400 Million and Growing

The Firefox browser had an anniversary a few days ago. That nifty little free browser has been downloaded 400 million times. That’s a lot of free browsers out there. If you haven’t tried Firefox you should. It had the tabbed browsing before IE 7 did and I used it a lot more before IE 7 added that feature. I don’t use Firefox as my primary browser now since some webpages don’t display correctly in it (although the good majority do) and IE does what I want it to, but I have found a few of my work websites that operate better in Firefox than IE so it’s a must to have installed. The fun part about Firefox is that you can download Extensions and Themes to make your browser do fun things and look pretty. What can I say, the fluff is important! I personally like the MacFox and Red Cats (blue and green flavors) themes. If you’re looking for some good extensions, Colorful Tabs, MR Tech Local Install, and Copy Plain Text are very handy. You’ll find fun and useful tools under both categories. You can also download the email program from Mozilla called Thunderbird. I used it for a while and liked it. It’s worth trying if you’re interested.

You can download Firefox from Mozilla’s website for free.
