Firefox - the great open source browser.
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.

Tiny drops of knowledge: NTLM authentication and Firefox
Here are some of the extensions that I find are a must have:
One big thing is that I really need spell checking when it comes to HTML forms. SpellBound does just this. SpellBound also needs a mozilla dictionary installed from here.
Tabbed Browsing
If 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 Favorites
I 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.
