Firefox-Friend-Mozilla-Page-Start
World Firefox Day
In July, Mozilla launched World Firefox Day, an outreach program that gives everyone who uses Firefox an easy way to share Firefox with one friend.
Why Use Firefox?
Firefox is free and great for designers because it downloads graphics faster. Firefox is easier to use, includes Tabs for better browsing, and comes with the Google Toolbar ... everyone who uses it never goes back to Internet Explorer.
“Beware of spyware. If you can, use the Firefox browser.” - USA Today
“Better than Internet Explorer by leaps and bounds.” - FORBES
Stop annoying popup ads in their tracks with Firefox's built in popup blocker.
View more than one web page in a single window. Open links in the background so that they're ready for viewing.
Built with your security in mind, Firefox keeps your computer safe from malicious spyware by not loading harmful ActiveX controls. A comprehensive set of privacy tools keep your online activity your business.
Google Search is built right into the toolbar, and there is a plethora of other search tools including Smart Keywords, and the new Find bar (which finds text as you type without covering up anything).
RSS integration lets you read the latest news headlines and read updates to your favorite sites that are syndicated.
Files you download are automatically saved to your Desktop so they're easy to find.
Simple and intuitive, yet fully featured, Firefox has all the functions you're used to - Bookmarks, History, Full Screen, Text Zooming to make pages with small text easier to read, etc.
Firefox is the most customizable browser on the planet. Customize your toolbars to add additional buttons, install new Extensions that add new features, add new Themes to browse with style, and use the adaptive search system to allow you to search an infinite number of engines.
At only 4.7MB (Windows), Firefox takes just a few minutes to download over a slow connection and seconds over a fast connection. The installer gets you set up quickly, and the new Easy Transition system imports all of your settings - Favorites, passwords and other data from Internet Explorer and other browsers - so you can start surfing right away.
A Developer's Best Friend
Firefox comes with a standard set of developer tools including a powerful JavaScript and CSS error/warning console, and an optional Document Inspector that gives detailed insight about your pages.
