Want a lean and mean web browser to surf the Internet- use the Firefox web browser.
If I were asked to describe Mozilla Firefox in a single word, the word that I would like to use would be- ‘practical’.Come to think of it, to categorize Mozilla Firefox as a practical web browsing software application is the best way to describe it. Each and every aspect of Mozilla Firefox is designed to facilitate the comfort and convenience of the end user.
Each and every component of Mozilla Firefox functions to achieve only one aim -To make the web browsing experience simpler, easier and more fun for the end user of Mozilla Firefox. At no point of time has Mozilla Firefox deviated from its goal.
All that Mozilla Firefox is concerned about is to offer nothing but the best web browsing experience to each and every end user. To achieve this goal, it was very essential for Mozilla Firefox to adopt a practical and pragmatic approach to each and every aspect of the functioning of the web browser. It would not be incorrect to say that the tabbed browsing feature too is a product of this practical approach.
Recognizing that people do not like opening a large number of windows, cluttering the taskbar and not knowing which web browser window leads to which website, Mozilla Firefox offered the tabbed browsing feature to all its users. Instead of opening ten windows, all the user had to do was to open two web browser windows with five tabs in each window. Mozilla Firefox has always understood that the end user is not concerned with the technicalities.
The tabbed browsing feature was popularized by describing it as a feature that reduced the clutter on the taskbar. There are many technical advantages that the tabbed browsing feature offers. However, these features were not the ones that were prominently highlighted. Since the end user does not understand the advantages involved in avoiding 40 MB of code every time a new window opens, Mozilla Firefox preferred to focus on other advantages that the user can understand.
Soon, the user himself realized that the tabbed browsing feature speeded up his web browsing experience. Since Mozilla Firefox has always emphasized on speaking the language of the end user, each and every advantage offered where Mozilla Firefox is explained in words that the end user can easily understand.With the second release candidate of Mozilla Firefox version 2.0 out for download and inspection, it is just a matter of time before Mozilla Firefox version 2.0 is released.
A look at the release candidate is reassuring for the end users because it reaffirms that Mozilla Firefox has not deviated from its original goal- to create a simple and easy to use web browsing software application simple which does not involve any compromise on the part of the end user. The underlying philosophy of Mozilla Firefox is a mirror to the attitudes of all the persons who contributed to its development.
They were people who offered their best no matter how simple the task was. Consequently they demanded nothing but the best. Mozilla Firefox was made by quality conscious persons to cater to the quality conscious user.The reason why the developers emphasized on ensuring that Mozilla Firefox did not become a complicated bloat ware was to because a lean and uncomplicated web browser was the most practical thing to use to surf the Internet.
Even today, an analysis of all the features inbuilt in Mozilla Firefox reveals a strong commitment to practicality and simplicity. With the release of Mozilla Firefox 2.0 on the anvil, it can only be hoped that the commitment to simplicity goes on becoming stronger.
