Wired have a great article on how to get the most out of Firefox or Mozilla; we've written articles like this in-house before. In other news, last week, the group saw a stunning 700,000+ downloads of Firefox; the sharp increase in downloads was attributed to CERN's warning against IE, and ever growing public awareness to Internet Explorer's problems.

Enter Extensions, little programs that you can add to Mozilla or Firefox to make the browser do what you want it to do. There are now close to a hundred extensions available for downloading. Most work perfectly; others are a bit buggy.
