In the war of the web browsers, Mozilla’s entry with Firefox will most assuredly go down in history as a heavyweight. With great speed, easy customization and a myriad of ad on applications and tools, Firefox is a great way to manage your web interface.
Because there are so many different additional features to Firefox, choosing the right ones can be a heavy burden. This several part series will introduce readers to a couple useful tips, and a general review of some of the more useful and popular add ons and plugins for the Firefox web browser.
To begin with; if you don’t have Firefox it’s easy to get. Simple navigate to mozilla.com and click the download link for the latest version. From there it’s as easy as following some basic instructions to get the browser installed. You can also make sure during the installation that Firefox is the primary browser for your PC. That way, when you click on a web link in an email, Firefox will open the web page.
A few other things it is good to know about Firefox when getting started are the password and user name options and the theme setting feature. For the first one, whenever you type in a user name and password for a secure web site the first time, Firefox will ask if you want it to remember those keys for the next time you visit the sight. You can either tell it yes, no or ask again later. Remember, even if you have it store secret user names and passwords, you can always delete them back out later.
And, as far as themes go, that’s a whole separate story on it’s own. There are so many different options settings, looks and styles that it can be a day-long experience tweaking your browser to get it just right.
