Firefox N Me

Which browser do you use? Is it Chrome? Maybe Internet Explorer (IE) or Firefox?

Well....my favorite is Firefox..its not only highly customizable with it's vast number of Add-ons...but also it supports safe and secure browsing. I'm not being prejudiced here..but web pages do load faster.

 My Add-ons include:

1. Adblock Plus  for getting rid of unwanted ads and increasing your attention span

2. Clippings is very handy...if you need to enter the same texts over n over again

3. Personas for giving your Firefox your personal touch with its huge collection of skins

4. Tab Focus which relieves you from clicking each tabs to open..with this you just have to hover your mouse over the tab..

5. DictionarySearch which lets you to check the meaning of a word simply by selecting and right clicking

6. Element Hiding Helper which let you hide a specific "element" in a web page

7. Greasemonkey which again lets you customize a web page or install "scripts" for a particular action

These are my always used Addons that increase productivity and efficiency.

I also check the "Use Small Icons" in the Customize Toolbar setting and I also place the bookmarks as just Icons without the texts, left to the Tabs. This gives you a very streamlined experience, where everything is available by just a click :) Here is the screenshot 
Your Icons or Favcons as they are called will disappear as you open more and more Tabs...but its of no worry, as you can easily access them by clicking on the Down Arrow right to the Bookmarks  as shown below:



But one thing I wished Firefox had was the built in Flash support as Chrome. Users of Firefox have to manually download and install Adobe Flash Player for watching videos or for playing online games.

Thats all!!

 Have a happy browsing :)
