The latest release for Internet browsing, brought to you by Mozilla, looks good, acts nicely, and is a user-friendly application.
Considering the tabbed interface, which can be reordered via drag-and-drop, the fast browser navigation with improvement to back and forward button performance, the built-in popup blocking tool, the spell checker for web-based text input forms and all the improvements in product stability, we may say that Mozilla Firefox is a competitive product on the market. Lately, more and more people choose Firefox over similar web browsers due to its ease of use, improved protection, and the fact that it's easy to write and use plugins.
There are 6 search engines included by default in the search toolbar, but you can add many other search engines by using the "Manage Search Engines" window. It's possible to customize Mozilla Firefox with lots of themes, extensions such as FoxGame, TiVo Community Forums Menu, R-kiosk, repagination, eMessenger Sidebar, autositemap, and so on. Firefox 3 also comes with a powerful set of tools for developers including powerful JavaScript and CSS error/warning/rendering console and a quality feedback agent for reporting Firefox crash information.
When first starting the application you can import options, bookmarks, history, passwords, and other similar data from other Internet browsers that are already installed on your computer. Application, extension, and search engine updates are now pushed to the background. The application only asks you whether you want to install these updates. The built-in download manager is an excellent solution for downloading your favorite applications or multimedia files.
Pluses: Lots of great features make Mozilla fully customizable, easy to use, and proficient for browsing and visualizing online multimedia content. Newly implemented anti-phishing, browser session saving/restoration, support for client-side session and persistent storage, ability to re-open accidentally closed tabs are only some of the features implemented into the 3 version. Mozilla Firefox is also available for Mac OS and Linux.
Some of the other new features worth mentioning are the inline spell checker, access to Live Titles (dynamic bookmarks), and the browser's ability to preview and subscribe to Web feeds.
Drawbacks / flaws: High memory usage is reportedly one of the drawbacks of Mozilla Firefox.
In conclusion: Newly implemented features and lots of plugins allow you to customize Mozilla Firefox. Overall Firefox is a very good Web browser. 3.0
