If you are a web developer, and don't have this Firefox extension, then you must be living under a rock. If you have an earlier version, then this is a must download. There have been a lot of new features added, as well as some bug fixes. So, what are you waiting for? download this extension NOW!!!
In an effort to
improve the quality of web browsing, and squash a crappy
browser (Internet Exploder), Google is paying $1 for
referring people to download Firefox. Why would they be
doing this? Well, Firefox is slowly gaining on IE, and is
by far the more
superior browser. I applaud Google for doing this, and
promise to do my part to get more people using Firefox.
Tabbed Browsing
Firefox allows you to view multiple webpages within the same
window by using tabs. I had first seen these with Netscape
6 (I believe), and was immediately impressed.
In Firefox, you can right click on any link, and tell your browser to open this link in a new tab. This feature comes in very handy when you are on a search page containing multiple results. Opening links in a new tab, keeps you on the search page, and you won't lose your place.
Below, I've included some helpful keyboard shortcuts for tabbed browsing:
Extensions
As a web developer/designer, I've found Firefox to be the
most friendly and comprehensive browser available.
Especially with the inclusion of the w
eb developer extension. This extension adds a
menu and a toolbar to the browser that contains various web
developer tools, such as displaying Form details, resizing
your window, validating CSS/HTML, a button to immediately
open the source code in a new window, a button to open the
javascript console, and much, much more. I highly recommend
this extension.
