Firefox
1.5
Experience
The Web In A Whole New Way!
Whether you have had problems with Internet Explorer in the past,
or are just looking for a faster more effective way to surf the
web, Firefox is the answer for you. What is Firefox? Well, basically Firefox a relatively new, award
winning internet browser, much like the one you are using
now (probably Internet Explorer), but even better!
My husband first converted our computer
over a year ago. It took me a little while to get used to, but
now there is no going back. I love it. It makes surfing the internet
100% easier and works especially well for digital scrapbooking
when you want to be able to bounce back and forth between lots
and lots of pages. Below are my top 10 reason why you should
switch to Firefox!
It's
Free
It
is 100% free. That means it is free to download and free to use.
No cost ever. You can't beat that!
Awesome
Experience
Firefox 1.5 has an intuitive interface and blocks viruses, spyware, and popup ads.
In other words it's smart, really smart. Firefox has tons of useful features like tabbed browsing,
live bookmarks, and an integrated search
bar. Improvements to the engine that powers Firefox deliver more accurate display of
new and complex Web sites. Firefox is the first browser to support DHTML
accessibility which allows enabled Web applications to be read aloud. Users may
also navigate with keystrokes rather than mouse clicks. Firefox 1.5 (Windows version) is also the first browser to meet US federal government requirements that software be easily accessible to users with physical impairments.
Really
Fast
It
delivers Web pages faster than ever. Offering faster browsing,
with quick page loads. This allows you to quickly navigate back and forward
from one page to another. It is also fast and easy to install and import your
booksmarks from another Web browser
Automatic Updates
With the new Software Update feature makes it easier than ever to get the latest security and feature updates. Firefox does all the work for you. It automatically downloads updates in the background and
lets know you when they need to be installed. It's a no brainier.
Tabbed Browsing
Okay, I think this is my favorite feature. Firefox uses a tabbed browsing
system. Which means you can open multiple Web pages in a single browser window
and then quickly flip back and forth between them. This is a
great advantage when you are trying to look at a wide variety of
elements for your scrapbooking pages. You can also drag and drop open tabs to keep related pages together.
The
Best Pop-up Blocking
This built-in pop-up blocker will block more unwanted pop-up and pop-under
ads than ever before. It keeps your screen clear of all those unwanted
ads and save you the time of closing a million unwanted windows.
Integrated Search
Okay, this is another of my favorite features. It gives you the
power of a search bar constantly right at the top of your page.
It makes it fast and easy to find whatever you're looking for
on the Internet!
Stronger Security
& Privacy
Firefox keeps you secure when you’re browsing the Web, closing the door on spyware, worms, and viruses. The Firefox community of developers and security experts work to monitor security issues and release updates to better protect you.
You can also use the Clear Private Data tool to clear all
personal data, history and cookies with a single click.
Customize Firefox
You decide how Firefox will look and work. It is simple to
select new button controls for your toolbars and install extensions to add new
features. Firefox also features fun themes to change the appearance
of your browser.
It's
Free
Oh yea, did I mention it is free. So, give it a try.
You've got nothing to lose. Try having both Firefox and Internet Explorer installed
at the same. That way you can truly see the difference and
decided which one is right for you. I'd be willing to bet that
once you try Firefox 1.5 you will love it. I did!
