Mozilla Firefox- a tad better than other web browsers
Getting the best deal for the hard earned money we pay is a must. When we pay a certain amount of money for our broadband connection, we naturally expect to get a lot of work done in a specified time. The browser we opt for plays an important role in giving us speed and results.
Mozilla Firefox, with its various features like speed, spyware protection which is built in, etc. offers the user a hassle free and fantastic browsing experience as compared to other traditional browsers which are comparitively slow and do not have some advanced features found in Mozilla Firefox.
For one thing, you can save complete web pages if you are a Firefox user. Another feature that stands out as compared to other browsers is its easy bookmark system. Being very user friendly and simple, this bookmark system helps you organize and save a lot of time while you browse or work on the net.
Mozilla Firefox is better than any other browser in its JavaScript support. A lot of popular extensions have been added to make it more interesting and user friendly. A feature not found in other browsers is that users can also post their commentson the review section and provide inputs for further improvements.
The security aspect is a point that favours Firefox over other browsers. By not offering ActiveX support, it is more secure than the Internet Explorer. Though this may be a disadvantage with corporate users who may need the ActiveX support for some of their applications, it is definitely a plus point as it eliminates a lot of exploits and consequently less vulnerable.
Features being similar to IE makes it easy for the user to switch over to Mozilla Firefox effortlessly. Keeping the features similar is quite a smart thing to do as it does not require the user to study in depth brand new concepts and at the same time providing a lot of improvisations to enhance usability.
A unique feature of Firefox in comparison to other browsers is that plug-ins and extensions can be directly downloaded from its website by the user. User can choose from a wide variety of extensions offered by Firefox as compared to other browsers like the Internet Explorer, Safari, etc.
Mass acceptance of Firefox may take time due to the preinstalled Internet Explorer on all Windows by Microsoft. A lot of users browsing from homes may not be bothered enough to change over to another browser, as one is already pre installed in their system. Winning the PC OEM support is very important for Mozilla Firefox to make it a household name.
Even though, as we saw earlier, due to being pre installed in every window, Internet Explorer dominates the scene of browsers, Mozilla Firefox stands out on a few of its important features like security, user friendliness and extensibility. Being familiar like the Internet Explorer, yet giving a host of better and improved features makes Firefox a very popular choice today.
Not surprisingly, the percentage of Firefox users worldwide has gone up by two percent in the past few months as compared to a fall in the user percentage of browsers like Internet Explorer, Safari, etc. It is a matter of time when Mozilla Firefox can win the PC OEM supportand be a part of every PC, providing its users speed, varied extensions, security and support.
