5 Reasons Why You Should Download Mozilla Firefox 3

Firefox has been gaining more and more popularity as a web browser in its quest to take more and more internet explorer users, but what does it do differently? With the new release of Firefox 3, Mozilla has promised to fix many of the old issues that Firefox 2 users were experience, but did they deliver? This article will outline a few reasons why you should use Mozilla’s Firefox 3.

1. It’s not a memory hog- One of the biggest complaints against Firefox 2 was the fact that if it was left open it continued to eat memory until you were forced to shut it down. Mozilla has addressed these complaints by making Firefox 3 an even more efficient browser than leading competitor Internet Explorer!

2. It’s Secure- The biggest gripe people have against browsers like Internet Explorer is that it seems like there is nothing going on to protect the user, but this isn’t the case with Firefox 3. If a website you’re visiting is seen as potentially dangerous Firefox will alert you that the website you are visiting has malware or may even be trying to steal information from your computer. It should be noted though that no matter what browser you’re using that you’re not immune to scamming, spyware, or virus breaches.

3. Plug-ins- Plug-ins are custom modifications that can be added to your Firefox 3 client. This means that you’re essentially creating your own custom browser. Plug-ins can affect anything from general appearance to actual features that you can interact with. Firefox is also open source meaning that anyone who knows how can develop a custom plug-in and share it with the world.

4. It’s simple- One of the best things about Firefox when you compare it to Internet Explorer is how simple it is. When you open up the browser there isn’t any clutter and everything is located exactly where you think it should be. With such an intuitive interface that can be modified by plug-ins it’s hard to find fault with Firefox’s simple approach.

5. It’s free-That’s right, this upgrade over the default Internet Explorer browser that is included with your computer is absolutely free. While most browsers are free, none of them are nearly as powerful or as customizable as Firefox.

With features like this it isn’t hard to think that Mozilla is taking users away from Microsoft. So what are you waiting for? Try Mozilla’s Firefox 3 and see if it’s right for you!
