Browser changing

[Guest]

How do I change my brower back to Internet Exploxer? Where do I go to change
Firefox back to my default? Right now I'm getting error messages on my Dell
Inspiron 9400 with Firefox. I want to change it back to the default.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, attilathehun1

Start IE, go to "Tools", select the "Programs" tab tick the box that says
"Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser" ,
close IE . When you retart it you will be given the choice to make it the
default..

Why did you want to go back to IE? Especially since Firefox is a more
secure browser.

I haven't used IE7 yet. Is Firefox really more secure? How does ActiveX
enter the equation?

Good Luck, Ayush.

Firefox doesn't run ActiveX, that's a big contributor to its security.

As to whether it's more secure then IE, you'll find lots of people to
argue both sides. Firefox bugs get fixed faster, and the update is
applied automatically.

How about making sure IE is configured to:

* not download unsigned ActiveX controls,
* not initialize/script unsafe ActiveX controls, and
* prompt you otherwise?

Isn't this secure?
