The most popular browser on Windows
… More EditMozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser descended from the Mozilla Application Suite, managed by the Mozilla Corporation. Firefox had 24.07% of the recorded usage share of web browsers as of October 2009, making it the second-most popular browser worldwide, after Internet Explorer, which is the factory default browser on all Windows computers.
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 as of November 2009, Firefox is compatible with Windows 7), 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 3.6, first released mid-January, 2010. Firefox's source code is free software, released under a tri-license of GPL/LGPL/MPL.

My browser of choice. Chrome is a close second, but all the extensions and the fact that it is open source make it the best browser out there!
Best Browser
The absolute best there ever has been, is, and probably ever shall be.
The one and only.
It's a free internet explorer without all the clutter. It's secure, fast, easy to use and pleasing to the eye as well. The add-on feature makes it that much easier to use, too! Do you have a love for looking at Chinese or Japanese sites? There's an add-on to mouse over Chinese/Japanese characters so that you can read them! It takes surfing the web to a whole new level.
is there any other?
Firefox is an open-source software hence its more popular than any other browser and its much secure as compared to the other browsers. Its add-on feature simply rocks !!
Sure it might be a little bloated under the hood, but the extent to which it can be customized easily makes up for that
El mejor navegador con gran cantidad de complementos para casi todos los usos y gustos.
With all the add-ons available, it's my favorite web browser.
Good
I Love Firefox
Fair good browser.
I Love Firefox
