Exploring Firefox Extensions

Gary writes "If you haven't made the switch to Mozilla Firefox it may be because you aren't aware of the great benefits Firefox has over IE. Flexbeta has posted a nice HOWTO guide on Firefox extensions; my favorite is the Target Alert extension which displays a small graphic next to links that are not web pages. For example a mailto: link will display a small envelope, a link to a PDF file will display a small Adobe icon, etc."

Great features, huh?

What, like crashing when I try to import Saved Form History and Saved Passwords from IE using Firefox's import wizard? Or maybe you mean the way that every new version is incompatible not only with the settings and profiles of the old one but the extensions too, forcing me to uninstall and delete the old version before upgrading? Yeah, those are some really cool features... hey look! It even has an Error Report thing that comes up when it crashes! Oh wait, IE has that too...

Why drag an Indian Doctor in to this??

You might have lost a job due to outsourcing, but blame it on your president/congress/CEO and spare the poor Indians!
