Well I got the computer fixed just a bit ago, he downloaded some really cool stuff, new programs for me to fix stuff with, he got me the newer internet explorer and Firefox which is totally new to me.
I feel so special LOL
I gotta say using the firefox is pretty weird though, it keeps underlining words, like LOL does this have a spell check or something? Any pointers for me LOL

Firefox is much more secure than IE. And yes, the new version of FF has spell check, but you can turn it off.

Oh one more thing, I did notice the ads still when I had Firefox on, is that normal?

Ya but you can easily block them with FF. Just right click the ad and it will give an option to block all ads from that particular site. I think there is another place that you can block ads as well.

I use AdBlock Plus, works really well.

OK so this all looks pretty interesting LOL it'll take some getting used to I think.
I also noticed that my robo-form isnt on the firefox. Anyone know why? Or how I get it on there?

For Roboform you have to install a part that will make it work with Firefox. If you go to check for updates I think it will let you add it there. Don't really remember since I have used it for so long forgotten where to add the Firefox adder. Once you get use to FF you will love it. I have a problem using IE because I am use to the stuff FF will do.
I also have the adblock Plus that Hippie referenced (she is where I found out about it from) and it works great.

Sorry, I don't use roboform.
Look around the FF site too, the have some really cute themes for it.
You can go to "tools' "options" also and set your preferences there, as far as remembering info, history, passwords etc.

I'll just stick with roboform in IE then cause I have the super old version (yes, I want it that way LOL)
I got so many fun things to look at now LOL this'll take some getting used to.
