Let me know thanks I am still going to try and switch from yahoo too I have at&t for my provider maybe that could be my problem with fire fox

Re: What happened to my Bookmarks??
 

That's what I have Greg...ATT Yahoo ("powered by yahoo"). I'm going to Best Buy tomorrow on the way home...maybe have those puter Geeks give me a clue of what I'm buying & then I'm afraid I'll be totally dependant on Martin LOL. I will read the directions first & try to figure things (oh Lordy)

Re: What happened to my Bookmarks??
 

Sounds like Martin knows what he is doing. Im sure you will be ok.

Martin knows what he's doing --- I don't LOL.
Goin to Best Buy today.

I'm back home on my puter now. I stopped at Best Buy & showed the guy what I needed to buy (wrote it down from link Martin gave) and they didn't have it. The guy said what I need is more memory but I didn't have all the details of my puter (model #, ram etc), so I left empty handed. I started my puter up & clicked on my yahoo browser & same pop up (for many months now) said to update yahoo browser ... 'update now' or 'remind me later', so this time I clicked on 'Now'. It said:
"AT&T Yahoo Browser will no longer be updated or supported. Your system will still have I.E. browser. We recommend you follow the steps below to uninstall AT&T Yahoo Browser then, Access Internet via IE."
Then it said to update IE or download Firefox or Safari. I had started to download Firefox 2-3 yrs ago but it wouldn't finish installing. I then used Revo uninstaller - from Martin, to uninstall Yahoo browser & all its components. I GOT FIREFOX NOW!!! No frickin ads to wait for!!! Now I don't know how to get to my emails as there is no icon for it LOL, but I'll figure it out.
How do I turn off this stupid spell check thing? "frickin" & LOL is underlined in red!!
Still don't have my bookmarks :(.
Greg, don't you get that pop up to update your yahoo browser? How come Yahoo didn't tell us about not being updated or supported any longer?

Very seldom do I get that pop up. I never really have no trouble with mine. I just recently got a new computer about a year ago. The only reason I did get a new computer was its one of those new HP its real small.I really like it allot. My old one was fine it was just big. The tower. Its only like 4 years old now. I only used it 3 years. The only reason why I would like to switch to the firefox is people are saying its so good I donot know; I would like to try it if its so great; I donot want to miss out on any thing good LOL
Well looks like your doing ok so far hang in there
Good luck

Re: What happened to my Bookmarks??
 

I found my email - it looks like my old yahoo browser, and with all the ads, but the top is IE. I think Mike is hinting to buy me a new puter - WOOHOO! Any opinions (Martin?) what kind to get? I don't do anything fancy so I don't need something expensive. Lap top? I just saw some smaller ones for $799.00 at BB. Can I use my DSL on a lap top? Can I get pics on it from camera? can I print off of it?

You can use your DSL on your laptop I have a laptop I have it were I can use it wireless to my DSL. I found my new desktop at WalMart they were cheaper and it was on sale too. I got a very good deal on it. Check around. I have three computers .Plus my one at work. Good luck

Thanks Greg, I forgot about Wallyworld. I really hate Best Buy - always trying to sell - with pressure! - maintenance insurance! Last thing I bought from them, I told the guy "if you try to sell me maintenance ins., you can put this back & I'll shop elsewhere". If you say you don't want it, they say "may I ask why??". grrrr
What I have now is a Dell 13 - 14" screen, from '02

I typed in att.yahoo.com & yahoo homepage & they still want me to download the ALL NEW yahoo email homepage so I did thinking maybe I'll find my old bookmarks. Lots of ads, & emails were only abbreviated. Then I clicked on 'My Yahoo' - Homepage... took a long time to load...so much JUNK on it. I don't want the NEWS, Horoscope, movies, TV quide, local shopping & other junk.
Emails were there, & to the left, it said "HAVE YOU BEEN LOOKING FOR YOUR OLD YAHOO BOOKMARKS?" Lo & behold, there they all were!!! YAHOO did this ON PURPOSE!!!! Can you believe it??!!! They took them & put them on the new yahoo email page that I had to download. I hate yahoo. Now, how do I get a icon on Firefox so I can just click on it to get at emails...hmmm I also need to find a way to get to my att.net email which is my master account. I tried, but either the addy or PW is wrong.
Did I say I hate Yahoo?

Re: What happened to my Bookmarks??
 

Don't hate Yahoo in general....but I have no doubt their browser kinda sucks. I'm glad you finally have firefox. Trust me, you'll be happy with it!!! If you are bothered by anything underlined in red as 'misspelled' just right click and select 'add to dictionary' and then it will be recognized after that. The auto spell check is a SUPER AWESOME feature of firefox! Definitely utilize that!
