Firefox is the latest version of the slick new browser based on the Mozilla (Netscape) core. It offers major advantages over Internet Explorer, including:

  • Tabbed browsing - keep all your open pages in one window instead of opening endless browser windows.
  • Pop-up blocking - stop annoying pop-ups, but keep the ones you need (like Internet banking sites).
  • Invulnerability to Internet Explorer security flaws: Firefox doesn't run ActiveX applications - the entry-point for almost all spyware and adware - and because it's peer-reviewed open source, many minds are working at once on picking out and squashing flaws.
  • Inbuilt Google search toolbar - no need to download an add-on. Any computer with Firefox installed will have a simple Google search bar next to the address bar.
  • Download manager window - monitor all your downloads from one list. Pause and resume downloads later.
  • You're in control - hundreds of extensions are available for Firefox which add all sorts of features such as different visual themes and ad blocking.
