This is Mozilla's flagship browser. Based on the Firebird browser this is a highly configurable package with many add-on tools available from the Mozilla Web site.
Firefox makes use of the Gecko layout engine. The interface appearance and operation is very similar to IE. Firefox has tabbing, a Google toolbar, and optional zoom add-on. If you try to work offline, the logon window will come and haunt you every few minutes, but this won't worry most users.
Firefox is currently available in 27 languages. While the software is free to download, you will need to pay for disk and manual or phone support. Free support is also available through online forums. Versions of Firefox are available for Windows Mac OS and Linux operating systems. Interestingly, this software takes up considerably more disk-space than the other browsers reviewed (52MB) -- flexibility has its price.
