Get the best browser…Firefox!
July 24, 2008
Make the change today…get Firefox 3 to browse the web.
With Mozilla’s Firefox 3 browser, several new features have been added:
- improved password manager,
- one-click bookmarking,
- improved performance,
- smart location bar,
- instant web site ID,
- full zoom,
- platform-native look and feel.
Performance: Firefox now uses less of your computer’s memory while it’s running and a redesigned page rendering and layout engine means you see Web pages faster! Improved text rendering is another benefit with an all new graphic engine for Firefox 3, as well as using a faster Javascript 1.8.
Instant Web Site ID: Click on a site favicon for an instant identity overview. Another click digs deeper: how many times have you visited? Are your passwords saved? Check up on suspicious sites, avoid Web forgeries and make sure a site is what it claims to be.
Anti-Malware: Firefox 3 protects you from viruses, worms, trojan horses and spyware. If you accidentally access an attack site, you’ll receive a full-sized browser message as a warning.
Anti-Virus Software: Firefox 3 integrates elegantly with your antivirus software. When you download a file, your computer’s antivirus program automatically checks it to protect you against viruses and other malware, which could otherwise attack your computer.
Anti -Phishing: Shop and do business safely on the Internet. Firefox gets a fresh update of web forgery sites 48 times in a day, so if you try to visit a fraudulent site that’s pretending to be a site you trust (like your bank), a browser message—big as life—will stop you.
Firefox is also unmatched in its capacity to offer users customization options. Visit their add-on page to learn more about extensions and themes which are available.
Recommended Extensions: here is a partial list of extensions for Firefox 3 which I give “5 Stars”!
Adblock Plus, Clear Cache button, Colorzilla, CSSViewer, Domain Details, DownThemAll, Faviconize Tab, FireFTP, Html Validator, MeasureIt, Page Validator, PwdHash, Screen Grab, Server Spy, Tabs Menu, Thunderbird Biff, Web Developer, WOT.
