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. An abundant collection of freely available extensions (add-ons) allow you to easily add the features you want and customize the browser to fit your needs. Firefox is now releasing major versions every couple months or so, e.g. they went from 4.0 to 10.0 in less than a year... so be prepared for frequent stability and compatibility issues, especially if you are using a lot of extensions.
