The Genious of Mozilla/Firefox
So I’ve been using Firefox/Mozilla pretty zealously and only use IE when I have to—simply because I hate using the browser now. But now I am totally sold on Firefox for one simple tool that I didn’t realize existed until now…
Live Bookmarks
When you browse to a blog (or even any website) that has an RSS feed of some sort, a little orange icon (in Firefox) appears in the bottom right corner of my browser and invites me to add that site as a live bookmark to my bookmarks. If I click it, it gives me various RSS options and then where to keep my bookmark stored at.
Here’s the cool part… if I click through my bookmarks and get to that live bookmark, it gives me the last few posts from that RSS feed and allows me to quickly see at a glance if there are any new posts. If there are, I can get to it in a SINGLE CLICK without having to type in anything or whatever.
PURE GENIOUS.
If you haven’t switched to Mozilla or Firefox, what are you waiting for?

I run something similar with a program called Bloglines. It’s a web based RSS feed agregator. You install a little notifier and it tells you when blogs you’re watching have new posts.
