well a freind of mine put it on the other day and it keeps coming up with an activex error ?but firefox doesn't have activex its like IE is still running

The unfortunate fact is that you CANNOT get rid of IE. If you try uninstalling, all it does is take out the shortcuts on the desktop and in the start menu.

oh ok is there any other reason this would be happening

 

[Tyler1989]

Firefox doesn't have the rights to use activeX only Microsoft does so don't worry just install firefox it's easy and will be the best thing you ever did to improve your browsing.

I can vouch for that, its good to have a cleaner cookies folder for once.

I like all the plug ins you can use for it. But the added security is also nice.

Unfornatuly you still need IE. Since Windows Update only works in IE you have to keep it on your ocmputer. Plus not all web site can be viewed in FireFox. So i would do as Tyler sugests and install but get the plug ins and extensions that you need. That way you can enjoy the web with FireFox but still go everywhere that you need to.

what plug-ins exactly are you talking about I havr read about the plug-ins but am not to sure which one i really need
