I'm a big fan of using the keyboard rather than a mouse whenever possible. It's so much faster to keep my hands hovering over the keys rather than bouncing over to a mouse or touchpad to do something I can...

I'm a Macintosh user, so for years I have used Safari as my primary browser. Firefox 1.5 was nice but OmniWeb and WebKit, in my opinion, were just faster and better. When Firefox 2.0 was released I decided to give it a shot and play around again. It's a bit faster, although my non-scientific, Steve Jobs 'Boom' test tells me it's still slower. Speed is only part of the browser and Firefox came at me with extensions and better tabbed browsing.

There is a "feature" of Mac OS X that allows me to control the way my tab key works. By default when I hit tab it will only scroll between text boxes and lists. This is fine unless I'm using Firefox and trying to fill out an online form that has a drop-down field, at which point the tab key will not select it. For example: I want to buy the domain bengasm.com from Go Daddy and when I enter in my credit card info I can not tab to the State field, Credit Card type field or Expiration fields, it just jumps right past them. In the Windows and Linux builds of Firefox this is not an issue, when I hit tab I will jump from field to field including the drop-down fields. Take a peek at the video below to see how when I hit tab, I just jump right past the drop down boxes.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that everyone uses the web differently. Yet we all use one of only a handful of popular browsers to surf the web. Over time people find ways to customize their browsing experience from small changes like adding bookmarks and favorites, bookmarklets, and custom toolbars. FireFox users can take things a step further by installing appropriate Extensions to add additional browser functionality, customizing their web browsing experience. However, we're still falling far short of offering specailized web browsers for pre-defined user groups.

Firefox is one heck of a nice web browser, but Firefox with a few key extensions blows plain old Firefox out of the water. If you're not familiar with Firefox extensions, they're add-ons to the browser that increase the functionality. They can be anything from toolbars for blogging, to shorcuts for commonly used web resources like TinyURL.
