Firefox on Roll

Firefox has been rated widely used browser version again. If we count users of IE 5, IE 6 and IE 7 together then Firefox is at no. 2. Otherwise it outshines any specific version of IE - Internet Explorer.

I have been using Firefox for last 3 years now almost since its inception and have become a die-hard fan of that. I don't use IE except while testing the ASP.NET web applications. See the interesting statistics at the W3Schools website: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

Firefox is more stable and faster than IE. Also it is the most fascinating browser available on the earth due to the add-ons it offers. My Firefox is fully loaded with add-ons. Right now I am using the below add-ons with my firefox 2.0.0.13:
    • Cooliris Previews 2.6
    • Fast Video Download 1.5
    • Fasterfox 2.0.0
    • Firebug 1.05
    • FlashGot 0.9
    • Google Notebook 1.0.0.19
    • IE Tab 1.3.3.20070528
    • PicLens 1.6.2.1659
    • Session Manager 0.6.1.13
    • Stumble Upon 3.18
    • ViewTrace 1.3
    • Web Developer 1.1.5
I bet once you give them a try, you will be tempted to download, install and use all of them and become a fan of Firefox and its add-ons like me.

So what are you waiting for....go and give them a shot!!
