I love firefox!!!It is greatly extensible when compared to any other web browser in this world!!! You have lakhs of plugins, themes, and search engines on it.I can do any thing with firefox that the other browsers can. But the reverse is not always true!!!No offense meant to anybody... Comments welcome...
