Publisher's description of Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6
From Mozilla:Mozilla Firefox is a fast, full-featured Web browser that makes browsing more efficient than ever before. Firefox includes pop-up blocking; a tab-browsing mode that lets you open several pages in a single window; integrated Google searching; simplified privacy controls that let you cover your tracks more effectively; a streamlined browser window that shows you more of the page than any other browser; and a number of additional features that work with you to help you get the most out of your time online.
Editor's review of Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6
stars
- "A skillful and secure Web-surfing tool"
- Version reviewed: Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6
The final release of Mozilla Firefox offers enough features to make you rethink Internet Explorer. You can easily create toolbars by dragging and dropping icons. Live Bookmarks turn RSS feeds into something that acts like a bookmarks folder. You can type Google search queries right into the address bar or use the built-in search box. The program displays the page source in a new window, using indents and color-coded tags like an HTML editor. You can view your bookmarks or history in the Sidebar area, which lets you quickly revisit your favorite sites. Though the browser hides its advanced settings, you can still build modules using XML, CSS, JavaScript, and even C . The program includes such tools as a JavaScript debugger and a DOM viewer.
At 55MB for 25 windows, the browser uses fewer resources than Internet Explorer but more than Opera. The built-in pop-up blocker works better than Opera's, IE's, and those of most paid standalone utilities. However, the download manager is still underdeveloped. Though the final release version vastly improves stability, we noticed occasional reluctance to maximize in response to Alt Tab commands. People who want more security than IE provides should look at Mozilla Firefox.

Version: Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6
Pros: This browser is a leader in this category. Changable and easy to use interface, fast work and secured. Plus several additional extensions easily turn this browser to Opera, Maxthon etc.

Version: Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6
"Mozilla Cares About Security"
Pros: v. 1.0.6 shows how Mozilla cares about security. It found a security issue regarding v. 1.0.5 and immediately sent out this version to cure the issue. The other pros are the same as the ones that applied to previous versions.
Cons: Not all websites fully work on Firefox, but that's because all websites are made to function with IE. A small price to pay for the benefits of Firefox.

Version: Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6
Pros: can't say enough good things!!I especially like the tabbed browsing! awesome extensions, I especially like: StumbleUpon, Flashblock, Forcastfox, Ebay Negs!, Image Zoom, & Flashgot. I especially enjoy the themes; PIMPzilla is awesome (It's overdone... It's tacky... It's PimpZilla !!!) I've used opera, Avantbrowser, MSN premium, & internet Explorer. Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6 out does them all!!
Cons: can be a bit unstable and slow but way better then Internet Explorer....They are constantly improving it,...The positives outweigh the negs...give it a whrill and enjoy!!!Once you go FireFox you'll never go back!!

Version: Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6
Pros: I would have to say this is the best browser that has ever been made. The tabbed browsing is great, very useful. You can just hit CTRL+T on your keyboard to open a new tab, the popup blocking is excellent, its way safer than Internet Explorer, Now Google Toolbar is available for Firefox.. Firefox Start is a wonderful homepage thats lets you search from google. Firefox is faster than other browsers and a very simple, slim browser. Not cluttered.
Cons: No cons at all.
