New Firefox integration with Facebook

If you've ever wanted to chat with your Facebook contacts directly using your web browser, then now you can. Thanks to this new feature of Firefox we have Facebook chat in your browser window without the need to open the social network in a tab. The idea behind this is to find out the latest news from our friends without the need to switch tabs all the time.
Besides being able to chat, also warns us through notifications if someone comments on one of our states or if we tagged in a photograph.
For now, Facebook Messenger pair Firefox is in beta, but we can still use it, for which first need to follow this link .

Internet Explorer has more and more users

Another month has ended and Internet Explorer still leads as far as web browsers use concerns, with the largest market share. Internet Explorer closed October with a share of 54.13%, well above the 19 , 99% of Firefox and Chrome 18.55% of Google . The remainder goes to other browsers such as Safari and Opera.
Something very interesting is that the browser Microsoft , when compared with its market share a year ago, has won some users, since the percentage is higher by 1.5% compared to October 2011. This means bad news for Firefox, which is down 20% for the first time in years, while Chrome is maintained in an amount which is already more than used, although its share has declined slightly in recent months.
What is your favorite Internet browser: IExplorer, Firefox or Chrome? Or maybe you prefer Safari or Opera?

StumbleUpon by StumbleUpon

StumbleUpon is the easiest way to discover interesting photos, videos, web pages and more, recommended by people sharing your Interests. Click the “Stumble!” button, to see page after page of amazing stuff you’d never expect to see. Explore more.

One final note: Greasemonkey is an add-on conspicuously absent from this list. This is because Greasemonkey is an add-on designed to replace all other add-ons by virtue of lighter, faster userscripts. Unless you know your way around userscripts, Greasemonkey is of questionable value. Once you've got the hang of Firefox add-ons, Greasemonkey is a logical next step, but it's not one I recommend most users adopt right away.
Greasemonkey notwithstanding, if you think I've overlooked a vital Firefox add-on, feel free to name it in the comments area.
