Firefox
Most of us use Internet Explorer as the de-facto Web browser, maybe because it is preloaded with Windows. But there are other Web browsers that are more user-friendly and offer more features. One of them is Firefox. It is free and available for a variety of operating systems such as Windows, Mac, and Linux.
The beauty of Firefox is its ease of customization. With loads of themes and extensions you can do wonders with it. The Firefox toolbar contains the search engine box, wherein you can keep a number of search engines such as Google, Wikipedia, and Yahoo. You can use Foxmarks, an extension for Firefox to store all your bookmarks online and you can
retrieve them from anywhere else. You can find all the add-ons for Firefox by just clicking on the ‘Get Themes’ link or ‘Get Extensions’ link in the Add-ons window.
The tab browsing feature of Firefox is its most appreciated feature. If many tabs are opened, instead of cramping the tab
bar, it hides the surplus bar indicated by an arrow. Also, if you close a tab by mistake, you can retrieve it by pressing the hot keys [Ctri] + [Shift]+ [T]
