I have personally introduced atleast some 100 people to Firefox

Out of the 100 I have introduced 80 of them stuck to Firefox as they like the Tabbed browsing feature

15 of them move back to Internet Explorer as they are surgically taught that “If you want to access internet press the “E” shortcut. “E for Enternet” I really cannot help these chaps.

5 of them hardly use Internet

Of the 80% who use fire fox do not use it to the fullest.

So this tutorial is for them

What is Firefox ?

Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser descended from the Mozilla Application Suite and managed by Mozilla Corporation. Firefox had 31% of the recorded usage share of web browsers as of May 2009^[update], making it the second most popular browser in terms of current use worldwide, after Microsoft’s Internet Explorer here

Is that supposed to help me in any manner?

No, not really.Just keep in mind that it is an open source software.

What is an open source software ?

An open source S/W is in which the source code ..In other words the program code is give  out to every one to develop s/w on the program and to make it better and improve its functionality.

Okay.So how is Firefox better than Internet

Explorer ?

1.FireFox is faster than Internet Explorer

2.It uses less RAM than Internet Explorer

3.You have a variety of add on in firefox which you make them to look exactly as you want them to look

4.Firefox is a  safer web browser to begin with.

What else is better in Firefox apart from Tabbed

browsing?

Firefox is much more than tabbed browsing,it is about extentions ,Skins, themes etc,its about customization of the browser as per your own level

So what all do you recommend ?

Now that I have your attention ,I will like to take you through the most important add ons in Firefox

Adblock plus

Wait a min ..what are addon’s ?

Add ons are …as name suggests small code or snippets which you add on to the browser to make your browsing experience easier

Okay how do I add them ?

Point your browser here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

to see the list of all the add ons available

I recommend

Ad block plus Never see a ad again

Fireftp (A ftp client built right into the browser….neat huh!)

Video downloader ( to download videos from Sites like Youtube etc)

TwitterFox (Tweet as you browse)

Okay how do I install them.Can I have a video ?

Ya sure please look at the video of how to install Adblock plus.All of them are essentially the same

just click on the  “Add to Firefox” Let is install and restart ….. and you are done

Okay i get the hang of it.Where do I uninstall them

from ?

If you happen to to like any of the add on or if you think that you need more room to breath then just uninstall them by  opening Firefox >tools>Add ons>Extensions>Disable/uninstall

Are there any more suggestions for extentions?

Ya go here and have a look.

Okay cool,I am moving to Firefox?

But wait there is more ?

More ?

Ya, there are Firefox themes, which are just like windows themes, they give your browser that homely feel

Click here to see all the themes.

Is there anything else before I leave ?

Ya there is something called Firefox persona, which what basically does is dress up your firefox in clothes…

Firefox in clothes,That’s odd?

Well it is a bit hard to explain , install this plugin and try it out for yourself here

I hope after the tutorial you will move for Firefox and quit Internet explorer.

Reclaim your Online life…Do more than just web browsing.Use Firefox
