A web widget is a small amount of code that can be installed easily in a web page by the user without any difficulty.

Widget is a small piece of code that can be added in any web page. When we add the widget code, our pages get some new content that is not static.

We can use HTML, Java script, flash or any other scripting language for writing widgets. Today widgets are being used by everyone including social network users, bloggers and personal website owners.

We all know what the browser is? Browser is a software that we use on the Internet to view sites. And most of the web browsers like Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Opera and Mozilla Firefox, They are available on the internet free of cost.

But since the launch of Mozilla Firefox, I have kicked all of the browsers I was using prior to it. I like Mozilla Firefox for its feature and latest automatic updates. With this browser I have been able to save myself from the load of many Software’s I may have to use. Many of the software’s that I was using prior to it, are available with Mozilla as easy Ad-ons.

The add-ons that I like about Firefox and am using are Google Toolbar, Link checker, Seo for firefox, FireFTP, StumbleUpon, del.icio.us, AI Roboform, ColorZilla etc.

Mozilla is easy to use. I love it for its speed; tab browsing feature, popup blocking, integrated search, improved privacy features and automatic updating. Since its launch, there are many versions of Mozilla are available. The latest version being available is 2.0.0.. If you are also interested in using Mozilla firefox, So go and get it.
