Get Firefox!Looking at the stats for people who visit this site I saw a horrible and very dangerous pattern. Over 56% of the people who visit this site are still using Internet Explorer. In some cases versions as old as 5!
Some of you will be sitting there thinking "But Paul, whats wrong with that? what else am I supposed to use when thats what came with my PC???!!!111". Well, I'll tell you whats wrong. You are using outdated and poorly made software and putting your computer at risk.
Firefox has many features that Internet Explorer and other browsers doesn't and installing it in place of Internet Explorer is seemless and simple.
Some features that Firefox has over Internet Explorer are:
- Easly import all your Internet Explorer settings, Favourites and page history on setup.
- Tabbed Browsing
- Live Bookmarks
- Reliable Pop-Up Protection
- Plugins
- Skins
- Smart Searching
Tabbed Browsing
Tabbed Browsing is a powerful feature that makes surfing the web faster and more convenient. Managing multiple web pages within a single window helps to keep your desktop and taskbar free from clutter; and allows you to keep reading while other pages load in the background.
The intuitive interface and keyboard shortcuts that make it easy to open and switch between multiple tabs, save you time and help you to find and read more information, faster. Simply press Ctrl+T, or middle-click a link to open a new tab.
Live Bookmarks Bookmarks are equivalent to Internet Explorer’s Favorites which will be automatically imported during setup. Live Bookmarks allow you view the latest headlines directly from websites in your bookmarks toolbar or menu. Many sites are already enabled for Live Bookmarks and Firefox lets you know by displaying the orange Live Bookmarks button in the status bar — subscribing is an effortless task.
Pop-up Protection. Firefox has built in pop-up protection to stop those irritating pop-ups interupting your online experiance. No need to be running SP2 or anything else.
Plugins If there is a feature that isn't on firefox, then there is most likely a plugin for it on the Firefox Plugin site. Everything from a adblocker to controls for your media player in the browser!
Skins Not happy with the way that Firefox looks? Well change it with a skin! with thousands to choose from there is one for everyone's taste!
This is in no way all the features Firefox has to offer. For a full list with better explinations please visit This page (opens in new window).
Setup Installing Firefox can't be easyer. Just download the install file (5.6mb) and open it. Follow the steps and its done!
If you use Internet Explorer and want to keep your Favourite (bookmark) list and other information just select the option to import settings from Internet Explorer. Seemless!
