But seriously folks. By now firefox is well know by many people and is easily considered the best browser in the world. In fact, on several of the websites I own, firefox is the NUMBER ONE browser used to view my webpages.
This mostly stems from the fact that Firefox is small, lightweight, and super simple. But recently I have discovered a new side of my beloved firefox that I never knew existed.
AD-ONS!
Thats right, you can now customize your browser to do all sorts of crazy, useful, and amazing things. Now I know for some of you this isn't news. But I never knew this!
I was sitting in one of my tech classes and looked over at my buddies screen, all the sudden his browser turned into a 3D cube and spun around to display the next tab.
"Hubbawha?" I was confounded and befuddled to say the least.
My uber technical geek friend explained to me that it was a simple add-on for firefox.
"You do have firefox don't you?" he asked.
I pointed at my screen, then at my chest where I was proudly wearing my Firefox 1.0 t-shirt.
So I promply set out to find this add-on. What I found was a storehouse of browser goodies.
You can even do browser themes! Now, I know many of these things are possible with other browsers, don't get your panties in a bunch if you love IE or Opera. But the ease at which you can do it with firefox is unparalleled.
To get your own add-ons for firefox, go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ and don't forget to install and USE firefox if you havn't already yet.
The Three Add-ons that I ended up getting (and USING) for now are:
FireFox Zune Theme
Tab Effect
PicLens (this one is AMAZING, you need to check it out. Viewing pictures on the web will never be the same)
