Abstract

Surfing the web means displaying documents published in electronic format by other organizations or individuals. Each of these documents is accessed through its address which also known as it's URL.

This chapter will deal with the speedy Firefox browser which is gaining more and more popularity each day, and also challenging other very widespread browsers on different operating systems due to its cross-platform availability. One of Firefox's fortes is that you can personalize it endlessly through extensions (Section 6, “Extensions”) and themes (Section 7, “Themes”).
