Sweeeeeetness.  I've had Firefox for how long now without discovering how to make it all pretty-like?  Gawds.  Extensions.  Extensions are my friend.  Have added fun things like being able to press ctrl+/ and have an LJ client pop up, or having little media player control buttons in my bottom toolbar so I don't have to switch between Firefox and Winamp.  As well as more uitility extensions like auto-opening links that would open in separate windows in separate tabs, or blocking the pesky blank windows that pop up on some downloads, or avoiding the pesky registration pages on sites like the New York Times.  Also added a few sites to my search toolbar; can now search automatically on Google, Amazon, Dictionary.com, and Everything2.

Get Firefox.  It's a much better browser than Internet Explorer, and it's so shiny once you have the right toys.

I've got Mozilla and I've become addictded to tabbed browsing... if Firefox has that too I'm sold.

Oh yes. Firefox has tabbed browsing and all sorts of extensions you can download to make your tabbed browsing more fun. Actually, all sorts of extensions, period. At the moment I'm quite partial to the tiny media player that appears unobtrusively in the bottom toolbar, which I downloaded this afternoon. And the select-and-type insta-search for as many sites as you want, which appears next to the URL bar. And the extensive ad blocking.

Yeah, Firefox is good shit. It's awesome even without extensions because it's so non-bloated, but once you start downloading plugins it becomes the One Browser to Rule Them All.

Holy. Fucking. Shit. You are my new hero. IE looks like the stone age compared to this. ::fangirls::

Oh, yes indeed. And that adblocking extension? My eyeballs are still popping out of my head.

Amen to that. My dialup hates me because I've downloaded so many nifty extensions for my pet Firefox.

If you haven't already, download Firesomething (http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=31&vid=761). Oh, the joy of opening 5 million browser windows just to see what they'll be called.
