1. Security! and also tabbed browsing.
2, Speed
3. Firefox Extensions
4. Firefox Themes. There are hundreds of themes available for firefox.

MORE ON EXTENSIONS.. There are many many extensions. I copied and pasted a few from mozilla just to give you an idea what you can do with mozilla extensions for firebox. Makes our browsing experience, safer, faster, and fun.

Extensions are small add-ons that add new functionality to Firefox. They can add anything from a toolbar button to a completely new feature. They allow the application to be customized to fit the personal needs of each user if they need additional features, while keeping Firefox small to download.

The most popular downloads over the last week.

1. FlashGot, (4.78 stars, 265368 downloads)
Download one link, selected links or all the links of a page at the maximum speed with a single click, using the most popular external download managers for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and FreeBSD (dozens currently supported products, see http://www.flashgot.net for details).

Experts will agree: Firefox is really safer with NoScript ;-)

10. Password Composer 0.9, November 09, 2005
Generates a secure, site specific password, based on a single Master Password. This extension puts a tiny red icon left of a password entry field. If you click on this icon, the password field is overlaid with a replacement input, where you can supply a single, secure password (your Master Password). Then all password fields on the current page, are updated with a calculated, unique password (one per site). This works for regular logins, as well as most new account signup pages. The advantages are: - just one strong password to remember - passwords are unique per website, so the risk of abuse is limited to the current site only. - generated passwords are considered "strong" by current standards - the Master Password can not be reverse engineerd (there's MD5 hashing involved) Please be sure to visit the Extension's home page, and read the FAQ for more info before using!

Basically, it's like Internet Explorer, but better.

**Batpuff** · 11-13-2005, 04:57 PM

I downloaded and started using it and loved it until i couldnt post in here while using and had to switch back, it would let me enter the header but would not let me into the body of the text, so i could not reply to anything.

**ComfortEagle** · 11-13-2005, 05:43 PM

That's strange Batpuff because mine works fine on here. Maybe you downloaded a faulty version.

**Batpuff** · 11-13-2005, 06:07 PM

**thetribe** · 11-13-2005, 06:29 PM

Reizvoll uses Mozilla to access BGR and his works fine as well.

I've used it at his house, my aunt's, and my cousin's all of which have Mozilla Firefox and it never messed up on me.

Maybe you just got a lemon bat.

**Batpuff** · 11-13-2005, 06:42 PM
