Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Firefox is a fast, full-featured Web browser that makes
browsing more efficient than ever before. Firefox includes pop-up
blocking; a tab-browsing mode that lets you open several pages in
a single window; integrated Google searching; simplified privacy
controls that let you cover your tracks more effectively; a
streamlined browser window that shows you more of the page than
any other browser; and a number of additional features that work
with you to help you get the most out of your time online.
As more users continue to abandon Internet Explorer, Mozilla's
popular Firefox gains traction in the browser space. New version
of Firefox offers a few notable features, foremost of which is the
ability to reorder tabs by dragging and dropping them. You'll also
find a tool that lets you quickly clean up your surfing history
with two clicks of the mouse or a hot-key combo. The latest
iteration of the browser seems more responsive than it has in the
past and also is more efficient; with 10 windows open, Firefox
consumed slightly less RAM than either IE or Opera.
If you're new to Firefox entirely, you'll appreciate the other
features, including the RSS feeds, the JavaScript debugger, the
basic download manager, and the ability to search several popular
sites (such as Google) directly from the address bar. You can
easily create toolbars by dragging and dropping icons. More
technically minded users will appreciate that Firefox displays the
page source in a new window, using indents and color-coded tags
like an HTML editor. The built-in pop-up blocker is still
extremely effective, and Firefox's reuptation for tight security
is still well deserved. Anyone who's tired of IE will find more
than one reason to like this free alternative.
