Mozilla
Firefox is a fast, light and tidy open source web browser. At its
public launch in 2004 Mozilla Firefox was the first browser to challenge
Microsoft Internet Explorer’s dominance. Since then, Mozilla Firefox
has consistently featured in the top 3 most popular browsers globally
and this is set to continue thanks to The release of Firefox 30. The key features that have made Mozilla Firefox so popular are the simple and effective UI,
browser speed and strong security capabilities. The browser is
particularly popular with developers thanks to its open source
development and active community of advanced users.

Easier Browsing
Mozilla
put of a lot of resources into creating a simple but effective UI aimed
at making browsing quicker and easier. They created the tab structure
that has been adopted by most other browsers. In recent years Mozilla
has also focused on maximizing browsing area by simplifying toolbar
controls to just a Firefox button (which contains settings and options)
and back/forward buttons. The URL box features direct Google searching
as well as an auto predict/history feature called Awesome Bar. On the
right side of the URL box there are bookmarking, history and refresh
buttons. To the right of the URL box is a search box which allows you to
customize your search engine options. Outside of that a view button controls what you see below the URL. Next to that you have the download history and home buttons.
Great Speed
Mozilla
Firefox boasts impressive page load speeds thanks to the excellent
JagerMonkey JavaScript engine. Start up speed and graphics rendering are
also among the quickest in the market. Firefox manages complex video
and web content using layer-based Direct2D and Driect3D graphics
systems. Crash protection ensures only the plugin causing the issue
stops working, not the rest of the content being browsed. Reloading the
page restarts any affected plugins. The tab system and Awesome Bar have
been streamlined to launch/get results very quickly too.
Great Security
Firefox
was the first browser to introduce a private browsing feature which
allows you to use the internet more anonymously and securely. History,
searches, passwords, downloads, cookies and cached content are all
removed on shutdown. Minimizing the chances of another user stealing
your identity or finding confidential information. Content security,
anti-phishing technology and antivirus/antimalware integration ensures
your browsing experience is as safe as possible.
Personalisation & Development
One
of the best features of the Firefox UI is customization. Simply right
click on the navigation toolbar to customize individual components or
just drag and drop items you want to move around. The inbuilt Firefox
Add-ons Manager allows you to discover and install add-ons within the
browser as well as view ratings, recommendations and descriptions. Read

Thousands of customizable themes allow you to customize the look and
feel of your browser. Site authors and developers can create advanced
content and applications using Mozilla’s open source platform and
enhanced API.
