That's what I figured.
Once of the reasons I run Firefox is the underlying architecture. As well as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, the underlying Gecko rendering engine understands and renders XUL, an XML language for creating user interfaces. The actual look and feel of Firefox is created by XUL, CSS, and widgets, with JavaScript performing the action when you select a menu item or click a button.
This just
invites people to mess with it, as you can create themes to modify how it looks, and extensions to change how it acts, and literally thousands of such things exist. I've never been terribly concerned with themes, but have dove head first into the addons pool, and an assortment are part of my standard kit. The fact that you
can do stuff like that is the principal reason I run FF in the first place. The fact that it's more secure than IE runs a distant second, as pretty much
any other browser is more secure than IE.
I have IE8, Google Chrome 11, Opera 11, and Safari 5 here among other things, but FF is my "production" browser.
At the moment, I have FF 4 and my standard profile on a ramdisk, and run things from there. Works a treat, and is quick.
