Firefox is simply the best browser available mainly because of its large library of extensions available. Users are able to create their own extensions and submit them to be downloaded. There is a handful of useful extensions i use every day that when i use a browser without them, it kills my productivity. Here is a list of extensions i use often.

Extensions

• Validate HTML (PC) or Validate HTML (MAC)
• Web Developer Toolbar
• Link checker
• Fire Bug
• Del.icio.us Bookmarks (Article coming soon on this)
• Dragfile

Most of them are web development related but the bottom two are very useful ones. To check out the full list of extensions visit the official extensions website.

Tabs

If you are still using Internet Explorer 6 then you probably have no idea what tabs are and you should definitely listen up! How often do you find yourself with 10 different web pages open at the same time in different windows? Or maybe you just use one window but would like to have multiple web pages open at the same time to compare things? Using tabs (hit CTRL + T or apple +T) it will open a new tab directly inside the same browser window. This keeps all of your open web pages in one window as opposed to having multiple windows open.
