Fire up the Fox
Microsoft has improved Internet Explorer but rival Firefox still has an edge over it. Here are five areas where Firefox offers a better browser experience.
1. Look and feel
Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), the latest iteration of the dominant Web browser, still does not come with themes. With Firefox, you can choose from nearly 400 themes. From animal cartoons to retro computer icons, there is bound to be one that will tickle your fancy.

2. Spell check
If you are a frequent user of free Web e-mail services such as Gmail,Yahoo Mail and MSN Hotmail, use Firefox’s built-in spell checker to ensure your e-mail messages are free from spelling gaffes.
Firefox automatically checks the spelling of words as you type into text boxes that allow more than a line of text. They are checked against an installed dictionary, it will be not found in the dictionary, it will be underlined in red. The language packs available include British English, Arabic, French and German.

3. Profiles
Unlike Internet Explorer, Firefox lets you retain your bookmarks, passwords and extensions when you switch to a new PC. Just back up the Profiles folder found at the following locations (it is a long string so be careful when you type).
For Windows Vista users:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
For Windows XP users:
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
Next, launch Profile Manager by typing “firefox.exe -ProfileManager” in the Start search box (for Windows Vista users), or the Run dialogue box in the Start menu (for Windows XP users).
Then, create a new profile and select a folder to store it in. Exit Profile Manager and replace the files from the new profile folder with those from the backed up profile folder.
4. Add-ons
Add-ons are software enhancements created by third-party developers that you can install on top of Firefox. While IE8 now supports add-ons, Firefox’s extensive collection of add-ons could take a while for Microsoft to match.
Popular add-ons include GreaseMonkey, which lets you use small bits of JavaScript to customise the way a web page is displayed, and Adblock Plus, which gets rid of online ads and banners.

5. Download Manager
Firefox has a basic download manager that lets you look at the files you have downloaded or resume your downloads if the Internet connection was interrupted.
Though it may not be as sophisticated as add-ons such as DownloadThemAll, it is a useful tool that is still lacking in Internet Explorer.
