Mozzilla Firefox 1.5

My browser of choice. Yes, I still use IE occasionally to view the
occasional web pages that look "weird" on Firefox, but on the whole
Firefox is my Main Man when it comes to web browsing. Firefox have
numerous features, but these are my faves:

1. Tab browsing, like most people I always have multiple web pages opened, but I hate having so many browser windows opened, it's a mess, and I don't like Windows XP's "Group similar taskbar buttons" option. Tab browsing is much better, and easier to navigate (see screen shot below).

2. Firefox has a feature where you can quickly increase font size by pressing "Ctrl+" (Ctrl- decreases the font size, Ctrl0 normalize the font size). For a very short sighted fellow like myself this feature is indispensable, especially nowadays when small font sizes seem to be in vogue for web sites!



3. Extensions / Add-ons
   The optional extensions can be very useful. For example I have a an extension where I can double click on an word on a web page and get a dictionary definition, and I have another where I can view the current tab using IE within Firefox, so even less reason for launching IE!



4. Your fave search engines are already integrated on Firefox's toolbar!



5. Security is important of course, you don't want some basts hacking the hell out of your computer. So a lot of people use Firefox in order to avoid the spywares which are mainly targeted at IE (I heard there are some targeted at Firefox also, but I haven't experienced
   any). Personally I haven't suffered much from spyware because I don't click on dodgy looking web links, and of course I have an anti-spyware program installed any way (Ad-Aware).

Well, I reckon the above reasons should be enough to Get Firefox!
