Firefox is a cool web browser. It has been my main browser since release 1.0 (latest 1.0.6).
Different people switch to firefox for different reasons, be it better security, cross-platform support (including ubuntu Linux), custom skins, the "cool" factor, etc. A more recent motivation is viability. If you are a Windows user, you need to ask this question: will IE 7, the upcoming version of IE, still run on your current Windows platform? If you are running Windows 2000, then you should be sweating.
Tomorrow, I will go over a helper package that I definitely think you should download if you are using firefox: a download manager.

I am running both FireFox and IE.
I especially like FireFox multi-tabs feature - when reading an article, just open up link and load up page on another tab behind by clicking middle button of my mouse (scrolling button), very handy.
However, one thing I still haven't figured out from FireFox is that if I am editing a page with an editable textarea inside (ie. <textarea></textarea>) (eg. editing wiki page, commenting textarea on blogger), it does not allow me to perform a find (Ctrl-F) within the context inside the textarea even with focus on in the editable textarea while performing the find; on the other hand, IE has no problem with that - able to perform find on parent’s content and its context inside editable textarea.
To perform a find (Ctrl-F) of context including editable <textarea></textarea> is still a puzzle to me.
You may try it by
1. Clicking onto "comments" hyperlink of this blog
2. Type a word that doesn't exit outside the textarea
3. Ctrl-F, and find the word you have just typed into the textarea
4. For IE, "find" included context in textarea, but FireFox excluded context in textarea!
I will like to know (reply to this blog comment) if anyone has it figured out or a work-around.
Clara,
If you don't mind, I'll respond in a new blog entry. What you raised was a good issue, and I don't want it buried deep here.
