Being part of the Firefox movement in the past few months I've fallen in love with it - but I'm at my father's house for a few days and he's one of the aohell holdouts. He recently gained a cable internet connection, so I'm ready to set him free and let him enjoy Firefox and keep him a bit safer from the crazies.
What I intend on doing is giving him Firefox with the necessary cool extensions, and setting it up for him - my questions for you guys are 1. What extensions do you think I should give him, other than the classic Firesomething, and 2. What theme is the *closest* to Internet Explorer that you're aware of? I figure dumming things down as much as possible is the way to go for him, but my searches for an I.E. look-alike theme have come up blank. Any ideas?
Any and all suggestions are welcome! And thanks!
EDIT: Forgot to mention, as he has comcast internet, in order to insure the connection to his cable internet he has to connect to the comcast home page, I believe, would setting the Firefox homepage to www.comcast.net/chsi.html (the comcast home page for high speed internet) work for this? My understanding is a bit vague as I've got another internet provider at my main residence, and well, quite simply, I'm not sure I'll be around long enough to see if it works or not.
