Reasons why you should Use Firefox
posted September 20, 2009 - 6:13pm
For many years I have been using the Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE), not because it was the best, but because I didn't have a choice of another browser more efficient. But one good day I came across Mozilla’s Firefox. Now that I use
Mozilla’s Firefox, my online experience has been more enjoyable and productive. Here are some of the major reasons I use Mozilla’s Firefox.
1. It is free.
Yes, you heard well. Free!You don’t need to pay a dime to download it. It is a product of a non-profit organization (the Mozilla foundation)funded by donations from happy users who have downloaded and love the Mozilla’s Firefox.
2. It’s easy to work with.
Mozilla’s Firefox is very easy to work with. You can easily locate tabs and features that you need and also any type of color you want for your page. All new features are available on the Firefox website for free as download-able extensions.
3. It is safe and secure
Windows and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer contain a program or software called the ActiveX controls, which allows updates of the browser whenever you are online, and this may also serve as an opening for computer hackers to have access to your computer system and add dangerous software to your computer. Mozilla’s Firefox does not allow ActiveX controls so your computer is safe and secured.
4. It can be customized.
Have you ever wished you could change the way your browser looked? Have you also wished your browsing page could look different from every other person's page?Well your wish has just come to pass, because with the extensions found in Mozilla’s Firefox browser you can easily add all the functions you like and can also choose from the diverse options available. These Extensions are features that makes it possible for you to customize or configure the browser to your taste and needs.
5. It has tabbed browsing.
If you are the type that likes to open five to six websites at once, then here is another great news for you. Firefox’s tabbed browsing allows you to move from one website to the other by just clicking on the tab which is located at the top of a single window or screen. With Mozilla’s Firefox you don't have to go through the stress of minimizing and maximizing windows to view other websites.
6. It runs on various computer platforms.
Mozilla’s Firefox works perfectly on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux computers and takes up little disk space or memory.
7. Mozilla’s Firefox blocks pop-up windows.
Mozilla’s Firefox blocks pop- ups automatically, but also allows you to choose websites you want to permit to display their pop-ups. So depending on how you configure the browser to work, the browser would show you an information icon to inform you that a pop-up has been blocked.
8. Web Search made easy.
With the Mozilla’s Firefox , you don't have to type in search engine like Yahoo and Google in different tabs, because they are already included in the control bar. You can also choose to do your internet search using several pre-installed search engines or even add another search engine of your own to the pre-installed ones. Could searching the Web be any easier?.
So what are you waiting for, download Firefox now for Free and enter into a new online experience.

Firefox
Since the day I used Firefox I have never looked back on IE .
Another point which could be added is that since it is Java based it does not crashes as IE does
Been Using Firefox For Years
It's been a couple of years since I've first downloaded Firefox. I've been a dedicated user since. I recommend Firefox to just about everybody I know, mostly for the reasons you state in your article. Firefox is a great browser and you can't beat the price. +1
