Why is Firefox one of the best Interent Browsers?

Firefox is very simple to get up and running. The 4.7MB download size will cause no pain, even for 56K modem users. Once installed, you can make Firefox your default internet browser by going to the ‘tools\options\general’ tab and highlighting the option. Without this, Firefox will not make itself the default internet browser, nor prompt you for permission to do so. Such a polite boy…! Whether it is the default internet browser or not, Firefox will coexist peacefully with Internet Explorer.

The Firefox Browser Interface

Anyone who’s used a web browser before will feel at home here. The familiar forward, back and home buttons are available, along with the address bar and the usual menu options. All buttons and tool bars are where you would expect them to be; meaning that they are in more or less the same places as Internet Explorer’s controls. Getting to grips with the Firefox browser requires no learning curve at all.

Features overview: What Firefox has to offer

Seeing as its a newer product, you’d naturally expect Firefox to boast some features that Internet Explorer does not, and you wouldn’t be disappointed. We’ll cover these features in detail later, but for now here’s brief synopsis:

popup blocking
tabbed browsing
central download manager
themed interface
built-in theme/plugin browsing and installation
‘master password’ for protecting saved web passwords
enhanced website information
