Steps you can take to ensure safe surfing with Internet Explorer

<i>”In a recent Microsoft Knowledge Base article, they provide ‘Steps that you can take to help identify and to help protect yourself from deceptive (spoofed) Web sites and malicious hyperlinks.’ These steps include always using SSL/TLS, typing ‘JScript commands’ in the address bar, and typing in URLs instead of clicking links! I have a suggestion that’s not in the Knowledge Base: don’t use IE!”</i>

I’m back to using Mozilla again and I’m getting the hang of it, now that I figured out how to get Mozilla Mail to check multiple inboxes on an IMAP server. Does anyone know when they plan on moving to the Firebird/Thunderbird codebase? The standalone programs are nice, but they’re lacking in features when compared to contemporary Mozilla.

I’m going to see if I can get Mozilla address book sync to work today - the address book sync worked fine with Netscape 4.7, but for some reason the Mozilla folks haven’t been able to get it right.
