Firefox 13.0a2 Aurora / 12.0b1 Beta / 11.0 Final Publisher's description
Written by Bogdan Popa on October 11th, 2011
You're not an avid computer user if you've never installed Firefox. This innovative browser developed by Mozilla has grown a lot in popularity in the latest few years, becoming one of the main alternatives for Internet Explorer, the software solution that's being integrated into the Windows operating system.
Firefox is now available on multiple platforms, including Mac OS X and Linux, as well as portable devices, so it has to be something really special about it since so many people are using it.
First of all, installing Firefox is just as easy as feeding a hungry pet, so it's only a matter of seconds until you actually manage to browse the Internet with Mozilla's application.
The first contact with Firefox might however be surprising. It comes with a tabbed interface so opening multiple pages in the same page, at the same time, isn't a problem anymore. But what's under the hood is what really makes the difference.
Firefox is amazingly fast and blocks pop-ups, viruses and spyware, but also gives the user an extraordinary power of customization through a well-developed add-on manager. Basically, you can change almost everything in your browser, starting with the way it looks and ending with features and functionality.
Mozilla lets you install new themes and so-called Personas that change the appearance of the main window, as well as plug-ins and extensions for adding new features to the application. Basically, there's an add-on for everything, and no matter what you're willing to do, Mozilla is there to help you.
Last but not least, just like the latest iterations of Internet Explorer, it comes with integrated search, powered by Google, that can be also switched to Yahoo or a different search engine. Firefox is very light on computer resources and it also works without a glitch on older computers as well, and the only performance problems that might occur are caused by the multimedia content of the websites you're attempting to visit.
During our test we were obviously satisfied with the way Firefox worked and there's definitely nothing to complain about. Everything works like a charm and, together with a few extensions and themes, there's no doubt that Firefox is a must have.
Here are some key features of "Firefox":
* Comprehensive popup controls to keep unwanted advertising off your desktop;
* A tab browsing mode that lets you open several pages in a single window, allowing you to load links in the background without leaving the page you're on;
* Integrated search (powered by Google);
* Industry leading accessibility with Find As You Type - find links and page text by simply typing;
* Simplified privacy controls that let you cover your tracks more effectively;
* A streamlined browser window that lets you see more of the page than any other browser while at the same time being more configurable;
* A large variety of free downloadable extensions and themes that add specific functionality and visual changes to the browser.
Requirements:
* Pentium 233 MHz (Recommended: Pentium 500MHz or greater)
* 64 MB RAM (Recommended: 128 MB RAM or greater)
* 52 MB hard drive space
