… More EditMozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser descended from the Mozilla Application Suite, managed by the Mozilla Corporation. Firefox had 22.51% of the recorded usage share of web browsers as of July 2009, making it the second-most popular browser worldwide, after Internet Explorer.
In 5 months, Firefox has gathered steam and now owns more than 25% of usage share of web browsers closing the gap between it and IE.
To display web pages, Firefox uses the Gecko layout engine, which implements some current web standards plus a few features which are intended to anticipate likely additions to the standards.
Firefox includes tabbed browsing, a spell checker, incremental find, live bookmarking, a download manager, and an integrated search system that uses the user's desired search engine. Functions can be added through add-ons created by third-party developers, the most popular of which include Adblock Plus, Video DownloadHelper, NoScript, Personas, FlashGot, and Greasemonkey, along with many others.
Firefox runs on various versions of Microsoft Windows (version 3.5 supports Windows Vista and XP; although not officially supported, Firefox is compatible with Windows 7 RTM), Mac OS X (10.4 or later officially supported), most Linux distributions, and many other Unix-like operating systems. Its current stable release branch is version 3.5, first released on June 30th, 2009. Firefox's source code is free software, released under a tri-license of GPL/LGPL/MPL.

Best web browser ever. His incredibly good addons and its freeware quality make firefox a most for any worldwideweb lover.
Love the new features. I love this whole free internet services concept.
I'm not quite sure why Firefox has caught on as well as it has vs. superior browsers such as Opera and Safari. Both performance and feature set are inferior to Opera. That said, Firefox tends to be compatible with a lot of "quirky" sites that Opera chokes on. Also, Firefox has the best in-page search functionality of all current browsers.
Th peformace is not very well but the interface is very wel even it has many features.
The best browser ever. Fast and free!
Best Browser Ever, =)
I use a lot of other browsers (don't ask why).
Compared to FireFox, they all suck.
Not just because of the add-ons. Just because FireFox is king.
One word - addons. That's all what you need.
good browser
There's a whole bunch of addons for Firefox, but not all of them are useful or work properly.. This can of course be because most of them are third party generated, but Firefox itself is complete enough for most people to get by without having to download any addons.
Sometimes a bit more sluggish than that of Safari and Chrome, although bearing a much larger burden in the form of add-ons and customization. Definitely one of the best browsers available.
Superior web browser is superior.
Firefox is the best browser available today. With thousands of different addons available to customize your browsing experience, you can create the environment you want when you want it.
The addons available for it are what make it an attractive browser.
this is the best internet browser after internet explorer!!!
