Firefox

Well, the best browser in town just got better. If you are not using Firefox, you really should consider packing up your 8-track tapes and buyin’ one of "them there new-fangled iPods… "

Enjoy a Better Web Experience:  Firefox comes with an improved Location bar that suggests sites from your history and bookmarks as you type terms into the address field.  It also makes bookmarking a snap with 1-click bookmarking and bookmark tags.  Firefox is faster than ever and uses less memory than many other browsers. Tabbed browsing allows you to open multiple sites at once, and it lets you drag & reorder them or undo a tab close.  The Password manage lets you save passwords without hassle, and the session restore feature lets you get back to the same pages you were at if you have a sudden shutdown or crash.

Stay Secure on the Web:  Firefox protects you from viruses, worms, trojan horses and spyware. If you accidentally access an attack site, it will warn you away from the site and tell you why it isn’t safe to use.  Firefox gets a fresh update of web forgery sites 48 times in a day, so if you try to visit a fraudulent site that’s pretending to be a site you trust (like your bank), a browser message—big as life—will stop you. Firefox also has automated updates, allowing you to fix security issues in record time.

Personalize Your Browser:  The sky’s the limit with a growing library of over 6,000 Firefox add-ons, little extras you choose to download and install for a browser that works your way. Manage online auctions, upload digital photos, see the weather forecast in a glance and listen to music all from the convenience of your browser. There’s no need to open a new window or tab for each task. If you’re not sure where to begin, try Fashion Your Firefox—a handy Web application that recommends add-ons based on your interests.



Addons

Here are some of our favorite Firefox Addons:

  • Adblock Plus - Stops Ads on Websites.  'Nuff Said.
  • IE Tab - need to run a page in Internet Explorer?  One click turns your Firefox tab into IE without leaving Firefox.  You will never need to launch IE again.
  • Video Downloadhelper - Allows you to download videos from websites that often don't give you a download option, like Youtube.
