Use Firefox Like We Do!

sn_firefox If you are using Mozilla Firefox it’s likely because someone Nerdy like myself or Praz has told you to.  But you may not know why exactly you are using Firefox over Internet Explorer.  The big difference between the two is the customizing that you can do with Firefox.  There are themes, add-ons, or extensions.  Most people browsing the web  with Firefox are not using any of these and it’s a shame.  I am here to try and make it as simple as possible to jump in and make the web browsing experience much more fulfilling. 

I want to focus on add-on’s and extensions.  The problem with the add-on’s to date is that their are so many and its hard to figure out which ones are actually useful.  Now the Student Nerds have created a collection so you can use the same ones we do.

I loved AVG for a long time.  It was fairly quick, updated often but it was a little obtrusive.  I dealt with that though because the product was truly free.  About a year ago I AVG had a false positive that caused iTunes to get messed up.  I freaked out and uninstalled AVG and iTunes so nothing bad would happen to my music collection.  The next day a fix was issued but it was already too late for ...
