Firefox On Flames
Fun Fact:
Four out of five Firefox users say they’d recommend it to a friend.
Why Use Firefox
Many of you have asked, “Why should I use the Mozilla Firefox web browser?” While I know many of you are very used to Internet Explorer as your default browser (simply out of habit, by personal preference, or maybe you didn’t know you had a choice), I would strongly suggest that you start using Mozilla’s Firefox browser as your default web browser for any content on the web. Here’s just a sample of the reasons why:
Speed:
Switching from IE to Firefox is like trading in your minivan for a sportscar.
Safety:
Firefox’s open-source security process means they address threats faster to keep you safe online.
Easy to Use:
Firefox’s cutting-edge features are so intuitive you won’t know how you lived without them.
Customization:
Mozilla Firefox offer literally thousands of ways for you to adapt Firefox to meet your unique browsing needs.
Free:
They say the best things in life are free, and Firefox is totally, 100% free of charge.
Advanced Features of Firefox Browser:
- Pop-Up Blocking: Tired of pop-ups ruling your desktop? Wish your favorite site didn’t always pop up annoying ads offering you some free trinket? You answer is here. Firefox offers advanced pop-up blocking so you won’t have to see another pop-up again! It offers a customizable interface that allows pop-ups to launch just in case some sites require their usage, or on the odd chance you enjoy the pop-up windows from certain sites.
- Tabbed Browsing: Browsing multiple websites is part of using the Internet. But why use a new window for each site you visit? Every new window opened clutters your taskbar, and drains your computer of the resources it needs to function at optimum speed. The solution to this problem is simple: Tabbed Browsing!
Tabbed browsing not only uses a fraction of the resources a new window uses, but it also organizes all of your websites in easy to use “file folder” styled tabs. Switching back and forth between your sites is as simple as clicking on the Tab you want view. Best of all, you can open as many Tabs as you like in a single window!
- Increased Security: Ever noticed weird programs or advertisements that pop-up on your computer? Chances are, you were infested by a type of program commonly known as SpyWare. SpyWare uses security flaws in web browsers such as Internet Explorer to easily invade your computer, track your data, and deliver annoying advertisements.
With Firefox, you don’t have to put up with that kind of intrusion! Its advanced security features help prevent Spyware from waltzing in and taking over your computer. Firefox also provides full control over cookies, password storage, browser cache, and other safety features. This means that your data and web browsing experience is the safest it can be, so you can enjoy the Internet even more!
- Automatic Updates: Too busy to look for software updates? No problem! From the very beginning with version 1.5 (the latest is Version 4), Firefox checks for the latest security and feature updates quickly and quietly, every time you use the browser! If any updates are found, it prompts you when they are ready for installation.
- Customizable: Want to change the layout of your browser? Go Ahead! Want to add an extra feature to your browser, like checking your local weather? You can! New Features and customized looks are available thanks to the use of extensions and themes.
