The Free Firefox browser is making big shock waves in the Internet. It sent the vintage giant Netscape Navigator into oblivion by grabbing its fans. Now with Google's marketing it is even set to beat Microsoft's Internet Explorer as the World's most used web browser. Today more than 300 million people use it as their web browser and enjoy its faster, safer and state of the art features and Add-ons.
So Ryan over at cybernetnews.com decided he wants to become the world's first to install 200 Firefox Add-on's at once! This is how the Firefox browser looked after installing them all. 
It had taken him 6-minutes to just start Firefox with the 200 extensions installed. But it worked! It was even usable with 2-inches of viewable area at the bottom of his 24-inch monitor.
Ryan has posted the whole interesting story of how he did it in this article with more web shots of the browser.
PS. I'm sorry to see most of my visitors to Planet Apex (almost 70%) are still using Internet Explorer. I tell you as a friend, Internet Explorer is antiquated, slow and sometimes even downright dangerous (there are all sorts of security holes that expose you to virus and spyware threats without even clicking a button). For the love of God, get with the program and install the Mozilla Firefox, which is free, and waaaay cooler.
Plus, there are all sorts of really useful, entertaining and time-saving free Firefox add-ons. It's really worth the effort to explore them, as they often allow you to do really neat things (e.g., translating a word from Spanish to English with a single mouse-click or tracking comments you leave anywhere in the Internet be it forums, website or blog's and informing you when somebody replies to them). I'm now use about 20-30 add-on's like these in my home for various tasks. (I'll write a post about them when I have time.)
Firefox is really a small software (only 5MB size), so downloading and start using takes only minutes. There are many websites to download it but I recommend you click the link or banner in my sidebar and get it from Google which is reliable.
If you have anything about Firefox feel free to leave a comment in this post or mail me at zapric(at)yahoo.com. I'll be glad to help you.

Its the best ,since its free,but IE7 seems to be getting better, i heard now its better than FF, It was build using the firefox code i heard
Hi TimesEye,
Yeah, IE7 is great. It has improved a lot from the previsou Internet Explorer 6. I sometimes use it to check how websites look in it etc when desinging or for friends. But I use Firefox for normal browser because it is safer and like I said it has so much better addons.
Interesting review and posters! I'm a Firefox fan myself!
Thanks Id, glad you liked them :)
I like FF because at it's natural state, it's pretty simple and does what I expect from a browser and a little bit more.
IE on th other hand is too sophisticated for me. It nags too much about security, which I don't like.
But to speak of how secure fire fox is, I think it's only a matter of building a set of malware writers who doesn't like fire fox before it start to experience all the drama of being attacked.
Hi Mahasen, nice to see you here. yeah, you got a point. If people were angry against Mozilla like they are angry about Microsoft maybe Firefox will be as unsafe as IE. The same is true with various Linux operating systems taunting they are virus free. The fact is hackers, and people aren't pissed about Linux and Firefox as they are with Microsoft.
But like you said firefox has this titbits in addition to security that's still not there in IE.
Sure firefox is cool, but what about: http://home.comcast.net/~SupportCD/FirefoxMyths/Link_Bomb.txt
