My favorite Web Browser is of course Microsoft Internet Explorer (now Windows Internet Explorer) due to it’s aesthetic appeal. It’s the world’s most popular Web Browser. But in fact Firefox is gaining it’s market share. According to Market Share by Net Applications, 14.88% of Internet users used Mozilla Firefox in September 2007, with 14.42% using version 1.5 or higher. I guess it’s because of Firefox’s simple design and because of less crash. I’m using Internet Explorer 7 on my Windows Vista and my IE crashes often it’s really not as reliable as Mozilla FireFox.
Now, let me tell you why I hate Mozilla Firefox. First of all I hate Firefox because of its look and interface. It lacks a professional touch. And then I don’t like the name "Mozilla Fifefox" as a brand name. Now, consider Internet Explorer 7 it has got an amazing look and I Love the brand name "Internet Explorer" which is a perfect name for a Web Browser. Again, Mozilla Firefox don’t have navigational sounds. It means it do not generate a ‘Click’ sound when we click a hyperlink.
Today I find a solution to one of the above problems and I take this opportunity to share that with you. I just discovered an AddOn for Firefox called Navigational Sounds which generates the ‘Click’ sound when you click a hyperlink.

View Web searching and browsing from a new perspective-3D. The free SpaceTime Beta 0.9 simplifies surfing by organizing items in a spatial way, as you would in the real world. Web pages appear as large thumbnails, one behind the next, in a visual stack that recedes into the distance. Pages browsed by URL go into a browsed-image stack. Search stacks show thumbnails of the results listing followed by the pages it cites. Every search produces another stack. Stack float on an invisible plane. Within a stack, you can quickly move back and forth using your mouse’s scroll button. You’ll also find navigation tools in a band below the stack area. Keyboard cursor arrows let you “fly” through the 3D environment or move stacks. Double-clicking on a thumbnail maximizes it into a browsable window.
With certain sites, the application can display search in its interface rather then as normal 2D Web pages. Currently this capability works with major search engines and a number of RSS feeds. SpaceTime’s eBay search integration is the most impressive. The software isn’t a full-blown browser, though, and it requires a pretty powerful Windows XP or Windows Vista PC (Mac and Linux versions are in progress), but it’s definitely worth checking out.
