www.webvisum.com/As long as you're using Firefox at the time, I'm pretty sure the plug-in is automatically installed.When you come to sites with captchas (note the spelling), you hit CTRL+ALT+6 and evfentually you'll be told the Captcha is on your clipboard for pasting. NOTE: It doesn't always work the first time around and sometimes produces incorrect results ... so you do have to try and try again to sign up to these various sites. (I tried for ages before I made it onto Facebook.) I had to sign up on the Webvisum list to discover this and, quite honestly, it was all a bit of a "bore" to do all these steps, so I hope I save you some hassle.I think I've given all I can but come back if you need to.On Saturday, April 25, 2009 3:35 PM (UK time), Catherine Turner at catherineturner2007@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx said:Hi, I'm thinking of getting Firefox and trying the web vism thing - as I understand it this can solve some captchas. I wondered if anyone here uses firefox and if there's anything I need to know before I instal it? Is there anything I need to do to make it more accessible? And then where can I find out more about web vism?
