My boyfriend installed Ubuntu on my computer but I cannot open the web browser to get to the internet, because I can't find the blue E icon in the main screen.
I know that the internet connection works because I am surfing right now from my computer, but I can only do this because the browser was left open.
How do I launch a browser so I can see web pages?
The Big Blue 'E' is Internet Explorer on Windows, which is a web browser. Ubuntu does not run Internet Explorer, but has several other browsers available to access the internet. Common ones include Firefox and Chromium, and Google Chrome.
Look for an Icon on the desktop that looks like a blue circle with an orange fox wrapped around the bottom - this is Firefox. You can use it to access the internet. Alternatively, press the 'special' key on your keyboard (probably looks like a windowpane) and type firefox, which will cause your computer to search for firefox.
The default icons for various browser on Ubuntu include:
Firefox
Chromium
