I have to say that I have a bit of love for the Mozilla project and Firefox. It is a wonderful open source browser that is cross platform and full of great features.

Tabbed BrowsingIf you haven't started using tabbed browsing in Firefox, you haven't found the power of the browser. Lately I've been really pleased with the two extensions:br/>Tab Mix Plus [Developer homepage?] - tabmix is wonderful. Tab Mix Plus Forums Tabbrowser Preferences [Developer homepage]- At this point, I'm not really sure which extension is better. However, at this point it looks like tab mix plus has more features than tabbrowse preferences. One thing that I really like, is having a session manager to handle browser crashes. I also like the ability to have a rowser with tabs related to what I'm working on. For instance, when I work on work, I open a set of tabs that log me into my online development toolsand company intranet. It really saves me on typing... and it helps me stay more organized. Bookmarks - Online FavoritesI love the idea of having your bookmarks follow you anywhere. I also love the idea of sharing your bookmarks with our friends.I've found a few solutions to sync using firefox. In fact, lately I've been using Google to store the bookmarks. Hover, it doesn't take care of grouped tabs at this point.... which is a problem.... but it works for instant access anywhere.
