I’ve been using Firefox ever since I studied Information Technology. People in our school always use IE, but when I started working I hated IE because of it’s different standard on website design codes. When I shifted from web designer to SEO specialist, that’s the time when I get to love FF more and more. The add-ons and their themes are really good that it suits whatever preferences you want. I will soon share some of the tools and Firefox plugins that I always use on my Resources page. Get your FF3.5 now!
