Firefox is a Mozilla browser, that is independent from Internet Explorer or other Windows components. It offers tabbed browsing combined with numerous handy features like popup blocking, Live Bookmarks (RSS integration), password manager and more. The functionality can be extended with dozens of freely available plug-ins (Extensions). Firefox can import all your Internet Explorer Favorites as well as some other settings, so switching is made easy. The default features of Firefox are good for general web surfing. The availability of the free extensions (and themes) is one of the key aspects for our rating, since they allow you to easily add the features you want and customize the browser to fit your needs. New features in Firefox 2.0 include spell checking, slight interface improvements, improved RSS features, and integrated anti-phishing.
