Since its release in 2005, the Firefox browser has
taken the world by storm, threatening to unseat the dominant player in the market,
Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Before the launch of Firefox, Internet Explorer had
commanded a huge 95% ownership of all net-enabled desktops. When Firefox was
finally unleashed, Internet Explorer popularity waned, slowly pushed aside by the new-comer.
Firefox promised a secure browsing experience, and innovative features such us
tabbed browsing and unprecedented extensibility, while Internet Explorer had not been updated
since the year 2000.
We at Canflix love the Firefox browser for the exact same reasons Firefox gained
popularity: its extensibility. As the browser flourished, so had the community of
ardent supporters and developers who enhanced and improved the browser with
many useful add-ons. Gradually, through the various extensions, Firefox had become
an important, irreplaceable tool for many netizens world wide.
As a show of support, and a nod to those Canflix customers that love Firefox as much as we do,
we've developed a few add-ons ourselves. These add-ons are designed to enhance the searching
experience of our vast DVD library. We hope you enjoy them!
