I've been monitoring my site's stats lately. Guess what I noticed? Close to 60% of the people who visits my site use the Mozilla Firefox. I too, am a Firefox user myself. Been using it for quite a while now. If you're still wondering about Why Firefox?, try it out yourself and Get Firefox!. Some would say that browsers like Firefox are secure. However, this is not so. No product can really say that it is really secure. Even Firefox is have holes that can be exploited in it. So, security is not really the cause for switching browsers. Not for me, at least. Thanks to Firefox's extensive extension list, I'm now able to do a whole lot of things from within a single browser window. Among my favorite extensions:

fireFtp - I now have a FTP client running inside my browser window. FoxyTune - I am listening to my favorite tunes within my browser window. GMail Notifier - I'm now notified of new mails in my GMail account. InfoRSS - I've got an RSS ticker in my Firefox's status bar. Sage - An RSS / Atom reader right within Firefox.
The above mentioned extensions are just a few of the many available. And of course, if you read my post yesterday, there is also an extension for viewing annotations on websites. A whole lot of people are really into Firefox. Over at the Spread Firefox! Community Site, work is in progress to create a Firefox logo mosaic from pages of web sites. Here's what it looks like right now: Firefox Mosaic If you'd like to get the actual image, it's here. Be warned that it's a whopping 2MB file. Do I still use Internet Explorer then? Unfortunately, yes. For some strange reason, which I do not fathom, there are sites out there that can only be viewed with IE. Thus, I still use IE whenever I have to. Oh well..
