The switch - from IE to firefox
3:47 PM EDT 5/16/05
Has anyone seen or created a handout re: switching from IE to Firefox? I know there's one that is built-in as part of the Firefox page, but I was hoping someone might have made something that's geared at library patrons using public access machines.

Thank you!

Great idea Brenda - I have not seen anything like that around here.

Perhaps the info here could be re-jiggered for patrons?

Thanks for that article link, Chrystie! I posted about it on our blog (http://blog.nekls.org). Good stuff emoticon

I was doing some surfing today - and I found a couple of sites which might help beef up a handout-

<a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/switch">http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/switch</a>
This lists some commonly used "terms" in IE and what they are called in Firefox.

I also noticed in Help for Firefox, there is a topic called "For Internet Explorer users" so that might be useful as well.

Of course there is the ubiquitous "Switch2Firefox" website: <a href="http://www.switch2firefox.com/">http://www.switch2firefox.com/</a>
A funny name - but possibly useful: to make Firefox seem more like IE: <a href="http://firefoxie.net/">http://firefoxie.net/</a>
This site has a tutorial about downloading: <a href="http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial79.html"> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial79.html</a>

There is probably a lot of other stuff out there - I would probably include information about the recent hack attacks on Firefox though - so people don't assume it's totally risk free!

Just my 5cents
