As a new user of Firefox, who is fast coming to appreciate it--now that I've
found the add-ons that give me back Opera's must-have features--I couldn't
agree more. It appears that no sooner have I decided to make it my default
browser, Firefox--and for no obvious reason--is planning to jump the shark
