Okey, I have used firefox since I started out with Linux(firefox is compatible with Linux, Win and Mac OS). But is just recently I have been able to explore and se some of the really cool features that you can use in the browser. I took some screen shots to explain better.
The first picture is my startup screen and here we can see some of the features.
Lets start with the lower right corner.
In green (U can use any color) the current I.P number of the page I am browsing, A meaningless but still cool feature. You can have a flag insted showing the country. To the left were it says Elevated is the terrorist level for the USA. It have not yet changed, still yellow. There is 2 higher and 2 lower levels.
To the left we have the controllers for almost every MP3 player you kan think of. This is a very good feature since it is integrated in the browser and doesnt take upp any desktop space.
If we now move to the upper right corner we have the black circle a link to firefox homepage. A google bar we have also. The blue star shows the most recent 50 pages I have visited.
The second image shows another very cool feature. When I write in the search bar, google suggests words and show the number of hits a current search has. Really cool!!
The 3rd picture shows the results from the search and yet another cool feature, you see a preview of the pages, that is awsome IMO. Makes it very easy to find what you are looking for.
This one shows the weather feature. As you can see the weather aint super here in Sweden. Just take the mouse over to get the temperature and more, There is for several days, from 1 to 9. I find 4 good enough.
This one shows TXB and the meny for choosing media player.
Notice that when I open a new link there is different tabs so I can switch between different pages easy.
This one illustrates the ftp client and how it works. I like it a lot, very easy and it has many nice features.
This one shows some pictures downloaded from the previously visited site and there is a pictureviewer so I can tell the program to slideshowthe for me. NICE!! Notice the little link preview picture. When I take the mouse over a link it shows a preview of the link. Also cool IMO.
The last one shows what kind of plugins I have used and the settings meny for the linkpreview feature. I have 17 extensions and a skin. There is thousands of extensions out there for this browser. You can always find something for you.
I have to say that if you have not tried it out yet, you should. You wont regret it! It is fast, it is good looking and it is open source, this thing is evolving fast!!!!
Its for free and it ROCKS IMO. Hope you all try it out. Any questions or suggestions for great extensions please post here. Over and out!!
