My week using Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Firefox - Created by thousands of people around the world working together to build a better Internet.
I spent the last week using Firefox to access the internet on my laptop. Luckily, my laptop already had Firefox downloaded so it was ready to use. At first, it was just hard getting out of the habit of clicking internet explorer when accessing the net. I found Firefox to be a user-friendly. I use a wireless system at home and I found Firefox would load much faster than explorer and at times when access was denied to the net through explorer, Firefox would still upload. The layout of Mozilla is simplistic which makes it easier to use. One other beneficial aspect to Firefox was the fact that it saved the last website you were on, which is really good when you need to come back to a site.
Mozilla Firefox was an experimental branch of the Mozilla project created by Dave Hyatt and Blake Ross. The first release of Firefox, Firefox 1.0 was released on November 9, 2004. This was following by Firebox 1.5 later released in November 29 2005. Version 2.0 released on October 24 2006, Firebox 3.0 on June 17 2008. Version 3.5 was released and June 30, 2009 and the Version 3.6 (which we have today) was released on January 21, 2010.
While researching the differences between using Mozilla Firefox and the ever-so-popular Internet Explorer I found a website (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/6-reasons-why-firefox-is-safer-than-internet-explorer/) which outlined a few reasons as to why Mozilla is a safer program to use. Updates on Mozilla are releases immediately, not on a monthly schedule, and clock in at fewer than 10 MB. Users are notified automatically and prompted to install the update with a single click. The update process doesn’t take more than a minute on a modern computer. Since Firefox is open source, anyone can look at the source code, anyone can spot a problem and contribute a fix.
If you are interested in other ways that Firefox is a safer alternative, the website attached outlines numerous reasons.
