[Top 8 Browsers]

The results aren’t as clear-cut as you would think though. For Firefox to emerge number one, both of the popular web browser’s share had to be separated into version numbers. This means that technicalities aside, IE is still on top. Confusing? Not really, as the latest numbers prove that more people are switching to the latest version of Firefox.

For Mozilla, things are surely looking up.

With the sheer amount of plugins available, it certainly is possible. Let’s talk about images or, rather, image uploading right from your browser.

Fotofox is a Firefox addon that lets you upload images to online photo services such as Flickr, Zooomr, SmugMug, Tabblo, 23hq, Kodak EasyShare Gallery, and Marela.

You can tag and add titles to individual images or in batches. Aside from letting you switch between different online photo services, Fotofox also allows you to set privacy settings for your images individually or in batches.

One thing to note, is that Fotofox is basically the same as the Kodak EasyShare Companion extension so it’s important that you only have Fotofox or the Kodak extension installed. You can’t have them both.

Fotofox runs on Windows XP/Vista, Mac OS X (PPC/Intel), or Linux(i386)
