The browser provides virus, popup and spyware protection in a simple, easy to use tabbed interface
The Firefox project (formerly Firebird, which was formerly Phoenix) is a redesign of Mozilla's browser component, written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be cross-platform.
Firefox is a small, fast and very easy to use browser that offers many advantages over other web browsers, such as the ability to block pop-up windows and the tabbed browsing.
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
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Tabs are now on top by default on Windows and OSX - Linux will be changing when the theme has been modified to support the change.
· You can turn any tab into an "App Tab" by right-clicking on it and selecting "Make into App Tab" from the context menu.
· Web developers can animate content using CSS Transitions.
· Responsiveness and scrolling improvements from the new retained layers layout system.
· JavaScript speed improvements due to engine optimizations.
· Changes to how XPCOM components are registered in order to help startup time and process separation.
