Want to download foxfire to a friends win 7 computer. His system has no email but has broadband and internet service. I cannot see how firefox can configure an account - a new email account. Also in order to get a google account or get gmail, one has to have an email addr. I just did this and downloaded firefox to my mac to test things out. I cannot see how to create another email account besides the one I have with mail 4.4 and using tds.net services. All I want to do is help a friend get email on a win 7 machine - using firefox!! Why is this so hard?

Firefox is just a web browser and has no email features. Email accounts accessed through Firefox are webmail accounts such as Gmail.

Thunderbird is a separate application, you can install it if you need to set up an email account that is not web based. If you need help with using Thunderbird, you can ask in one of these forums which specialize in Thunderbird:
