My Internet Explorer was really buggy, and after messing around with it for awhile (reinstalling .dll files, reinstalling IE, etc.) I decided I might as well just switch to Firefox.

Is there anything I need to know/do now that I'm using Firefox?

Also, I use Outlook Express as means of checking my e-mail. Is it compatible with Firefox?

Firefox is much easier imo, which IE did you switch from? I never used the tabbed version, so it may not be too different. But I know when I did switch, I got less pop-ups and I loved tabs.

I switched from IE 6 (no tabs).

So far I think I like Firefox (seems more convenient). Although, some pages are loading up weird (my MySpace is loading up huge, for some reason. Everything is spaced out).

That happens on certain people's pages with mine too. I guess it's just firefox.

There's a plug-in that installs a little button on your status bar thing that can switch between IE and FF, so you can see what a page looks like with IE if it's a little buggy in FF. It opens up as a tab in FF as well. Search through all the plug-ins, just makes FF a lot better when you find one that does exactly what you want. Adblocks a must.

And what do you mean is it compatible with Outlook Express? What do you want it to do. If you go to Tools>Read Mail, it opens up OE, so..?
