www.spreadfirefox.com: Fire Fox is an internet browser. It works much the same way as Internet Explorer, some say it is even more simple to use. The best thing about Firefox is the add-on 1-Click Answers. This add-on allows users to click on any word in a web based document and obtain the definition. I highly suggest that you download this browser, add 1-Click Answers, and use it to read the documents in this course. If you need help, feel free to ask.
