Firefox's
latest - and greatest – version
Mozilla Firefox is one of the World's most popular web
browsers and was one of the first to break the stranglehold of Microsoft's Internet
Explorer (IE) on the web browsing market
Features
This is the latest version of the popular
web browser and as always, Mozilla claim to have a speedier, safer browsing experience.
Tests reveal that this newest version of Mozilla Firefox is certainly quick to load even the most
graphics intense pages.
Firefox also now features
secure connections when performing Google searches to improve privacy and
there's an updated site identity indicator in the URL bar. There's only one
relevant improvement in the latest version of Firefox for most users relating
to security. Security has been improved with mixed content blocking which
protects users from "man-in-the-middle attacks" and from
eavesdroppers on HTTPS pages. There are also several bug fixes.
Mozilla Firefox's tab layout
is quite similar to Google's Chrome browser, instead of seeing a blank page
whenever a new tab is opened Firefox users will now be treated to icons that
offer quick access to everything from bookmarks to most recently accessed and
most frequently visited sites.
These icons are fully
customizable in Mozilla Firefox as well. You can click and drag them to any
spot you like on your name tab's page. If you're not a fan, you can also go to
the grid icon on the upper right side of your browser and erase them entirely.
Firefox features Facebook
integration. Firefox supports Facebook's social API so you can have
dedicated buttons for Facebook in your browser. Mozilla Firefox supports
Facebook's Messenger within Firefox, giving users desktop notifications as well
as a persistent friends list and activity feed on the right. Conversations will
open up as overlays on top of whatever website you're on so you can multitask
while you chat.
Usability
Mozilla Firefox really changed
the way people browse the web when it originally burst onto the scene. Today
Firefox remains an incredibly powerful and customizable browser, although
competition from Google Chrome has given it
a definite run for its money.
Conclusion
In terms of interface, the
latest version of Firefox isn't much different from previous versions, but the
features it has added certainly make for a nicer, more enjoyable browsing
experience overall.
