Thumbs up Firefox Internet Browser

I would highly recommend everyone downloading Mozilla Firefox Web browser. It has better function ability, is more secure and has a very cool Google toolbar which checks your spelling in these forums.

Download it here: Mozilla - Home of the Firefox web browser and Thunderbird email client

thats the one sam ..
you can put it in any toolbar you want in firefox , have multiple locations for weather .......
it's pretty kool . the only thing is you might have to set it for 'manual updates'
otherwise it slows down the browser when it automatically updates .
the other good site for fishing weather i've found is this one
FishWeather.com - MD - chesapeake Wind Data

I have been using firefox for at least two years now, it is a lot better than explorer and less bugs.

Download the latest version. It has the spell check built in so when you spell a word wrong, it underlines it red. Just like in Microsoft Word.
