Why Firefox is my favorite web browser:
Tabbed Interface - Enjoy the comfortable surfing experience.
Extensions - does allow you to surf the web faster, easier and still safer. Some of my favorites: NoScript, Cookie Monster, BetterPrivacy, Adblock Plus, Redirect Remover, RefControl, URL Dot and URL Suffix respectively, Tab Mix Plus and FireFTP.
Themes - Change the look and feel of the user interface and personalize it to the way you like with a lot of predefined Themes or create your own Themes.
Search Engine Integration - search a lot of search engines, dictionaries (Leo) and communities for terms and definitions or images, from the integrated Search Bar.
Furthermore I like Firefox cause: It's Open Source Software, clearly arranged and uncomplicated, depends on the Mozilla rendering engine Gecko and is therefore IE independent, Favorites / Bookmarks can be imported / exported very easily.
Join the Mozilla Community and be a part of a vibrant community of dedicated firefox users around the globe who promote and support Firefox.
