Mozilla Firefox (formerly Firebird, Phoenix) is based on the Mozilla browser and created by a sub-team of the Mozilla development team. It has fewer features than Mozilla and uses a different interface design. Features include customisable toolbars, importing of IE Favorites, integrated Web search bar, multi-window (tabbed) browsing, source view with syntax highlighting and password manager. Mozilla Firefox also includes a basic download manager that keeps track of your recent downloads and shows which files are currently downloading. Note: As this release is still in beta and is not stable, APC strongly discourages installation of this program on production machines, and suggests you back up any important system and data files before installation. ACP cannot be held liable for any damage that you may incur as a result of using this software, and will not provide technical support for this program.
