If you confront Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, there can only be one winner. However, Firefox is not the only alternative to the Microsoft’s browser.
Firefox is not the fastest browser, it is probably not the most modern one as well. Nevertheless, I claim it is the best choice for you. The power of Firefox is in its enormous flexibility and reciptivity to customization. Hundreds of add-ons and themes are available.
The browser is absolutely usable. But without a big effort you can broaden its capabilities. If you want, it can be something more, than what you initially get. Treat time spent on changing Firefox as an investment. Once you accommodate its looks to your taste and enhance its additional capabilities, you’re going to save much more than it takes to adjust Firefox to personal needs.
You can change whatever you want. In this website, I will try to show you, how to do it. Basically, two primary improvements I am going to describe are changing Firefox’s looks and adding extra capabilities to it (mainly by installing and configuring extensions).

Change the way Firefox looks
You should start with choosing a theme for you. And that is the only thing most of Firefox users do. But there is much more things worth changing.
You can change default fonts.
I will describe, how to edit menus and remove the options you do not use.
I am going to go through customization of the interface. You can move toolbars, modify their looks, make Firefox look clearer or more compact.
You can change the way you see certain webpages while using Firefox, starting with removing ads and finishing with changing the websites’ layout.
These are some main points but really, it is only up to you how far you want to go and how many things you want to change. It only depends on your patience, needs and imagination. -
Firefox engine customization
I will describe how to modify the behaviour of the browser for users of different level of experience. You can adjust basic features using option menu. But you can also modify about:config page and files in your profile.
And finally, you can equip Firefox with hundreds of useful tools by installing extension. It can be your FTP client, the best possible web development tool and many, many more.
It is not possible to describe it all at once, so in order to learn more - just start reading the posts.
