Just got mozilla firefox. It is sweet, and seems to run much faster than Internet Explorer.
The add-on functionality for firefox is awesome. I have downloaded several themes for the browser already.
ISN’T THIS COOL??? |

Congratulations! Firefox’s add-ons are its best feature. Be sure to get...
NoScript: a must, for security...and it works well against Flash ads, too.
AdBlockPlus with FiltersetG Updater: ’nuff said.
TabMixPlus: lets you do all sorts of things with tabs.
FoxyTunes: if you listen to music, definitely get this. It lets you do a lot of stuff with music, including inserting a music signature at the end of all your e-mails!
Just look around, there’s all sorts of cool extensions. |

Great! I’ll try to look into those, too.

December Holidays happened. 
Hopefully, everyone will be back soon. |

I say I have a bit more conversion to be done, yet. Just admit IE does have some better handling some things, such as more advanced viewing page source, displaying mhtml files, etc.
But firefox outranks IE by miles! It has never crashed on me yet. |

| IE has more advanced page source viewing? I never noticed that...(as opposed to FF, which has syntax highlighting for the page source) |

Firefox has some problems with editable objects, but other than that, a lot better. IE crams it with a bunch of worthless stuff that slow down the computer.
But the one thing I HATE about Firefox is that you can’t open a new tab unless you have 2 tabs open. Argh. 
Anyone know how to fix that? |

Go to Tools, Options and then to Tabs and enable the ’Always show the Tab Bar’ option. Yeah, I’m a Firefox convert too. |
