Do Firefox and ie conflict in the same desktop?

You may keep both browsers without any conflicts. Many who prefer Firefox will seldom use IE but keep IE available within the Control Panel for the oft necessary MS Updates, Patches and Hotfixes. MS makes these available only through IE (Surprised?). Yes, I have Firefox 2, Fiefox 3, Internet Explorer 7, Safari, DINT, Opera, OperaUSB and a few others... The only reason I don't delete IE is because I'm not an Admin.

Where is the Back button in Firefox 3?

To get back the missing back button (don't know why they removed it!) go to View : Toolbars : Customize then drag the "Back Forward" buttons next to the refresh button.

Firefox bookmarks are slow?

Firefox has a bug in version 3.6.11, 3.6.12, 3.6.13+ This bug is a problem in SQLite and causes bookmarks to become unbearably slow when searching on some systems. The estimated fix will be released with the public version of Firefox 4 however I urge you to politely ask them to create a hotfix update before it's release. at support.mozilla.com A link to the correct report is in the related links section below.

As a current workaround you can try these things:

  • Search your bookmarks from the address bar
  • Uninstall Firefox, then reinstall Firefox 3.6.10
  • Use another browser.

How do you change backspace function in Firefox?

Open firefox and type 'about:config' into the address bar and press enter. In the search field type backspace, if you haven't done anything in firefox's config file (prefs.js) there should be a single integer value displayed. Right click and select Modify. Setting the value to 0 will set backspace to go back in your history 1 page. Setting it to 1 will cause the browser to scroll upwards when backspace is pressed. Setting it to any other value will cause the backspace will do nothing.

No, Internet Explorer (IE) was created by Microsoft, and Firefox was created by Mozilla. They are two different companies.

Dual screens Applications open on wrong screen Apps like Firefox and itunes open on the wrong monitor and even if you move them they open on the wrong one when you open them again?

Unmaximise the window and move it to the monitor that it should be opening on. Don't maximise it here, just close it.

When you open it again, it will be on the correct monitor. Maximise it again, then close it.

From this point on, it will open on the correct monitor, even if you move it to the other monitor and maximise it there. Same "problem", only reversed. Since that's what you want it to do, it's not really a problem now. Still a biug though.

Should install anything with a toolbar?

Some things you can install with a toolbar that comes with it. Some things may contain a virus.
