Firefox Tutorial I highly suggest you read Noah’s post, as he offers a lot of great arguments in favour of Firefox, including: - Tabs - Live bookmarks - Integrated search - Security - Easy install - Extensions (including a spellchecker!)
From my perspective, I will tell you how it makes my online life much easier through examples.
Tabbed browsing
I use Bloglines to read most of my news. My preferred method of reading is just to open up a folder all at once (I organize my subscriptions into folders so I can prioritize my reading). Bloglines then delivers all new posts for all blogs in that folder in a linear fashion. So, I scroll down the page reading post titles that appeal to me. If there is something I want to read more fully and/or perhaps blog on, I will middle click or Control+click to open that post in a new TAB. I have set my preferences so that new tabs open “in the background,” so to speak. Let me explain this: I tell Firefox to open the tab, but it does so by just opening a new tab behind the one I am currently reading. Non disruptive. I can keep reading without any popup or any clutter in my taskbar. |
