So, the last couple days I've been trying Firefox out. I've been a Safari guy ever since I got my Powerbook, but lately Safari has been acting a little slow. I'll try to load a page and it will access the hard drive for 30 seconds to a minute -- usually if I haven't used Safari or the computer for a little while.
Firefox is fast. I've been happy with it. I also love all the extensions like adblock, flashblock, bugmenot, and Forecastfox. (I'm also using the Blue Ice theme for those keeping score).
One of my 1329 email accounts is with Yahoo! mail. With their flashy new "Beta" mail (which didn't ever work with Safari but now does with Firefox) I am having to verify that I am human with a Captcha prompt.
And I'm not the only one.
It looks like if you fail the Captcha, not only does it not send your message but it erases it as well. I guess that's why they call it Beta.
Anyone else use Firefox? Have any favorite extensions?
There's also a Google browser sync extension if you want to sync Firefox between multiple computers. Cool!

StumbleUpon rocks. I've found so many bizarre/entertaining sites that I otherwise wouldn't have know existed! And I agree, Blue Ice is the bee's knees.

Oh, god! I adore Microsoft Explorer! You should really try it out. I'm so addicted to Microsoft Explorer I'm using it every chance I get when I'm not watching/Tivo-ing Boston Legal.

I bet Boston Legal fansites and fanfiction sites render much better in Explorer, am I right?
