Web Browsers

A browser is simply a program you use to look at web sites. The two major ones are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape. While FB Direct and other Fordham web sites should work fine with either browser, we recommend Internet Explorer. Both browsers are free and available for Windows or Macintosh computers.

	Microsoft Internet Explorer To determine if you have a current version, select "About Internet Explorer" from the Help menu. If the version number is anything below 5.0, you should upgrade. Download Internet Explorer for Windows Download Internet Explorer for Macintosh
	Netscape If you have a version prior to 6 (the version number is visible when the program opens), you should download an upgrade. Download Netscape (PC or Mac)
	Apple Safari Apple has now come out with its own browser, Safari. As Microsoft has stopped developing new versions of Internet Explorer for Macintosh, this is likely to become a popular program on Macintosh computers. Download Safari (Macintosh only)
