Installing Firefox
Comments (17)this is one of the pay for programs that will move all of your AOL stuff for you, I think there are some free ones out there too, I had found some a while back and posted on here but I have no idea what they were now, old brain does not keep up with that stuff! ePreserver Also found this info on another forum: "Use the AOL Intellisync program (free download on AOL) to sync to Outlook or Outlook Express. Then you can easily import that file to another email service. I did it with Yahoo. If you search sync (or Intellisync)on AOL you get complete directions." and these on how to get your favorites while using firefox or Ie. 1. Login to AOL from a regular (ie, firefox, safari) at http://www.aol.com. 2. Go to "my aol", usually in the top left corner 3. When prompted to "Import AOL Class Favorite Places", say "yes". this imports your AOL favorites. 4. At the bottom of the menu, there's an "export" function which will export to bookmarks.html.** 5. Import the file into your favorite browser and clean-up all the AOL specific stuff that you don't want to keep. **you can save the bookmarks.html file to your desktop then from firefox click on the bookmarks button then organize bookmarks then on that click on file at the top then on import, you browse to that file you saved bookmarks.html and select it for import. here are a few google searches that might be helpful too.

Comments (12)tig, the same thing I think was happening to me there for a while. I was having a whole lot of problems at the time though...no updated antivirus working 'all' of the time, no firewall, just lacking a lot of good protection and no way to stay on dial-up line long enough to get anything downloaded and working. I eventually got high speed, and protection and things ended up working themselves out. I like you had many pages open at once, and it would shut down...usually giving me a seconds counter counting down b4 it happened. I would just log off, well actually I usually had to press and hold the button on the tower to get away from things. Once I would turn it back on, and log on, it would ask me if I wanted to restore session, to which I replied 'yes' and all the tabs I had open previously would reopen...in time. ok, i know no one sympathizes with me on dialup but that's my life! Oh, but I can empathize...been there...done that...wanted to pull hair out and scream! There was just no other option available for an ISP at the time...so I do understand. " Are you actually reopening the browser for each site, rather than putting them on tabs? It will be quicker just opening a new tab. " Not sure what tabs means. I open a mozilla browser for 1 website and while reading there on that page I open 3 or 4 other websites. So as they load I read at the 1st then I read one of those others as I go to another site at the one I just read. follow that? Just how do you open another website? page? thread? Go to a favorite and right click on it and choose "Open in new window or open in new tab? Go to a forum, and see a message you are interested in reading and then right click on it and choose "Open in new window or open in new tab? Go to file (upper left corner) and left it to click on open new 'window' or open new tab? And then click on a favorite to open in that tab? When you have lots of pages open, does the brief header appear above or below the page you are looking at? If they are 'above' they are tabs. If they are below, they are windows. You can open several tabs in each window. Have I made any sense whatsoever? Sue...who sometimes has 5, 10, or20 'tabs' open or opening at once....See MoreOpera Browser
Comments (19)Posted by grandms (My Page) on Fri, Sep 4, 09 at 15:35 Boo, hiss!! I just went to my bank site and got a message that as of Oct. 1, I must use either IE or FF, that my current browser (Opera) will no longer be supported! If it weren't such a hassle, I'd change banks! That's how much I like Opera. Pronunciation? I go with Ah'per-ah. Hi, grandms Well, no browser's perfect. "eye roll> One thing you can try is to go to a site that doesn't recognize/like Opera and right-click, then click "edit site preferences." Go to Network and at the bottom you'll see a drop-down menu with four options (identify as FF or as IE; mask as FF or IE). Choosing 'mask' is the 'stronger' function, though it doesn't always work. Try closing the page (or even the browser entirely) and then go back to the site and see if it works. (Others at the Opera forums have complained about banking sites not wanting to play nice with Opera. You may want to check out those threads.) Another option is, when you're at a site (like your banking site's homepage), right-click and go down to 'open with' and it will give you the option to open that site's page in IE or FF. IOW, you won't have to open FF and then navigate to your bank's page. Opera will do that part for you. Re: pronunciation: AH-per-ah is a browser and a musical event.

Comments (10)Importing Into Opera "Importing into Opera. Opera includes a utility to insert bookmarks from any browser, as well as an IE-specific function that allows you to import IE Favorites directly into Opera. To follow its steps, right-click the top-most bookmark folder in the Hot List window and either click File, Insert File to import Navigator Bookmarks or click File, Insert Internet Explorer Favorites to import your IE Favorites." debby_ab after thinking about some of your other posts I do recall when I first got my Vista unit I had some shutdown issues while using Opera. I'm a diehard fan of Opera so I wasn't about to give it up. I got an updated version of Opera, same, but then I got about 50mb of Windows patches and it's been smooth sailing ever since. I'd suggest you try it again. I'll bet the Windows patches will take care of your issue if you've patched your system. My browser stays open continually and haven't had an issue, well, at least not with Opera! Also be sure you're virus and malware free. That can impact a lot of things. And of course a regular chkdsk and defrag....See More- 4 years ago
