Mozilla Firefox has been a popular web browser in the new era today. It only takes FF (FireFox) for a while to stand as the No.1 web browser in CNET Editor’s Review. With the new release of Mozilla FireFox 2.0, the internet junkies had gain a peace of mind as the internet browser is more secured than ever before. Plus, more add-ons and extensions are created from the people around the world to enhance not only the interactivity of the freeware but also the functionality and the practicality of the entire program.
I started to use FireFox since long time ago when I found out that it is less vulnerable to malware or viruses. Furthermore, the loading time for the software is slightly faster compared to the Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0. I recalled the problematic times when I used to surf the net using IE. Once in the blue moon a message will pop-up in front of your pc indicating that one of the IE script is crashed and requested me to decide either clicking the Send Report or Don’t Send. I got irritated when all my tabs and important website addresses went missing when I tried using the IE after the incident. I had to spend some time to recollect my mindset in order to acquire what I had lost from the previous searches. As for the FF2, this is no longer trouble as the FF2 now consists of a function which is similar to System Restore Point in some of the highly-rated anti-spyware applications nowadays. In the brand new Restore Session in FF2, it will be able to track and restore the latest tabs which the user was placing before leading to the browser crashing process. So, this is actually so convenient as the user will never get more frustrated as to force himself to break his own brain by recalling those websites he was surfing.
The spell checking system is upgraded and better than ever. With the usage of this feature, the user will never waste another minute by preparing a big encyclopedia beside the laptop while handling some bombastic words on the internet or hesitate to type in the words in their blogs when they had thoughts and the anticipated feelings that the word is a misspelled word. With the aid of this new feature, blogging and searching will never put the user down.
The friendliness of FF2 is also incomparable when various OS users are worried that the utilization of other operating systems such as Mac and Linux will obstruct them from laying their hands on this fine internet browser. Yes, absolutely no obstacle, FF2 is supported on these entire operating systems well.
Before the launch of FF2, I was basically using the previous version which of 1.5. That time I decided not to make further upgrades as I am not quite sure whether the process of uninstalling and upgrading will be done without any heavy effort. However, when I tried to try on the add-ons and extensions for the FireFox, some of the add-ons require the latest Mozilla FireFox version which is the 2.0 onwards. So, it left me no choice but to brave myself to click the FireFox2 setup icon. I found out that it wasn’t as bad as I thought and the process ran well without any circumstances. It automatically helped to wash out the old version and kept the users’ bookmarks and important info alone in the folder.
I began to like this masterpiece as it also assisted me in transforming all the Chinese characters in to English by installing the “translator” plug-in. It came into handy when I heard that Maxthon is another web browser which performed quite well when it comes to language support and translation. With the new plug-in that works jointly with FF2, I never encounter anymore problem when searching the websites that are encrypted in Chinese or many other foreign languages as the new plug-in will also work by putting up another tab for the translation. So, any changes that are unsaved on the web page before the translation will be reserved as the previous tab.
Themes also put a facelift to the FF2 web browser. Many themes are released for free downloads and there are a lot more to come from categories of OS, Miscellaneous, Compact, Modern and many more. These themes come in screenshots and previews so that the users are allowed to steal a few glances of the brand new look before downloading them to their flavour. There is also one theme called Vista-aero which transform your web browser interface into the IE7 which is quite alike.
Another famous add-on is the Forecastfox which already speaks for itself. This add-on will generate another status bar below and will display a few icons indicating the current weather, temperature, and also for the following days. These measurements are taken from the Accuweather. Configuration of this add-on is as easy as ABC, just type in the area code or you can even search in the list to specify your area and let it do the rest for you.
Firebug is also notable which opens a programming console indicating the HTML and CSS codes for the current page. This gives the user more knowledge when dealing with web page materials.
All these add-ons can be found at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ and they are free for download. Thank you (^.^)
