Why I use Mozilla Firefox?

I'd actually used a lot of browser before I settle down with Mozilla Firefox. Opera and Safari are the browsers that I'd used for many years, I fancy Speed Dial from Opera and the appearance of Safari, but both of them are not perfect browser to me. I often faced difficulties when come to downloading with Safari, but Opera looks quite dull sometimes. Until I found Firefox with its tremendous of add-ons, I finally found my best browser. Just some sharing on what kind of add-ons actually move me to use Mozilla Firefox :

AnyColor: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6991


AnyColor is the add-on that allows you to make your browser looks more colorful, also with glossy effects. My Firefox is in sky blue now :)



Download Statusbar: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/26


Download Statusbar replaces the annoying download window that gets in your way when browsing.



Firebug: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843


Now, with Firebug, web developer can easily view and edit CSS, HTML, and JavaScript in any website he/she is browsing. A good debugging tool.



FoxTab: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8879


Very often I having problem to navigate through tabs if they went beyond the width of my browser, but not anymore. FoxTab gives you a quick glance on all your open tabs, and it is more than what you can see from the image above.



FoxyTunes: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/219


Cool... I have save few clicks to open my music player while I'm browsing. Instead, my player is now embedded within my Firefox. Very impressive on the amount of players that it can support. Must get this add-on!



GooglePreview: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/189


By having this add-on, you can now have a first glance on your Google search result, plus those links also come with rating to show how reliable the results are to you.



Interclue: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4999


With Interclue, you will be able to know what is behind the link without needed to click on it. It gives you almost every information you need to know about the page that connected to the link :)



Personas: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10900


Not only color, you can now have your own theme for your Firefox ranging from categories like abstract, sports, websites, music, and etc.



Quick TransLation: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5641


As the name implies, it is a quick translation tool. Just set your language or country to translate, then highlight the word you want to translate in the web page. Viola! you will have your word being translated!



QuickNote: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/46


Since Opera comes with notepad, I just want my Firefox to have one as well. In fact, it is quite a useful and handy add-on.



Speed Dial: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4810


This is the one I'm talking about. Speed Dial! It works exactly the same as the Opera but it is much more customizable. You can have any number of rows and columns for your speed dial, and you can even have multiple tabs to have different set of speed dial. What a brilliant idea.



Tab Scope: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4882


With this add-on, you can now view your inactive tab by just hover you mouse cursor on the tab. Other than previewing the web content, you can also perform basic navigation from the scope, such as "Back", "Refresh", "Close", and etc. Cool!



The Nethernet: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6336


No joke. This is a MMORPG where you can play with your Firefox. A simple yet addictive game that only requires you to browse around the Internet, but there are mines and traps around :)



Well, these are the add-ons that I have in my Firefox - my favorite web browser.
