I am new to computers (I am 78 years old)so I'd like it
in simple language. I 've downloaded firefox--how do I
deactivate windows firewall and then activate firefox
without being in danger of a virus?Can somebody explain to me step by step how I can change my firewall from windows to firefox please?you are kind of mixing up terms. Firefox is not a firewall, its a browser. It replaces Internet Explorer so you can use it to surf the internet. It is not a windows firewall replacement.
Leave the Windows Firewall in place. If you downloaded Firefox and have not installed it you should double click on the icon to get it to install. If you have already installed it just click on the icon and it will put you on the internet...Can somebody explain to me step by step how I can change my firewall from windows to firefox please?As others have stated before, Firefox is a web browser.. Just keep your Windows Firewall there and run Firefox normally... If you want to be safe from viruses, try getting a decent antivirus.. Try using avast (www.avast.com)-- this thing is free..Can somebody explain to me step by step how I can change my firewall from windows to firefox please?mozilla firefox does nt have firewall but you can download free firewall software from http://www.geeksjunction.com/download/do
