Yet the aspect that likely attracts the most attention is the browser’s excessive level of security. Users can restore sessions after closing tabs, prevent pop-ups with an ad-block, and even customize the toolbar to make browsing more efficient. Nevertheless, Mozilla Firefox does offer a host of other great features that make it an incredibly competitive web browser. Thus, users who encounter a host of problems often find themselves without any means to remedy the issue. However, the negative aspect of having such a community-driven browser is that it lacks support. As a result, users can find add-ons for nearly any purpose, in nearly any niche. Due to its open-source coding, developers and web firms have created countless add-ons and modifications. Mozilla Firefox is a community-developed web browser that is wickedly fast. Thankfully, Mozilla Firefox is just the web browser to satisfy those needs. Although many of the new features are available with plug-ins anyway, this is still a rip-roaring browser and consolidates Firefox’s position as the best browser on the market by miles.Everyone loves speed when it comes to technology, right?įaster browsing, faster downloading, and faster searching.
Whilst the recently released Internet Explorer 7 is only just introducing tabbed browsing, Firefox 2.0 is already taking internet surfing to a new level. This resulted in frequent crashes, keyboard head-banging and violent swearing. The legendary memory leak also still doesn’t seem to have been fixed as Firefox continues to guzzle processing power. The extension incompatibility issue is the main drawback although this will change as developers update their plugins over the coming weeks and months. The automatic session retrieval option (previously available with the Tab Mix Plus plugin) is also a tonic when your system crashes or you’ve got too many tabs open and Firefox cripples under the strain. One of the most useful features we found was a predictive search function within the Google toolbar that would suggest potential phrases and popular search terms as you typed. Other goodies include enhanced tabbed browsing (each with their own close option finally), the ability to un-close tabs, search plug-in/add-on manager, and much, much more. Amongst the security highlights of 2.0 are anti-phishing support which helps the browser discriminate between genuine websites and those intended to store and retrieve your personal information.
