Firefox is a great browser, but one of the the biggest annoyances with Mozilla is the Add-On support for beta versions.

Do you love listening to Pandora but hate the fact that you have to leave your browser open?

As I’m sure ALL of you are aware by now, Microsoft introduced an infamous Ribbon Menu system with the launch of Office 2007.
