The advent of tabbed browsing changed the way
we surf the web, and Firefox helped blaze the trail.
Firefox 2 adds close buttons to each tab, as well
as tab-bar scrolling.
Search engines pay big bucks for search
queries originating from a browser, and while
Google remains the default in Firefox , many
other engines are available.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Firefox 2 retains the original’s
navigation toolbar placement,
with only minor cosmetic
touch-ups for the icons.
Part of Firefox’ s appeal originates
from its extensive menu of add-ons,
which allows users to customize the
browser’s form and function. There
are literally thousands of extensions
offering just about any feature you
could possibly need!
Initially developed by Netscape and
now overseen by the Mozilla project,
Firefox utilizes the Gecko rendering
engine, which boasts widespread
compliance among the various
Internet standards, although it does
have some difficulty rendering pages
designed specifically for IE.
