Free Software You Can't Live Without Vol. 6 - Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox

When it comes to surfing the web, Firefox is king.  Each of the major internet browsers on the market have a hook and mange to fill a niche but none of them manage to have the combination of features that Firefox does.  The one thing that Firefox does better than any other browser is customization, you can literally make this program do ANYTHING you want because of the slick plug-ins available.  These plug-ins cover just about anything you could possibly need from a web browser and keeps it very simple to use regardless of your operating system which makes this an excellent program for making the switch from Windows to Linux.  The only real issue I've seen is some occasional issues when using some of the plug-ins in conjunction with Facebook games.  A minor quibble and I find that Google's Chrome browser is a fine companion to Firefox if you ever run into an issue such as this.  A final note to the true nerds out there, you can tweak the code of Firefox to maximize its performance which is just plain awesome.  Simply put, if you have a computer and surf the web, you NEED to have this installed on your machine as your default browser.  Especially since it's free.
