AT THE WHEEL OF WEB2.0
|FIREFOX IS WELL placed to take advantage of the so-called Web2.0 -becoming an information broker instead of being only an application to display web pages. With its nature of being made for actively pulling content, and a very large community around it that constantly keeps improving it, Firefox has been the browser of choice for a lot of web services and it is routinely seen that developers target this browser first when releasing a new service.
The fact that it is open-source helps too; it gets extended far beyond its original capabilities with the help of add-ons made by developers and enthusiastic users.
