Firefox Browser
Hey people if you haven’t heard of Firefox internet browser yet. Well you’ve been definitely missing out. It was recently developed from Mozilla It was called Firebird in the previous version and they came out with a new version 0.8 and got a new name: Firefox . It’s very good for webdeveloping and internet surfing as well. It’s got very handy features, like Editing CSS and alot more extensions you can add.
UpdateI added some useful extensions in comments
I don’t know where I would be without a tabbed web browser. Plus all of the other features and the option to add extensions makes Firefox one hell of a piece of software!
I added some of the Extensions that you might need for FireFox:
1- CopyImage Adds a ‘Copy Image to Clipboard’ item to the context menu.
2- IE View - Adds “View page in Internet Explorer” links to the content and link context menu. Handy for previewing pages in IE, loading up IE-only pages when you run across them in Mozilla, etc. (Windows Only).
3- TabBrowser Extensions - Add-on package for extending operations of tabbed browsing, for example tabs become reorderable by drag and drop, but much much more than just that.
4- CuteMenus - Add icons to most of the menu-items in your popups and context menus.
5- JavaScript Console Status - This extension displays an icon in the status bar whenever a JavaScript warning or error occurs in a webpage. Clicking on the icon opens the JavaScript Console.
6- Live HTTP Headers - For the web developer, Adds information about the HTTP headers by adding a ‘Headers’ tab in ‘View Page Info’ of a web page, by adding a tool in the ‘Tools->Web Development’ menu to be able to display http headers in real time, and by letting you edit request headers and replay a URL.

I’ve been using Firebird the last few months and it’s great!! I didn’t even know anything about Firefox, it must be pretty new. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks, Mo.
Your welcome Eric.. Actually this just came out recently. Its pretty sweet. It’s my main web browser now.
Yep, Firefox is three days old, having been released on the the 10th. I’ve got so many extentions loaded now, man is this great or what. I like the tabbed browsing, but my favorite is the “Paste and Go” extention. Copy a url from anywhere…. right click the address bar, select “Paste and Go”… it auto pastes the url into the address bar, and automatically goes to that url… quite handy.
