Every Firefox user is duty bound to make good use of the features in the Firefox web browser!!
In my opinion, it is essential for each and every user of the Firefox web browser to learn about the operation of the web browsing software application. A person who downloads the Firefox web browsing software application, installs the same and uses it without learning about its functionality and without making use of its fantastic features is a person who is wasting the immense advantages offered by the Firefox web browsing software application. If any end user uses the Firefox web browser software application without giving any thought to the various features offered by it, he or she may just as well use any web browsing software application other than the Firefox web browser.
That is not to say that the Firefox web browser does not support such ordinary browser usage. All by itself, the Firefox web browsing software application is can be used with great ease and comfort.
A person who wants to customize the functioning of the web browsing software application will choose Mozilla Firefox because of its versatility. On the other hand, any end user who does not go wish to go around tampering with the basic structure of the web browsing software application and any person who desires to simply use the web browsing software application as it is to surf the internet will find the Firefox web browsing software application more than sufficient.
However, it is my personal opinion that not making use of the fantastic features of the Firefox web browser is a criminal waste. Considering the scary past where the users of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer were forced to make do with what the web browser offered to them, any person who does not make use of the advantages offered by the Firefox web browser is a person who is not keen on the development of the web browsing market.
The best part with the Firefox web browser is that it lets the end users themselves to determine the future features of the web browsing software application. The ‘Tab Mix Plus’ Firefox extension offered the option of restoring web browsing sessions when the web browse was not shut down properly. It was just a matter of time for the developers of Firefox version 2.0 to realize that the session restore feature ought to be included in the original web browser itself. Now, Mozilla Firefox 2.0 has an inbuilt session restore feature that does not require installation of any external plug-in or Firefox extension. Had the end users avoided using the Firefox extension features, the developers of the Firefox web browsing software application would have found it very difficult to anticipate the changing needs and requirements of the end users. Hence, utilizing the features of the Firefox web browser is not just an option but a duty upon the end user of the web browser.
Another feature that was originally offered by the Tab Mix Plus option and which found its way into the upgraded Firefox 2.0 was the feature of having a close button on each and every tab opened by the end user. The developers of the Firefox web browser, after incorporating the feature of a close button on each and every tab, realized that the option of undoing an accidental closure of a tab ought to be incorporated in the Firefox web browser as well. It would not be incorrect to say that the Tab Mix Plus Firefox extension was the seed of these new features incorporated into Firefox 2.0 Not using the features of the Firefox web browser is equivalent to shooting oneself in the foot. It is the end user who suffers in the end.
