Mozilla FireFox

Most people are aware of Mozilla FireFox, for those that are not, it is a web browser, an alternative to Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Why You Should Get It!

  • Its completely free
  • It is considered more secure than Internet Explorer
  • It has an in-line spell checker
  • It will warn you of phishing sites designed to fool you into giving away personal / bank details
  • There are lots of really useful plug ins available, such as download accelerator’s

FireFox is open source, meaning it is developed by a community of developers, as opposed to a commercial company. It is this ethos that promotes early patching (many people are working on FireFox). This is also the reason so many plug ins are available (people think of a useful plug in, create it, share it!!).

Used with Google toolbar it offers better protection against phishing sites and will give a very clear warning if you get sent to a spoof bank site for example.

Google tool bar includes a more powerful spell checker that will correct spelling mistakes in emails etc.

I have been using FireFox and Google Toolbar for several years and never looked back, it is a far more pleasant experience than using I.E. why not try it for yourself!

If you would prefer to download FireFox without the Google toolbar then visit:
