    There's a little flash walk through of the entire installation process of Firefox here.

    It's for an older version but I don't think the installation has changed that much if at all.

    I've got all three as well. I tend to use IE as my default though, it takes up less memory and resources than Firefox (on every system I've tried it on anyway at best they're about the same) and is more compatible with more sites than Opera. I'd love to use Opera on principle all the time because of it's web compliance but TBH I'd rather just have the practicality at the moment of all the sites actually working.

    Probably something like this extension.

    It just tweaks some of the browsers settings to take maximum advantage of the faster connections we have now, and the bigger space we have on our hard-drives to locally cache content for quicker loading.

    Running Firefox you'll get everyone bombarding you with their favourite extension. Just take your time and try new things when you're ready. :)

    Yep. Just install the browser and start using it as it is. There are more enough good features by default to make it worth it. :) Keep it simple to start with.

    Once you are familiar with it then you can start exploring all the extras that you can get.
