fire my fox baby!
I just couldn't be more excited about the Firefox Web Developer Toolbar
If you're a web developer, you owe it to yourself to download Firefox, and this toolbar. It takes a lot of the hassle out of designing with CSS, if you don't tend to use a WYSIWYG HTML editor. Just mouse over a region to see what classes or id's are controlling the formatting of that region; click the Edit CSS button to... you guessed it, edit the stylesheet, right in a separate pane in your web browser. See the changes instantly. Not sure if it supports FTP as a method of saving said changes...
It also does a whole huge passel of other useful stuff, like size your browser window to 800×600 with the click of a button, outline all the table cells on a page, or block level elements, and it'll rock your baby to sleep and wash your car, too.
Oh, just go read the page and download it already!

Firefox pretty much rules. It's the first browser that comes close to matching the speed of IE under windows. Even if it's a little slower in a few cases it's still better than dealing with endless IE security holes.

besides, tabbed browsing makes all non-tabbed browsers moot.
oh, right, there's only one "current" browser left that doesn't have tabs.

Yeah for Firefox!
The latest version incorporates "mouse gestures" which were yoinked from Opera.
I don't know much about .html, but as I try to learn for the Archer Pelican, I'm sure I'll be delighted to use the Firefox WDT. Thanks for the description! I didn't know what it was for until you told me.
I use Thunderbird (Firefox's sister product) for email.
Thunderbird and Firefox both make me very happy, though they do have some flaky bits. I keep IE on my Taskbar for such occasions.

Tabbed browsing! Tabbed browsing! Rah Rah Rah!
I am Mac and use Safari, but we have Firefox too. Anything but IE!

ok, so a) your comment won't post right away because i have to approve it first and b) you might get a server error but your comment probably posted anyway and c) previewing doesn't work so i've removed the preview button.
