Shallow Praise of Mozilla Firefox

[dlgood]

I like Mozilla Firefox - which I downloaded awhile back. It seems to be only marginally annoying, inasmuch as it seems unable to overwrite old bookmarks with new ones, instead leaving duplicates that need to be cleaned up. Otherwise, it seems a vast improvement over IE in terms of speed, pop-up-blocking, pass-word management, and the general coolness of tabbed browsing. And then general absence of crashing and suckitude.

Current Extentions Used:
1) Adblock
2) Feedview
3) ForecastFox
4) Linky
5) MapIt!
6) Smoothwheel
7) Tabbrowser Preferences

And Yay! Tonight I'll be going to the Maryland-Virginia Tech basketball game with my buddy (and former college roommate) Matt. Which means I'll finally be able to give him the birthday presents for my little godsons Brian and Jack. Like many parents of very young children, Matt and Julie have been ridiculously busy and I never get to see them nearly enough. Or really, even get ahold of them on the phone. So this should be nice.

I used to use Netscape back in the day, but IE passed it (IMHO) several years ago in terms of being easier to code for and use despite the bugs. Firefox, OTOH, kicks both Netscape and IE's butts.

And I hope the snow is gone for your sake as well...

Someone just took out our mailbox here at work.lolol Luckily it was the son of a client and he's off to buy a new one.

I think I'll be heading home a bit early today since it's still coming down and they've done bupkiss to the streets.

I'm hoping to get a new desktop for my 40th birthday in the fall so I'll probably check out Firefox then. I'm babying my current computer and it likes Netscape okay so I'm sticking with that. I finally got everyone to stop using IE at work, at least. I've just never liked it.

It would be nice if browsers would recognize coding the same way. Maybe in a dream world. *sigh*
