Firefox is just more than a web browser
More than 5000 ways to customize
Firefox has more than 5000 add-ons to offer. The important thing to note here is that you add any number of these add-ons to your Firefox. All these you can download and install on your Firefox. For example, there are add-ons with which, you can view the weather forecast, handle online auctions, listen to music, upload digital photos, etc. When you download these, add-ons they will be added to your toolbar in the form of icons. When you need to use any of these add-ons, you can just click on the icon. There is no need of opening a new window or tab for every task.
Browser Look and Feel
You can dress up your browser in the way, as you would like it. Firefox provides you several themes, to choose from. You can darken the control panel, or faux wood it. Apart from these, there are hundreds of other unique looks for surrounding your surfing experience. Using personas, you add a lightweight and simple “skin” to your browser, in an instant. (Personas is a project from Mozilla Labs.)
More than Add-ons
Add-ons are the cornerstone of customization, but besides this, you have several additional options for customizing your Firefox suite to the style, which you want. You can add more search engines, display diverse shapes, sizes and styles of the navigation buttons and more, and also change the toolbar preferences. All this is equally useful as the add-ons are.
Using the additional preferences, you can set up Web based mail client like Gmail to open up when you click on an address from a webpage. In the same way, you can also set up a newsreader application for the blogs, which you encounter.
