"In this segment what we are going to do is we are going to install Firefox and we are going to do this while the antivirus program is working in the background scanning the computer so we are going to install over that. So you see the antivirus program is doing the complete test and we want to bring up our download folder. Just click it and it comes back up and if not you know go back and open it up and we are going to do Firefox right here and let's do a double click. This is going to give us our alternative web browser and we want to run this file and we want to give it permission. Firefox has some features that are really cool and you can do some reading on that. We want to say we accept the agreement and you can read it and we want the standard and Firefox is now installing so we are multitasking here. We've got a couple of things going at the same time and we say finish. Here is where some of the important things come in and it is going to ask you do you want to import book marks and history. This is a kind of nice that web browsers can do, you can get things from other web browsers and just say o'kay. So if you use Explorer and you set some things up and it says now please select a home page and you just you know go with the home default. Now it just shows you what is being imported from Explorer. And what I usually do then you say finished. Now this is important here it says Firefox not currently your default browser, would you like to make it your default and I usually say yes and it will start and do that every time it starts to make sure it is the default."
