Mozilla Firefox is better than IE because it is aware of its own limitations and restrictions!!!
The Firefox web browsing software application is doing all it can to make the World Wide Web a safer place for the end users of web browsing software applications. Of course, the Firefox web browsing software application cannot prevent viruses, Trojans, the hackers and persons with malicious intent from existing on the internet. However, the Firefox web browsing software application has successfully enhanced the security and protection enjoyed by the end users. While the viruses and Trojans may exist on the internet, the Firefox web browsing software application forms an effective barrier between the end users of the web browsing software application and all these malicious elements on the internet. That is one reason why many end users are very comfortable making use of the Firefox web browsing software application. That is the biggest difference between the Firefox web browsing software application and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. When an individual makes use of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, he is always aware of the fact that he is utilizing the security measures incorporated by an individual whom he does not even know. He is always aware of the fact that the security measures incorporated in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer may be completely unsuitable for him. In case of the Firefox web browsing software application, the scenario is different. It is not that the developers of the Firefox web browsing software application have the ability to understand the requirements of each and every end user of the web browsing software applications. No!!! That is not the case!!! The developers of the Firefox web browsing software application are not fortune tellers. The developers of the Firefox web browsing software application have simply allowed to each and every end user of the web browser to determine his or her security configuration.
How is this possible? This is possible by simply making use of the Firefox extension feature. All one has to do is download a Firefox extension that alters the security configuration of the Firefox web browsing software application. The Firefox extension may enhance the security measures or may relax the security measures. The Firefox extension may place special restrictions on certain types of end users and may offer special privileges to certain other end users. What exactly will the Firefox extension do will depend on the individual choice of the end user of the Firefox web browsing software application and individual security requirements of the end user.
This is one feature that has always been absent in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. In fact, this is probably the reason why the Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browsing software application has always been criticized for being an unsafe browser. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browsing software application would have never been called Internet Exploder had it enabled each and every end user to alter the security configuration as he or she desired. However, the Firefox web browsing software application happens to be the only web browser that offers this independence to the end users. Further, the developers of the Firefox web browsing software application have not offered this independence as a privilege. This independence has been offered to the end users of the Firefox web browsing software application as their right. It is unreasonable to expect the developers of any software application to cater to millions and millions of end users at the same point of time. Generalizations will have to be done and there always will be a possibility that the generalizations adopted by the developers may be unsuitable for the requirements of the end users. The developers of no other web browsing software applications have provided for this particular possibility. Only the developers of Mozilla Firefox have ensured that the end users are protected in this regard.
