Firefox is now the most used browser in the entire world, but of course we already knew that. What is interesting though is how quickly it became so popular. If you take a look at the Browser Statistics from W3Schools, Firefox popularity rose from 18% to 27.3% in only a year (September 2005-2006). Compare that to Internet Explorer 6’s drop from 69.8% to 55.6%.

There are a lot of Firefox plugins that add cool little features to your browser, but only a few have really changed my life and the way I use my Firefox browser.

I guess writing your first blog entry is a bit like starting a presentation. As you step up the stage and realize how many strangers there are in the audience, your heart is pounding and your hands get a bit sweaty. You swallow the remaining saliva in your mouth to prevent any accidental mispronunciation of your first words. Then, your mouth widens and you say those first few words you have planned before even getting on stage…. That's a bit how I feel right now (minus the nervous breakdown symptoms).

I feel like I am speaking to a blank audience, an audience of strangers. An audience that may or may not be there and may or may not even care about what I have to say… Oh well, I have made my first post! And that's all there is to it.

That was easy
