Firefox is finally doing better than Internet Explorer, go to: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp for proof!
To the OP though - while PageRank toolbar is a good indicator of a page’s importance, it is only updated once every 3 months or so, so not the most accurate measure!

That was a short but very informative article. I use Firefox a lot and was searching for must-have plugins when Google search threw up this site. Apart from this article, have found lots of other interesting posts too! Have bookmarked it and even added on all available Social Networks. Looking forward to more interesting and informative blogs from you. Keep up the good work.

I have really found firefox much better than IE, for the simle facts that you have mentioned above. The page rank status is very helpful and much faster than similar add-on in IE.

Your “What makes Firefox stand out?” is kind of misleading. None of the features are unique to firefox. In fact Firefox didnt even invent them.
The InternetWorks had rudimentary tabbed browsing as far back as 1994. Opera and Netcaptor later took it up and improved it further.

Integrated search is an Opera innovation. It was added in 2000 by Opera. Now almost all browsers including IE has this feature. What Opera has in addition is create search feature. You can add new search engines by simply right clicking and selecting create search option. Adding new search engines is bit more complicated in Ie and Fx.

Sessions is another Opera innovation. Believe it or not this feature was present in first publicly released version of Opera (v2 which was released in 1996). So this is an eleven year old feature.

png alpha bending : This is an ie bug. Pretty much all other browsers support it.

However, Firefox beats Opera when it comes to addons. But, Ie 7 and Maxthon supports add-ons. However, since I dont use them I dont know if the addons you mentioned are available for Ie7 or maxthon.

Yeah! That’s true. Firefox is the best. Regarding the add-ons I like the “Cooliris Previews” most because I don’t have to visit each and every site of a search result page and I just have to hover the mouse on each one. It gives a preview of the site in a small windows. Cooliris is cooooool!
