Firefox, a distant relative of the old Netscape browser, has become the preferred vehicle for a growing number of Web surfers. More than 10 percent of news-journalonline.com users now use Firefox while IE’s share has dropped to about 85 percent. The rest use other Firefox relatives — Netscape and Mozilla, Apple’s Safari, or one of the other more obscure products available. Those numbers are probably typical of overall net usage.
Two [Firefox extensions] I like are Flashblock, which blocks all Flash content (ie ads) unless you want to see them and Foxcast, a simple little utility that constantly provides current weather info for whatever ZIP code you choose. There are dozens more tools to meet every taste — the advantage of building an open-source product than anyone can program for.
