a Firefox is one of the World's most popular web browsers and was
one of the first to break the stranglehold of Microsoft's Internet
Explorer (IE) on the web browsing market.
Features
This is the latest version of the popular web browser and as always, Mozilla claim to a speedier, safer browsing experience. Tests reveal that this newest version of Mozilla Firefox is certainly quick to load even the most graphics intense pages.
Firefox also now features secure connections when performing Google
searches to improve privacy and there's an updated site identity
indicator in the URL bar. There's only one relevant improvement in the
latest version of Firefox for most users relating to security. Security
has been improved with mixed content blocking which protects users from
"man-in-the-middle attacks" and from eavesdroppers on HTTPS pages. There
are also several bug fixes.
Mozilla Firefox's tab layout is quite similar to Google's Chrome
browser, instead of seeing a blank page whenever a new tab is opened
Firefox users will now be treated to icons that offer quick access to
everything from bookmarks to most recently accessed and most frequently
visited sites.
These icons are fully customizable in Mozilla
Firefox as well. You can click and drag them to any spot you like on
your name tab's page. If you're not a fan, you can also go to the grid
icon on the upper right side of your browser and erase them entirely.
Firefox features Facebook integration.
Firefox supports Facebook's social API so you can have dedicated
buttons for Facebook in your browser. Mozilla Firefox supports
Facebook's Messenger within Firefox, giving users desktop notifications
as well as a persistent friends list and activity feed on the right.
Conversations will open up as overlays on top of whatever website you're
on so you can multitask while you chat.
Usability
Mozilla Firefox really changed the way people browse the web when it
originally burst onto the scene. Today Firefox remains an incredibly
powerful and customizable browser, although competition from Google Chrome has given it a definite run for its money.
Conclusion
In terms of interface, the latest version of Firefox isn't
much different from previous versions, but the features it has added
certainly make for a nicer, more enjoyable browsing experience overall.
