7 Reasons to Switch to FireFox
Introduction
Copyright 2005 John Gergye
The Firefox browser has exploded on the scene. At the time of this writing there have been 23 million downloads of this innovative competitor to Internet Explorer. Minor drawbacks aside, most who use it love it, myself included.
One stand out feature is the customizable search bar that's built into the Firefox menu bar. As a long time AOL user I had 10 hot keys set up for sites I visited all the time. With Firefox all I did was set the search bar up with those very same links. Suddenly what seemed like a reason to mourn the loss of AOL vanished.
Then there's tabbed browsing. This is a new way to use a browser as you can access more than one page in a single browser window. Which makes it easy to switch back and forth among multiple web pages. Makes for a great time saver.
But a big benefit is the ability to install little applications that perform specific tasks. In the FireFox world these are called "extensions". If you're like me you'll find extension are sorta like potato chips‚ you just can't have just one.
So let me share my 7 favorites. I believe they will save you time or effort while enhancing your FireFox experience. |
