Mozilla Firefox wins hands down when it comes to the question of choice!!!
The fundamental distinction between Mozilla Firefox and all other web browsing software applications is that no other web browsing software application offers the freedom to choose as does the Firefox web browser. This freedom of choice ranges from the most inane aspects to the most important aspects of the functioning of the web browser. The end user of the web browsing software application can choose to relocate the tab bar of the Firefox web browser to the bottom of the web browser if he or she wants to. The end user can install as many Firefox extensions as he or she wants to incorporate as modifications in the web browser. This choice is completely unlimited and unrestrained.
There are no inbuilt limitations in the web browser as far as making modifications in the web browser goes. This freedom has led to more and more end users making changes in the web browser to enhance the functionality and productivity of their web browsing experience. Today, there are thousands of Firefox extensions available on the Internet today. Each and every Firefox extension comes along with a detailed description of the functioning of the Firefox extension and the changes it makes to the Firefox web browser. Apart from these Firefox extensions, many expert end users of the Firefox web browser have suggested various tweaks and modifications to the Firefox web browser. If any end user wants to relocate the tabbed browsing bar from the top of the web browser to the bottom of the Firefox web browser, all he or she has to do is to search the net for the suitable changes to be made to the about:config page of the Firefox web browser.
If making a change in the Firefox about:config page does not perform the trick, then the end user will have to make changes to the chrome.css file. The end user need not worry if he or she does not have any knowledge about modifying the about:config page or the chrome.css file because detailed instructions can be found on the Internet. All that the end user has to do is to simply follow the instructions and the job will be done.The modifications to the Firefox web browser can be a purely cosmetic change like relocation of the tabbed browsing bar or changing the position of the Firefox bookmark folder toolbar. On the other hand, the modification can be a non cosmetic and an essential modification like a change in the memory usage limit of the Firefox web browser to make the Firefox web browser run faster or slower as the end user desires.
At no point of time does the Firefox web browser stand in judgment of the utility and the desirability of the changes made by the end user. If the Firefox web browser’s end user wants to make a change that slows down the web browser, he or she is free to do so as long as that is what he or she wants. Recently, Internet Explorer 7.0 was praised for making modifications in the toolbars to enhance screen real estate. However, the question remains whether each and every end user of Internet Explorer would have wanted the same. An end user who prefers the toolbar display feature of Internet Explorer 6.0 has no option but to get used to the changed display feature in Internet Explorer 7.0.
Despite making many changes and despite attempting to improve the end user’s experience, the fact remains that Internet Explorer does not allow the end user to decide whether he wants to make use of a feature or not. Mozilla Firefox wins hands down when it comes to the question of choice!!!
