Boyzoid's Blog & Stuff

I have been using the FireFox web browser for a few months. I was first introduced to FireFox by a co-worker (Thanx, Joe). I have to admit, I tried it only to be nice. I figured after the 'neatness' factor wore off, I would return to my role as an IE drone.

I could not have been more wrong. I love FireFox. And what the developers did not think to add, other people have. FireFox has the ability to add 'extensions'. Extensions allow you cutomize your browser, and add functionality that would otherwise not be available.

By far, my favortie extension is 'Web Developer'. This extension allows you to:

• Outline block level elements (I love this because I use CSS for my layouts)
• View Class and ID information
• Disable Styles

There are other reasons why I like this extension, but these three are the ones I use most When trying to figure out why your page does not look like it should (when using CSS for the layout), the 'Outline Block Level Elements' becomes an invaluable tool.

Another great feature (not extension, but feature) is described by my friend Doug in his blog.

If you haven't heard of FireFox, or where thinking of giving it a try, go ahead. Most likely, you will not return to your current browser, I haven't.
