I&#8217;ve just found it to be a better hammer, so I guess this is my list of why you should switch:<\/p>\n<p> &#8211; Favorite icons (the little icons for websites) show up everywhere. It&#8217;s mostly eye candy, but it makes it easy to identify bookmarks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The <A HREF=\"http:\/\/livehttpheaders.mozdev.org\/\">Live HTTP headers extension<\/A> makes debugging http easy. I used to use a program called naviscope, but it slowed down browsing because it tuns as a proxy server. It also crashed a lot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; View source is syntax highlighed and has good searching abilities. IE uses notepad.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The javascript console allows you to jump directly to the line an error occurs on. That&#8217;s a huge timesaver.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <A HREF=\"http:\/\/white.sakura.ne.jp\/~piro\/xul\/_tabextensions.html.en\">Tabbrowser extensions<\/A> makes tabbed browsing nearly perfect. You can save a group of tabs so when you start up your browser all the pages you&#8217;ve loaded come back. <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I haven&#8217;t been able to make it crash yet.<\/p>\n<p>Overall I&#8217;ve been very impressed with this browser that isn&#8217;t even a 1.0 yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every day I use Firefox, I find something else about it that just kicks ass.
