Hi,
Check out Firefox Extensions too ... There is the biggest resource that browser has. . .
If it is a bit unstable, or jams, stops your surfing download such extensions like no script and flashback. They are awesome.

I will update it Keo Cola but we're not like other listing sites, we concentrate on bringing you *new* listings.
We don't pad our new additions page with updates either, everything is new there or occasionally a *major* update to a program we first listed years ago. We think this is the best use of our time especially with programs that are in ongoing development like Firefox. We only link to their websites so our visitors will get up-to-date info & download the latest version there.

Firefox is awesome. I've been using it for almost two years. I have also tried quite a few extensions/add-ons. About a month ago I found a wonderful feed reading extension called Wizz RSS News Reader. Wild horses couldn't drag me away from Firefox now :)

Bender we have it listed here . We have linked to the *author's* website because there is much more information there about the features of this add-on than there is on the Mozilla site.

Firefox used to have no rival, now it's not worth a download.
Pros:
There may be some, but after a few weeks I have not found any. I cannot find one feature I want in 3.05 that is not in 1.5. I cannot find one feature that is better on 3.05 then on 1.5.
Cons:
1. Organize Bookmarks in version 1.5 is intuitive and easy to use. That version of Organize Bookmarks is gone. Version 3.05 'Organize Bookmarks' is very user un-friendly.
A) I created folders that show in Organize Bookmarks, but do not appear and are not accesible under Bookmark This Page.
B) I must now 'cut and paste' bookmarks in order to move them. Same with folders.
C) Organize Bookmarks is now so difficult and non-intuitive, it just irritates me every time I have to use it.
2. You can no longer export Bookmarks. You can Back-Up Bookmarks, but that is not the same as Exporting. The Back-Up produces an image that is unreadable and un-usable by anything except Firefox 3.05. You can IMPORT that image into Firefox 3.05, but not into any other web browser, including older versions of Firefox. I used to be able to export my bookmarks to a folder (as a back-up). Then, when I click the exported image, it would open in whatever browser is set as the default browser. I would then have a list of web-sites. For example:
Star Trek: The Next Generation: TNG The Complete Series - eBay (item 110333292279 end time Jan-07-09 21:34:52 PST)
eBay: Find Star Trek: The Next Generation: TNG The Complete Series in the DVDs Movies , DVD, HD DVD Blu-ray category on eBay.
etc.
That serves important purposes:
A) I can share bookmarks with others, regardless of what Browser THEY choose to use.
B) I can back-up bookmarks from my notebook, and transfer them to my desktop; or I can open my bookmarks from last month, or from two years ago, and see exactly what I had Bookmarked. Most of the time, I only want to Import 5 - 25% of the Bookmarks, and I could do that by going to the page (on the Internet) and then bookmarking my desktop browser.
3. Bloatware! Sure, the download file is only 7 MB, but the installed size is 24 MB! (I looked in the Add/Remove Programs, when I removed 3.05). The installed size of Opera is only 6 MB! Even the supposedly bloated Microsoft product, IE6, is LESS THEN HALF the size of Firefox. Ha! Ha! Ha! That doesn't matter, it is just funny.

As a bookmark manager you can use Advanced URL Catalog. I use it to organize my bookmarks in FF.

OK, I need to revise my opinion of Firefox 3.05. Organizing the Bookmarks is still a major pain, but I'm willing to live with it.
I read that you CAN still export Bookmarks, but now you have choose "Export HTML", which I would never have guessed. I thought HTML was the <code> tags for web sites. Oh well.
I do miss the e-bay negs add-on, which works from version 2.0 on back, but not on 3.0.

35 HTML stands for 'hyper text markup language' & it is used to create web *pages*, not necessarily web *sites*. Bookmarks/Favorites are clickable web links, Firefox & Internet Explorer used to store them as a web page that you could navigate to in Windows Explorer, click on & it would open in your browser. It was easy to find, easy to use & easy to backup.
Too easy maybe?!?
Now you can navigate to where your Bookmarks/Favorites are stored, click on any link & it will open the link in your browser BUT the whole lot are no longer in an accessible page :( Theoretically Firefox allows you to create a backup in the form of a web page - "Export HTML" - but *I* can't get it to work!! It opens the save window & appears to save but when I go back into the folder there's no file there :(
Organizing my bookmarks is OK, you can drag 'n drop a bookmark all over the place either from a browser window or by going into Organize Bookmarks. My problem is backing up my bookmarks in HTML format so that they are portable or can be used in another browser & also synchronizing them with my laptop.
The Firefox add-on Foxmarks saved my sanity, it's great!!

Best open-source web browser I've used. Whenever I use Internet Explorer to download files, if I want to resume downloads I have to download a separate download manager; Mozilla Firefox already has one. In my opinion, it's more secure than IE, more customizeable than IE, and simply better overall.
