The free, open source Web browser Firefox is chipping away at Microsoft Internet Explorer, in part because it includes unique features such as "tabbed browsing." That allows you to open many web pages at once in a single window, and easily switch from one page to the next.

Microsoft hasn't improved its browser in several years, and a major upgrade isn't coming any time soon.

With apologies to the MTV car improvement show "Pimp My Ride", it's a process Dwight calls "Pimp My Browser."
