Download Firefox

Mozilla Firefox, the first open sourced web browsing software was introduced much to the delight of millions of people who were not very happy about the traditional browsers available at that time. As a result, it gained immense popularity.

Being very small in size, Mozilla Firefox is very easy to be downloaded and installed on the system. Being free for all, it was very exciting for people to install it on their systems and try it out. Being open sourced was the icing on the cake as developers all over the world could play around with the core code of this software and provide their own inputs.

Moreover, the features that it offered were attractive and the various add ons and extensions allowed people to customize their browsers according to their individual preferences.

The user of Firefox is provided with a number of search engine options like Google, Yahoo, Amazon, eBay, dictionary.com, etc which he can choose from a drop down menu.

More search engines can be found on clicking the “More Engines” option which offers a huge selection of alternate search engines to choose from.

If the user is generally browsing on the net, he can opt for search engines like Ask Jeeves, HotBot, Dogpile, etc. There are also a lot of plug ins available country wise.

Firefox also gives you the option of searching according to what the user is specifically looking for like the shopping sites, reference sites, computer sites, kid sites,etc.

All the plug-in for these sites can be installed into the Firefox search bar with just a click of a button. New search tools can thus be added to the browser in a jiffy.

The “find on page” feature of the Firefox browser helps the user to find specific terms he is looking for on lengthy web pages. This can be done by opening a new search bar at the bottom left of the browser window buy pressing CTRL – F on the keyboard. When you type in the word or a phrase you want to find, the cursor automatically moves to that particular word or phrase and also highlights it to make it convenient for the user to see.

This amazing option is a boon to users who do a lot of heavy research work on the net. If the word or phrase the user is looking for is not present in the page, the search bar turns red in colour and an error message occurs.

This tremendously useful feature makes browsing and searching for information on the internet a joyful and delightful experience with Mozilla Firefox.

Rather than giving the basic features and expecting the user to be satisfied with it, Mozilla Firefox has taken a lot of effort to develop user friendly features which they have provided as valuable add - ons and extensions in their software.

Thus, we see that the Mozilla community’s aim has been to develop a user friendly software where even the most insignificant requirement of the user is taken care of.

Mozilla makes the users feel very important and valued. In spite of being a master in this field, their humility shows through in their every aspect and gesture, showing people it is not only the monetary aspect, but their genuine interest in making the browsing experience as cost effective, interesting, enjoyable and safe as possible for the user.
