Firefox allows for opening multiple sites using tabs (within<br \/>\n<br \/>one instance), unlike IE that opens a separate instance of the browser everytime you open a new window. What it means is that you could be browsing 20 sites, but there is only one Firefox window. Very cool. <\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Firefox allows you to highlight your search results. When you are searching for a keyword on a webpage (ctrl+f) you can set Firefox to highlight the matches. <\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>FireFox Allows you to search dictionary.com (without having to visit dictionary.com).<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Firefox is RSS friendly. It auto-detects RSS feeds from any website and allows you to bookmark it as a &#8216;live bookmark&#8217;. Refresh the bookmark to see what&#8217;s latest (through a drop-down). <\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Firefox allows you to select text from a web page using your keyboard! Yes, you can scroll through the page using the arrow keys. Hit F7 on your Firefox and check it out.<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<p>And, migrating to Firefox is a breeze. Firefox imports your existing settings from Internet Explorer. An import wizard will run when you first install Firefox (and is also available later through the File menu, File > Import), and it imports your Favorites, options, cookies, stored passwords, and a variety of other data. This saves you time customizing Firefox to fit your needs.<br \/>\n<br \/>Also, the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.us-cert.gov\/\">US-CERT<\/a>), a division of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/dhspublic\/\">Department of Homeland Security<\/a>, recommends switching from IE to an alternative browser, thanks to certain severe security exploits in IE.<br \/>\n<br \/>So, what are you waiting for? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/products\/firefox\/\">Download Firefox now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Write to me: Suman[at]sumankumar[dot]com<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">\n<map name=\"google_ad_map_061219083751041209082400\">\n<area shape=\"rect\" href=\"http:\/\/imageads.googleadservices.com\/pagead\/imgclick\/061219083751041209082400?pos=0\" coords=\"1,2,367,28\"\/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" href=\"http:\/\/services.google.com\/feedback\/abg\" coords=\"384,10,453,23\"\/><\/map>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" usemap=\"#google_ad_map_061219083751041209082400\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/imageads.googleadservices.com\/pagead\/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-1259014363012020&amp;channel=9138153052&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=061219083751041209082400&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ftw-india.blogspot.com%2F2004%2F12%2Ffirefox-tech-writer-friendly.html\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Firefox has an in-built popup blocker.
