CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
It's the favorite freeware Web browser packed with a pair of student-friendly add-ons. By now, Firefox is a prime force in the browser wars. It's easy to install, simple to operate, a snap to upgrade. Firefox features a collection of logical pull-downs, helpful function icons, and and easily-skinned interface. The program's help manual is novice-friendly with extra tips for Internet Explorer users.
So what's special about this Campus Edition? Fun and scholarship with FoxyTunes and Zotero. The former manages your iTunes installation from inside Firefox. FoxyTunes displays the current song, adds controls to pause, skip, and offers links to learn more about the music in your playlists. Zotero is the other side of the coin. The add-on offers dozens of tools to manage research. Bibliographic references, documents, notes, images, and other information is easily linked, stored, and accessed through Zotero. The app includes a very helpful online video tour and extensive program manual.
Sure, it would be easy to install Firefox and simply add these two apps. Firefox Campus Edition saves you a few steps and some search time. This application is for any student who likes to listen to music while doing a little Web research.

Version: Firefox Campus Edition 2.0.0.6
"The built-in Zotero and Foxytunes makes this version of firefox perfect."
Pros: It had Stumble, Zotero and Foxytunes, which i need it almost everyday,
Whats good about this is that there is a built-in dictionary. I am actually a first timer using Firefox. I must apologize for that. And I'm now stucked in using this. Good recommendation. Rated 4.5 but too bad no such numerical in the rating box.
Cons: Too perfect to say anything bad about this.

Version: Firefox Campus Edition 2.0.0.6
"Finally, a usefull browser for pupils like me"
Pros: I didn't really searched for browser editions like these. But i downloaded instead of my standard Firefox. It had powerfull add-ons, i can control my music, it's getting boring after a while searching (really, i know everything about it)
Saving webpages, with just a click, and view them later, and use the results in my projects. StumbleUpon is not really a neccesary tool.
Cons: It's firefox, with addons, so i dont see anything wrong about this software.
It's just Firefox, with add-ons selected by FireFox just for Students, and pupils.

Version: Firefox Campus Edition 2.0.0.6
Pros: Nice appearance; installs right over the regular version of FireFox.
Cons: I found the pages do not load as quickly as the regular FireFox version (their latest version).
Summary: It's a bit slower than the updated version of regular FireFox. So I uninstalled the program - now I don't have any FireFox. I'll have to download the regular - latest version of FireFox again.
