Firefox - The Browser of Kings and King of Browsers
Firefox is King of Browsers
Posted by Adam Hayes
The newest contender in the browser war has taken another fatality. Me! I have been using Firefox off and on for the past few months since version 1.0 was released. Besides being standards compliant and having a 100% fully customizable look and feel, it is the extensions that really sold me.
Before I was converted to the only true browser, I mainly just used Firefox to test my recently developed websites for compatibility. Now I don't know what I would do without Firefox.
It is awful when I find myself in IE and trying to use my new and nifty "All-in-One Gestures" to go backward in the history, open a new window, or close a window. Here are a list of the extensions that I use and would highly recommend.
- Tabbrowser Preferences 1.1.1
- All-in-One Gestures 0.12.4
- Auto Copy 0.5.0
- FirefoxView 0.31.1 (love this one to jump to a real browser after accidentally opening IE)
It is amazing how Firefox is truly helping people rediscover the web. All of the programmers out there keep coming up with easier, better ways of doing what needed to be done on the web for years. Best of all Firefox is FREE. That's right. No strings attached, 100% FREE.
Use these links to get a FREE copy of Firefox and great time saving extensions.
Now no browser is 100% hacker safe, but it sure beats the socks off of Internet Explorer. With improved security and privacy, Firefox is a great choice for anyone looking to really enhance their web surfing experience.
Comparable to how Internet Explorer stole the browser market from Netscape, I see a new contender in town that wants the number 1 spot and has what is necessary to take that spot. I've been tracking browser usage for a while, and Firefox is definitely picking up speed and marking its territory on the web.

hazyboy05, Great question!
Tabbrowser Preferences gives
you more control over how
Firefox creates and displays
tabs, All-in-One Gestures
allows you to do things like
right-click and draw a "c"
and see what cookies are
being stored, right-click and
drag left to go back in the
history, etc., auto copy will
copy any text to the
clipboard by simply
highlighting it, and firefox
view allows you to right-
click in IE and choose "View
this page in Firefox." Thanks
for the comment!

For all of you that are
interested in the gestures for
All-in-one Gestures, install
the extension, restart firefox,
and while right clicking move
your mouse Down, then Right,
then Down. When you release the
mouse it will now open up the
"Gestures" menu that will show
you all of the gestures that
are installed.

If firefox is as great as you
say it is, I might just make
the change too! But what
exactly do the "highly
recommended extensions" do?
