The Internet

Firefox is more than just a very capable web browser - its greatest strength lies in the various and sundry ways it can be customized. Between themes and plug-ins, you can put just about anything on Firefox that you want, from Twitter clients to toolbars and more. However, the new version claims to add a performance boost as well, making it one of the fastest browsers out there.

Depending on how you feel about web browsers and services knowing where you are, the new Firefox may be a blessing or a curse. Location-aware browsing tracks down your IP address, assigns a general location to it, and points you towards services and places in your general vicinity. It won’t be a completely accurate GPS-type location, but you’ll get close.
