Why I use Firefox
1 February 2009
As Internet Explorer came as part of Windows I always used it as my web browser.
When I first heard through a friend about Firefox I thought I'd check it out and have a bit of a play.
The first thing that struck me was the tabs. Having the tabs meant that I could keep my favourite websites open rather than having lots of programs open in the task bar.
As I started website design I always found that websites I was making looked different depending on which browser they were being viewed in, and then I later found out that Internet Explorer renders a website different to Firefox, for example not using the box model, as explained at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_box_model_bug
After using Firefox a while I found out about the different addons and extensions available for it. Most of the extensions I doubt I'd ever use, but I found this list of some of the best: www.procata.com/blog/archives/2007/03/08/firefox-extensions-for-web-developers/
