Faster Browsing
Enjoy quick page loading as you navigate back and forward in a browsing
session. Improvements to the engine that powers Firefox deliver more
accurate display of complex Web sites, support for new Web standards,
and better overall performance.
Automatic Updates
The new Software Update feature makes it easy to get the latest security
and feature updates to Firefox. Firefox automatically downloads these
small updates in the background and prompts you when they are ready to
be installed.
Tabbed Browsing
Use tabbed browsing to open multiple Web pages in a single browser
window, and quickly flip back and forth. Drag and drop open tabs to keep
related pages together.
Improved Pop-up Blocking
Firefox’s built-in pop-up blocker has been enhanced to block more
unwanted pop-up and pop-under ads.
Integrated Search
Tap into the power of the Web’s most popular search engines with the
built-in Search bar, and easily add new engines.
Stronger Security Firefox keeps you more secure when you’re browsing the Web,
closing the door on spyware, worms, and viruses. The Firefox community
of developers and security experts works around the clock to monitor
security issues and release updates to better protect you dell.
Clear Private Data
Protect your privacy with the new Clear Private Data tool. With a single
click, you can delete all personal data, including browsing history,
cookies, Web form entries and passwords.
Live Bookmarks
Stay up to date with your favorite Web sites and blogs. Use Live
Bookmarks that update themselves automatically with the latest content
from the Web.
Accessibility
Firefox delivers easier navigation for everyone, including those who are
visually or motor-impaired. Firefox is the first browser to support
DHTML accessibility, which, when enabled by Web authors, allows rich Web
applications to be read aloud. Users may navigate with keystrokes rather
than mouse clicks, reducing the tabbing required to navigate documents
such as spreadsheets. Firefox (Windows version) is also the first
browser to meet US federal government requirements that software be
easily accessible to users with physical impairments.
Customize Firefox
Select new button controls for your toolbars, install extensions to add
new features, or change the look of your browser with themes - the way
Firefox looks and works is under your control.
Next Generation Web Support
Innovative new Web applications and services deliver a richer Web
experience. Support for open Web standards in Firefox ensures you can
get the most out of this emerging class of Web-based tools.
