Now I’ve done it. I’ve been trying out Firefox<\/a>, which is a new Web Browser from Mozilla. It’s an open source creation, and if that doesn’t mean much to you, you might not be that interested in the rest of this post.<\/p>\n

For years, I’ve used Internet Explorer to surf the web, putting up with many of the weird things it does, and worrying about security issues<\/a>. Then I switched to a Mac and started using Safari, which I am very happy with. Safari is from Apple, and it’s a really nice application.<\/p>\n

But there’s been a lot of buzz<\/a> in the press about this new browser, so I thought I’d give it a try. One of the things that intrigued me was the ability to browse using tabbed pages. Safari also offers this, but for some reason I haven’t been able to figure out how it works. But in Firefox, it’s easy. And very effective. I find myself using Firefox almost exclusively now, although it’s only been a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

My biggest problem is that I had built up a big batch of saved bookmarks in Safari…and now I’m adding new ones in Firefox. I wonder if there’s a way to import or export one or the other? If anyone knows how I could bring my Safari bookmarks over to Firefox, I’d love to know. I’m still not sure whether I’ll switch to Firefox permanently, but I’m liking it so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
