    Almost, but not quite the same. Why is she opposed to firefox?

    I think the 2 browsers look similar enough though.

    I would've just installed IE7 beta 2; I've been running it without any problems for weeks now.

    If she has popups even with a popup blocker running (I see Google Toolbar obviously) then they're either a) "after the page loads" popups (the new problem) or b) there's spyware on that computer; time for some maintenance.

    yea she uses aohell for email...shes had the email address since ..... 1996? so its tough but we need to get current.


    the popups are after the page loads popups google toolbar doesnt block all of them apparently...


    next one up for the firefox trend is my girlfriends computer, i plan on doing the same thing.

    I'll bet there's a theme that even looks more like IE.

    I think it's wonderful that you did that for your mom. Hope she appreciates it. Very clever.

    Looks good. Couldn't get any better. Does your mom like it? Could she tell the difference?

    Thanks to Firefox we have a faster web browser than IE.
