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 think I'd be lost with Firefox. The tabbed browsing is so nice versus using IE and having 5 billion windows open. I have occasional annoyances with Firefox. Sometimes it's security precautions block some sites from working right, even though they aren't malicious. But I can ususually work around it.

As for extentions...hmm, I have...
~FoxyTunes (control your mp3 player within your browser)
~Bandwidth Tester (was just curious about my bandwidth)
~Forecast Fox
~Nuke Anything (lets you right click over something and temporarily remove it from the page)
~Optimoz Tweaks (auto~hide for the sidebar)
~QuickTabPrefToggle (not sure what it does....)
~Resize Search Box (self explanatory)
~Translate (don't know why I dl'ed this one. It's not like I visit lots of foreign pages)
~Mouse Gestures (makes doing some repetitive things easier)
~FLST (focus last selected tabe...goes back to the last tab you were on when you close one. I like this one)
