Firefox is catching on in a big way with Web users. It is faster, more secure, and can easily be customized to look and perform just how you want it to. There are tens of thousands of add-ons, extensions, and themes to download to personalize your browser’s look, feel, and use. Whether you use the internet to blog, run a website, or just browse, there are tools out there for you.
If you haven’t tried out Firefox yet then I would highly recommend checking it out. You can download it here. Below are some extensions that will make your life so much easier.
SEO Add-ons for Firefox:
The Affilorama Firefox SEO Toolbar provides you with useful information and data to make the analysis of domains and pages super easy. You will be able to evaluate your page rank with the big search engines, check for backlinks for your site, and review your on-page details of your site.

It took my friends a long time to talk me into using it. After using it I got hooked though. I agree with you it is the best browser that there is.
I've been using Firefox for about 7 or 8 years. I previously used AOL and IE and you can probably imagine the problems I had. So, I dropped AOL and switched to Firefox, haven't looked back since. Best browser there is, hands down. Nice hub.

@Willstarr I absolutely agree, it depends what you are using it for.
I use Firefox quite a bit, but it has no 'compatibility view' like IE, so I have to switch back and forth for some websites.
