Firefox

[Jessika]

2 years ?? I had no idea it was around that long! I downloaded it yesterday and while I haven't used it much yet (using IE at the moment, out of habit) it does look very friendly. I figured out the tabbed feature and that does seem very cool!

Here's a tip -- if you have a center mouse button, using it to click on links will open them in a new tab! Also clicking on tabs with the center mouse button will close them. This REALLY is convenient while browsing!

There are also a LARGE number of extensions available.. the ones I find most useful are:
- forecast fox (tells your current local weather AND a 3 - 5 day forecast!)
- BBCodeXtra (adds BBCode to your right-click context menu!)
- AdBlock (blocks annoying ads on websites)
- IE View (adds 'view this page in IE' to your right-click, so you can easily open a webpage or link in IE)
- SyncMarks (backs up your bookmarks)
- Linkification (converts text URLs and email addresses to clickable hyperlinks)

Those aren't all of them though! You can download extensions from https://addons.mozilla.org/extension...cation=firefox

Also a program every FireFox user must have: MozBackup. It backs up your entire profile so in case something happens or your profile becomes corrupted you have a safe copy! http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/
