Otters rock and a Firefox query

I had my final injection this past week, so now all I can do is wait to see how helpful it is; I do see some improvement. It is hard to remain an optimist at a time when the entire world seems to be in freefall, but I am trying to remain optimistic about this. And since we all are in need of comfort posts (like comfort food), here is a wonderful video about Pumpkin, a baby otter that was discovered abandoned soon after birth and taken to the Monterey Aquarium, where she recovered. She could not be returned to the wild, so she has a new life at Seaworld in San Diego. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O5ER...
Also, I have a computer query for my Facebook friends and readers. I have always used the much -despised Internet Explorer as my browser, having tried Google Chrome and found it wanting. But IE has become so balky and frustrating that I have to look for another browser. I am exploring Foxfire and it seems promising. I have not yet made it my default browser, mainly because I am concerned that in doing that, I might lose my desktop shortcuts, all of which are used in my research. I am in the process of copying the desktop icons “just in case,” but I would be grateful if any of you with Foxfire experience let me know what you think of it. Thanks!

Latoya Your desktop icons won't change. But your Favorites should be saved and then saved to Firefox. Make Firefox your default browser then backup your bookmarks.

Sharon Thanks, V! I can always count on my readers to come through for me. I appreciate this tip about the Favorites, which I think are called Bookmarks in Foxfire?

Yes IE is favorites and firefox bookmarks. If remember correctly when you install Firefox it will ask if you want to import your bookmarks.

Sharon Sounds like something even I could manage, V; I am notorious among my friends for my technology fiascos.

Elaine Cougler I kept looking at that word Foxfire and my subconscious was telling me something was wrong. V nailed it. The irony is I use Mozilla Firefox and I just didn't see you'd switched the syllables, Sharon.
So glad it all worked out for you.
BTW I'm on a Mac and use Mozilla Firefox for my browser and have no problems. Good luck.
