Firefox is AWESOME!

Mozilla has released the Firefox browser.  It was designed based on the open source code from Netscape.  It is small, quick and open source means there are many programmers fixing bugs quickly.  You can download it free and it is well worth the effort. 

Some of the coolest features are:

• Extensions - Cool tools that you can add to the browser - like current weather, add blocker, autocopy.
• Themes - Creative ways to easily change the look and feel of your browser - really for the artsy crowd.
• My favorite - Tabbed Browsing.  Open up multiple pages - even from your start page. 

Hope you enjoy!
