View Full Version : Q: Change DUN in Firefox?

Judy, I've set up Firefox on the laptop to see if I like it any better than I did before. (Curiosity killed the cat.)

Perhaps foolishly, I told it to import things from IE. It evidently imported the CS DUN IE had somewhere in a closet, and I can't find any way, any where, to change it. Now that I'm back (lovely trip to the slopes of Shasta & Lassen) I'm setting up the laptop to do more connected things, like e-mail and fun (TapCis) and the CS connection is unbearably slow after the accelerated dialup my ISP Fire2Wire offers. Aside from the fact that I'm cancelling it as soon as I get caught up a little, like first thing in the morning.

Any ideas? No way am I asking you at PCis --this connection is so slow I can hardly stand it here!

Maybe we need a "connectivity" section for a while... that was a pretty important part of the OLR TapCis forum, now I think of it. Anything to get Pete hanging out here more!

That's cool --I noticed I'd farkled the title while the "submit" was loading and hit the "stop" button expecting to lose the message --but when I backed out of the blank page here it was.

Check the following: Start | Settings | Control Panel |Internet Options |Connections and, to always use your high speed connection, choose that there.

And it's even there twice! (I answered the first one.)

Sigh. I'd forgotten all about that way of getting at that folder (and would probably have thought it only applied to IE if I'd remembered).

Thanks.

Now how do we rename, merge, or get rid of the Q thread?

Don't blush! If I had a nickel for every time I've done something like that, I'd be RICH!
