Firefox 1.5 ... Irresistable.



Have you ever tried out the new browser from Mozilla?

Though I have looked at Firefox browsers on my friends PC, I was not really convinced. But itz a totally different feeling after having downloaded and used it. Itz awesome.

So whatz the secret? All but simple features bundled into a cool product. Herez a brief of what struck me the most.

• You can have a tabbed view. You need not have the problems of having different IE windows open for each site. Just swap tabbed pages and move on. So I come to the office and open the browser only once a day. For all others, you right click on the tabbed pane and say "New Tab". Ctrl + tab - enables you to move across web pages (between tabbed panes).

• The find toolbar. A super-cool find toolbar pops at the bottom of a web-page (or rather a web-tabbed-page), where in you could type the search criteria. It gets immediately marked in the page. To move back and forth you need to click on Find Next and Find Previous buttons. You could also highlight them all at a time.

• Therez more. An information bar (similar to IE6) pops up whenever a page is blocked or during a restricted download. It keeps you well informed of what is happening.

• Therez a web features option pane where you can have a wish list of what patches that can and cannot be automatically downloaded.

• You also have a separate bookmark manager tool.

I would recommend you to try it once. You will then use it forever.
