Last week, I did something I had been longing to do for a long time. I downloaded the latest version of Mozilla, and I’ve been using the navigator and the mail client ever since. It feels so good to be one step further away from Micro land.
Having gone through it, here are my recommendations.
- Download the “talkback” build for your platform. The links are on the home page, in the right column.
- Choose custom install and install everything. I can’t recall exactly in which way, but I recall it does things slightly differently if you choose full install.
- If you have to reinstall (it may happen), do it in a different directory – otherwise Mozilla retains heaps of previous installation settings that you’ll probably not want (if you had to reinstall, the settings probably weren’t exactly how you wanted them…)
- Be patient at first. You need time to get used to your new tool. If you would like some moderate assistance, feel free to get in touch (but I’m no specialist!)
- Be it known that “shift-click” on IE becomes “ctrl-click” in Mozilla (to open a link in a new window).

Good luck!
