Overview
Formerly known as Firebird and before that Phoenix, Mozilla Firefox is a stripped down version of Seamonkey and hence is a fraction of the download size and just plain faster to operate. Firefox is not all wrapped up with a pretty bow on top ready to instantly serve all your internet needs. The drop-down menus contain only the bare essentials. There is no built-in email client. There is no chat client. There is no instant cake mix WYSIWYG editor. It is, plain and simple, a web browser. Period. If you know what you're doing and know where you're going and would rather not be carrying around a lot of extra baggage as you blaze around from one web page to the next then Firefox is where it's at.
NOTE: To make a clean installation, uninstall any previous versions of Firefox before installing Firefox 3.0.10

Features and Extensions
One advantage that Mozilla Firefox has over its fully loaded sibling, Seamonkey, is it's ready for a high degree of customization and extensibility. The Navigation toolbar can be fully customized permitting you to not only add and remove buttons but to actually move them around and add spacers and separators.
As for extensions (a.k.a., add-ons), Firefox is a little better suited since it contains an extension manager which allows easy managing and more importantly, disabling or even uninstalling of extensions.
For your convenience, I have compiled a list of what I think are the best Firefox extensions.
