So Mozilla is a web browser that you use just like internet explorer?
Yes. It ias basically the successor to the old Netscape, but with some
big differences.
What do you do? do you go to something like mozilla.com and download
it?
To mozilla.org actually.
I'm wondering if my isp will recognize it, or if i will have to run a
config of some sort.
Your ISP doesn't care. All your ISP sees are bits. They don't care where
the bits come from and where they go. They just see your local computer
opening up a connection on port 80 to the machine at sleazyporn.com and
some data coming back, and they just pass it along without paying attention
to what it is.
You can be using Opera, Mozilla, an ancient version of Mosaic or Lynx, and
the ISP doesn't care. You can even open up a DOS window and telnet into
port 80 of the remote server, type commands into it by hand and get HTML
back in your face. It's all just bits.
