Software Publisher's Description
Mozilla Firefox is a fast, full-featured browser for Windows that makes browsing more efficient than ever before. Firefox includes popup 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.
Review of Mozilla Firefox
The Mozilla project takes another step with Mozilla Firefox. Though the browser hides its advanced settings, you can still create modules using XML, CSS, JavaScript, and even C++. The average user can easily add toolbars. The program includes such tools as a JavaScript debugger and a DOM viewer. It displays page source as an HTML editor does, with indents and color-coded tags. You can load any bookmark in a side panel, which is useful for Web engine search results.
At 55MB for 25 windows, the browser uses far less resources than Internet Explorer but more than Opera. The built-in pop-up blocker is far more effective than Opera's, and even better than most paid standalone utilities. However, the download manager is still underdeveloped, and the multitab interface opens a followed link in a new window by default, erasing the benefits of tabs. Though the app worked stably in our tests, we don't recommend using a preview version for mission-critical tasks. For people who are ready to trade comfort for flexibility, Mozilla Firefox may scratch their itch.
