Firefox has many features that make it the best web browser, below are some of its feature:
1)Improved Tabbed Browsing
Firefox 2 will open new web pages in tabs by default. Each of those tabs has its own close button, but don’t worry - if you accidentally
close a tab, just go to the History menu to bring it back from the list of “Recently Closed Tabs.” You’ll never be crunched for space
anymore, either. When you have too many tabs open to comfortably fit in a single window, scroll arrows will appear on either side, and a
button on the right side will always show you an easy-to-read list of all your open tabs.
2)Spell Checking
Sometimes you’re in a rush, and can’t remember if it’s “i” before “e” or the other way around. Firefox 2 has built-in spell checking to keep
you from making any mistakes in your blog posts and Web-based email, so you can worry about more important things.
3)Pop-up Blocker
Firefox keeps you in control of the Web pages you’re viewing, blocking annoying pop-ups. Firefox’s pop-up blocker notifies you when pop-ups
are blocked via the information bar or icon on the lower right of the screen.
4)Phishing Protection
Phishing Protection takes Firefox’s security to a new level, helping to safeguard your financial information and protect you from identity
theft. When you encounter a Web site that is a suspected forgery (known as a “phishing” site) Firefox will warn you and offer to take you to
a search page so you can find the real Web site you were looking for.
5)Protection from Spyware
Firefox will not allow a Web site to download, install, or run programs on your computer without your explicit agreement. Period. You will be
notified whenever downloading or installing software, and Firefox will always tell you what’s happening so that you can stay in control of
your computer.
6)Clear Private Data
Firefox offers the ability to clear all your private Web browsing data with just one click with the “Clear Private Data” tool. You can be
confident that when you clear your private data in Firefox it’s gone - whether you are using your own computer or one at the library. This
feature help preventing identity theft from accessing your personal informations.
7)Search Engine Manager
You can now quickly add, remove and re-order your search engines in the Search bar. Firefox 2 will also detect when a Web site
has a search engine that can be installed, and will install it for you with a single click in the drop-down menu.
