if you must IE, please IE responsibly.

According to a recent study, over half of all Internet Explorer users are not keeping up with browser security patches. IE is a bad, bad browser, but an out-of-date IE is much worse.

Firefox users, you're doing better, but 17% of you still need to step it up. Overall, about 45% of internet users are using a browser with security issues.

Please, update your browsers, folks. Help make the internet a happier place. [via]

In order to use Firefox, you need to be confident enough to download and use a browser that wasn't the default when you first turned on your computer.

seth godin thinks firefox is a gateway drug. i'd tend to agree.

you guys are a 1337 group of computer users. over half of you don't use IE. congrats.

speeding up firefox

i love firefox. really, i do. it can be speedy. it can be extensible. but apparently it can't be both at the same time... all my development plugins make it slow, and all my browsing plugins make it even slower.

how i fixed my my super slow firefox after the jump.

a few not-so-essential firefox extensions that i can't live without

a while back i posted a couple of my favorite firefox extensions. while everything i said there is certainly still valid, i've got some updates for the list.

today we're going to focus primarily on look and feel. i'm a browser minimalist, so i like to keep my windows clean and light. here are a few extensions that help with that:

starting fresh and firefox extensions...

so i'm setting up a new (and by 'new' i really mean 'old'...) laptop. i like starting from scratch. you have a nice clean slate...

of course, the first thing to install is firefox. because internet explorer is a bad, bad browser...

so now firefox is loaded, and things are ready to go... a few minutes of browsing on the interweb and i discovered the topic of tonight's blog.

several ubercool firefox extensions that i can't live without:
