Firefox
Firefox

You've dumped Internet Exploder already, right?

If not, do it today. Mozilla.org is out with their latest update (including a name change): Firefox browser. Tabbed browsing, built in google search (full function googlebar also available), pop-up blocking, selective advertisement/image blocking, plug-ins, fast page rendering, Mac/Linux/Windows support, and something IE may never have: standards compliance.

But the best news, for web designers, is the EditCSS plug-in. Once installed you right click on any page (ctrl-click on Mac) and select Edit CSS. A little side-window opens and you can experiment with the page's CSS in real-time. Wonderful!

Very cool. Lots of nice features, and that CSS editor is great fun. However, your sat images from your weather page at http://jerryrig.com/wx.html
don't show up (same as IE), and the browser crashed on me, which I took personally. I got over it, though, and am eagerly awating the next update. Haven't quite made the leap to make it my default browser, though.

Click one of the weather sat images, come back to the page: viola!

I use Firefox on Windows, but mostly Safari on the Mac
