Firefox is a secure alternative web browser and a favorite of many techs at PCTechBytes. This article isn't going to discuss Firefox's great security, nor will it bog down in details about it's tabbed browsing or integrated search. Nope. Today, folks, we're having fun with Firefox.
Fun With Firefox
Firefox Add-ons
Themes - Tired of looking like every other Firefox web browser out there? If so, use a Theme to change the appearance of Firefox. One of the most popular themes are Firefox Vista, which makes your Firefox browser look like the new Internet Explorer 7--so those of you who love the look and feel of IE no longer have a reason not to switch to Firefox!
Extensions - Extensions allow you to increase the functionality of Firefox by installing additional software that integrates with Firefox. New extensions are frequently added, so you have fun trying them all. We're currently using DownThemAll, which is a download manager that improves download speeds by up to 400%.
Search Engines - The search box is already a convenient part of the Firefox experience. Firefox come preloaded with some of the most popular that you can change as your default at any time. But Firefox is fun, so Search Add-ons allow you to add broad range of search engines that aren't included with the original, such as Technorati and Hollywood.
Once you install Firefox you'll be able to access these fun add-ons and make an already great web browser better. You can get these add-ons directly from the Firefox website at https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/
Try Firefox for a week and you'll convert. |
