9 feature of Mozilla Firefox as your browser:-

Free, fast, and fun to customize, the Firefox browser has only been out since 2005 but has already been adopted by more than 10 million people many of whom were rattled by Internet Explorer's vulnerably to malicious tampering. So what makes Firefox so great? For one thing, it can do just about everything Internet Explorer can do, and then adds these chocolate sprinkles on top:-

1. Cross-platform:- Firefox is available, in nearly identical versions, for both windows and Macintosh.

2.Better security:- Internet Explorer allows the use of little bits of code called ActiveX controls to run Web-based games and other interactive features, but Firefox doesn't. So when rogue programs or spyware try to install themselves on your machine through your Web browser, Firefox slams the door shut. After a flurry of IE-related security incidents, some experts even advised people who use Windows to ditch Explorer altogether and run with Firefox.

3.Pop-up blocking:- Pop-up pesky extra windows that multiply all over your screen on behalf of an advertiser or worse make browsing more aggravating than it should be, but Firefox blocks them from even opening. (The latest versions of Internet Explorer can block pop-ups as well. Safari also wields a pop-up shield.)

4.Tabbed browsing:- The ability to have multiple Web pages open in the same window with each one sporting a folder-like tab at the top for easy clicking back and forth isn’t as unique to Firefox as it once was now that Safari and Internet Explorer 7 have jumped on the tabbed browsing bandwagon. But Firefox still makes elegant use of this time-saving innovation and keeps your desktop free of extra browser windows.

5.RSS:- With blogs, news sites, and even technical support pages constantly updating themselves, Firefox's use of RSS feeds (Section 5.5) makes it much easier to keep up with all the latest headlines each time your favorite sites add new information. Subscribing to a site is as effortless as clicking a button.

6.Extensions:- Firefox is a spawn of the Mozilla Foundation, an open source (volunteer) software group dedicated to sharing code among programmers and building a better, sturdier product than companies that keep their code closed to public view. And with so many people contributing to Firefox's development, it's only natural that really fun add-ons called extensions would develop alongside the browser. Adding a few extensions to your Firefox browser can make it do really cool things, like flash the current temperature, control your MP3 jukebox program from the browser window, or zoom in on images; check out the Extensions list at https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox.

7.Find box:- When you search within a Web page for a specific word or phrase, Firefox gives you a convenient Find box down at the bottom of the browser window that doesn't block your view of the page you're searching.

8.Search shortcuts:- You don't even need to jump to a search engine page to search the Web with Firefox. The browser has a search box embedded right in its toolbar with shortcuts to many different sites including Google, Amazon, and eBay.

9.Customaries settings:- You can easily customaries your Mozilla Firefox settings [I explain it in my previous post] and thus you can make it super fast for browsing.

But while other browsers have added similar features, Firefox still continues to make great strides in Web surfing. On the otherhand, some sites just won't display properly or even work right if you try to view them with Firefox. But back to the upside: Firefox can import your bookmarks, passwords, cookies, and other information from Internet Explorer, Safari, and older versions of Netscape, so switching browsers is easy.
