Blake, if you press F1 in your keyboard when you have Firefox open (or go into Help > Firefox Help), you'll find a very rich knowledge base where you can learn pretty much everything about Firefox. If you have any specific question, simply ask here and I'll answer them the best I can and know.

FF is still way too complicated. The link "Browsing Basics" provides a useless ToC that provides little help, and is confusing. The same is true for "setting up your home page". Once again, I think, non-intuitive, TMI or perhaps TLI, to give an easy way to action the technology. Safari seems, to me at least, so much easier to make the technology work (easily) for me.

In the busy, over stimulated world we have created for ourselves, I have neither the time, patience, nor desire to play puzzle games.

Regretably, FF will be uninstalled ASAP. You have lost a now and future customer, with any other collatoral customer losses as I report my experiences to others.

I have never been able to understand why so many companies fail to get a simple truth: make your customer happy, and you will have a friend for life (with the bucks that go with it!),

...and on that bucking bronk,

'Nuff said.

Blake, Mozilla is a non-profit, public service organization, and, as such, doesn't have the same financial interests Apple (or any other company developing a major web browser) does. Mozilla's objective is that you, the user, use the browser you want, be if Firefox or any other browser. I'm happy that you found your "home".

That said, Firefox is, in truth, the easiest browser to use, for the simple reason that you can set it up to behave exactly like you want it to behave. However, setting it up (options screen, add-ons and so on) may be something an unexperienced user has a hard time with. You may or may not be interested to know that there are plans to redesign Firefox's options screen for releases after Firefox 4.0.

You seem to go back to "setting up the home page". That is the easiest thing to do, of all things: see this. I don't have Safari installed (because it's blurry, not integrated, ugly, not customizable, slow in terms of workflow, and is known to have serious unpatched security issues), so I can't compare the process. I do have Chrome, Opera and Internet Explorer 8 installed, which I use for testing web pages, and Chrome is as easy as Firefox (maybe a tiny bit harder), Internet Explorer is as easy, and Opera is as easy. It seems to me that there's some fairly standard approach to how to set up the home page, to be honest.

Now, that approach will probably change in Firefox 4, and it will probably redefine the concept of home page into something like startup pages, more in tune with the modern world and, most importantly, with localization, but that's still a few months away.

Anything else, just ask. If you don't like Firefox and don't use, that's fantastic, just as long as you use a browser you do like, my job is successfully done.
