Update: 01/11/06: Firefox 2.0 Released this month! Links in this article are updated to reflect the new version.

If you've been using the internet for any reasonable amount of time you've already discovered how frustrating all those pop-ups, viruses, spyware programs, extra toolbars and other strange occurrences can be. We often just accept these things as the new normal and chalk it up to "that's the way the internet is these days" but it doesn't have to be.

The award winning  team of software developers at Mozilla have launched the latest version of their FireFox web browser, more than just an easier interface compared to Internet Explorer, it offers all the same functionality of your existing internet browser while providing a much more secure, stable and reliable internet experience. But don't just take my opinion, here's what one of my more advanced clients has to say!

Jon Aston of Marketing Partners Writes
"Since Installing and using FireFox as my web browser  I've noticed my weekly spyware scan now reports much less spyware and adware than it used to, it's as if FireFox slammed the door on the evils of the internet but still allows me all the same functionality I'm used to and doesn't inhibit my ability to use the internet for my business!"

- Couldn't agree more, Thanks Jon! - Scott

A Better Web Experience

Firefox 2.0 has an intuitive interface and blocks viruses, spyware, and popup ads. It delivers Web pages faster than ever. And it’s easy to install and import your favorites. Packed with useful features like tabbed browsing, Live Bookmarks, and an integrated Search bar, Firefox will change the way you experience the Web, for the better.

 
Faster Browsing

Enjoy quick page loading as you navigate back and forward in a browsing session. Improvements to the engine that powers Firefox deliver more accurate display of complex Web sites, support for new Web standards, and better overall performance.

 
Automatic Updates

The new Software Update feature makes it easy to get the latest security and feature updates to Firefox. Firefox automatically downloads these small updates in the background and prompts you when they are ready to be installed.

 
Tabbed Browsing

Use tabbed browsing to open multiple Web pages in a single browser window, and quickly flip back and forth. Drag and drop open tabs to keep related pages together.

 
Improved Pop-up Blocking

Firefox’s built-in pop-up blocker has been enhanced to block more unwanted pop-up and pop-under ads.

 
Integrated Search

Tap into the power of the Web’s most popular search engines with the built-in Search bar, and easily add new engines.

 
Stronger Security

Firefox keeps you more secure when you’re browsing the Web, closing the door on spyware, worms, and viruses. The Firefox community of developers and security experts works around the clock to monitor security issues and release updates to better protect you.

 
Clear Private Data

Protect your privacy with the new Clear Private Data tool. With a single click, you can delete all personal data, including browsing history, cookies, Web form entries and passwords.

 
Live Bookmarks

Stay up to date with your favorite Web sites and blogs. Use Live Bookmarks that update themselves automatically with the latest content from the Web.

 
Accessibility

Firefox 2.0 delivers easier navigation for everyone, including those who are visually or motor-impaired. Firefox is the first browser to support DHTML accessibility, which, when enabled by Web authors, allows rich Web applications to be read aloud. Users may navigate with keystrokes rather than mouse clicks, reducing the tabbing required to navigate documents such as spreadsheets. Firefox 2.0 (Windows version) is also the first browser to meet US federal government requirements that software be easily accessible to users with physical impairments.

 
Customize Firefox

Select new button controls for your toolbars, install extensions to add new features, or change the look of your browser with themes - the way Firefox looks and works is under your control.

 
Next Generation Web Support

Innovative new Web applications and services deliver a richer Web experience. Support for open Web standards in Firefox ensures you can get the most out of this emerging class of Web-based tools.
