Foxfire Browser - Many Features For an Excellent Browser

By:Andres Berger

The Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit organization which includes people from around the world who possess the willingness, knowledge and skill to improve the Internet experience for everyone and they do it for free. These people are the creators of the new Firefox browser that not only comes with great features for free, but also has many free additional add-ons you can download to customize your new browser.

Firefox is easy to download, install, individualize and comes with several search engines including Google and Yahoo. Some features that you may like about Firefox are:

Tabbed Browsing

You can have many web pages opened in the same window, (unlike Internet Explorer) making it easier to navigate among many pages.

Google and Yahoo Toolbars

You can use them to search at your favorite search engine without having to open the home page of any of these search engines.

Session Saving

If you need to close your browser, Firefox will save the information and the next time you open the Firefox browser you can decide to resume the session or begin a new a session.

Personalization

You can personalize your browser with add-ons and the search engine toolbars as with any other browser. With add-ons, you can add search engines, new themes, change colors, size and style of fonts and even add a dictionary or a translator to your browser.

Add-ons

Add-ons are one of the most powerful options for the Firefox Browser because you can extend the functionality of the program without waiting for the publisher to add more features to the program. You simply search for the functionality you need, and probably you will find it because many programmers are eager to get some free publicity when people start to use their plug-in, even for free (all add-ons by now are free).

Add-ons are very easy to download and with the click of your mouse, you can see your local weather report. A little message appears on the bottom of your screen off and on telling you the exact weather report. This is a great feature when you are concerned about possible storms. Another great feature is the add-on Web Developer, which provides a menu and toolbar to assist you in writing blog entries or website pages. Click a button and you have music or click a button and change the color of browser to match your daily mood. Firefox is not only easy to use it is also fun to use.

Firefox terminology is a little different from the terminology used in Internet Explorer, but the process for using items is very similar. For instance, Firefox uses the word Bookmark, which is the same as Favorites in Internet Explorer. Save bookmarks the same way you saved Favorites, when you decide to create a link to some site or page, as you browse the Internet with Firefox.
