Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Foundation

open source web browser Mozilla Firefox is an independent web browser that offers tabbed browsing combined with numerous handy features like popup blocking, Live Bookmarks (RSS integration), password manager and more. The functionality can be extended with dozens of freely available plug-ins (Extensions). Firefox can import all your Internet Explorer Favorites as well as some other settings, so switching is made easy. The default features of Firefox are good for general web surfing.
