bold textI got firefox to work perfectly with Windows XP on my main computer, but not on the laptop.

The problem is simple - I have to uninstall Microsoft IE, to make things work perfectly. In the uninstal program of my laptop running on Windows 7 the Internet Explorer name is not visible. I know all about defaults, and Using windows to turn off the program. I HAVE TO UNINSTALL.

All my passwords are stored to RoboForm. NO PROBLEM.

But everytime I want to use Yahoo Mail it is asking me for my password. EVERY DARN TIME. On Windows EP I had this problem until I got rid of IE.

I like fire fox, I want it. It is fast. But this problem stops me from using it.
