What is your favorite feature of Firefox?
-
I'm always using several browsers at once to test my client-side code and making sure it renders the same way in each - and i'm assuming those of you currently working on web-based projects do as well. So after a while i switched to FF for things like research and finally just didn't bother using IE for anything other than work. ----------------- Mine: 1) The combination of tabs and comfortable UI, something between IE 6 and IE 7, but with the best of both worlds. 2) Ability to view the DOM source of a selection, even on a basic installation, something IE can't do. Especially useful when you are working with JavaScript/DHTML and looking for rendering bugs or just need a quick way understand code that someone else has written, esp. with OO JavaScript. 3) The Firebug plugin 4) The auto-save feature, especially useful now with the random reboot problem Roswell:)

City Mayor, Los Angeles, CAI love the Web Developer option on the right-click context menu, I love the "Save Session" feature, I love the ability to download so many plug ins, extensions and themes, I love the spell-checker right in the browser as I type. I started using it for the Tabbed Browsing before IE decided it implement it, plus the UI is much easier to use/interact with. The only thing I don't like is that I can't get CSS to render the same in FF as I can in IE no matter how hard I try. Case in point, right now I am working on re-doing a website for a company. I'm doing it with CSS and DIV's only (no tables allowed) and when I get a page to look wonderful in IE I preview it in FF and it's nowhere close. So I work and work and finally get it fin in FF then it's broke in IE. It's a never ending cycle. But all in all, I wouldn't leave FF for IE under any circumstances.

City Mayor, Los Angeles, CACPhog[^] - thanks to Shog9 and David Stone..oh, and Greasemonkey! Apart from that, the extensions, in general, are the best thing about it. My least favourite feature is the performance...or lack of it. I really, really want to run Firefox all over, but it's just too slow starting up to use it on my iBook - it's got a 1.42GHz G4 PowerPC processor that just can't quite get Firefox started quickly enough. I use Camino (mostly) or Safari (when I need a recognised browser) instead.
