Firefox is a free, open-source web browser for Windows, Linux and MacOS X and is based on the Mozilla codebase. It is small, fast and easy to use, and offers many advantages over Internet Explorer, such as the ability to block pop-up windows.
Mozilla is an open-source web browser and toolkit, designed for standards compliance, performance and portability. They coordinate the development and testing of the Firefox browser by providing discussion forums, software engineering tools, releases and bug tracking.
Mozilla (Application Suite, also known as SeaMonkey) is a complete suite of web related applications, such as a browser, a mail/news client, a chat client and much more. Firefox is just a browser, which makes it a better choice if you already have a mail client for example. Also, since Firefox is smaller than the whole Mozilla suite, it's faster and easier to use. Note, though, that Firefox is not just the standalone Mozilla browser. The user interface in Firefox differs from Mozilla in many ways.
why you should use Firefox instead of other browsers on the market. Yes, Firefox and all other Mozilla-based products are more secure. Here is a list of the most important reasons: * It is not integrated with Windows, which helps prevent viruses and hackers from causing damage if they somehow manage to compromise Firefox.
Firefox and the Mozilla Application Suite use different profiles that don't interfere with each other. In Linux, however, there can be problems starting Firefox if Mozilla Application Suite is already running.
installer for Windows, just uninstall it using the "Add or Remove Programs" applet in the Windows Control Panel. If you installed Firefox using the compressed archives, just remove the folder you unzipped it to.
profile folder, which contains all your bookmarks and settings. Releases are generally more stable versions of Firefox that should probably be downloaded by the first-time user. Nightly builds are released every night and contain the very latest changes, including new features and bugs. Since Firefox is an open-source project, contributors are constantly translating Firefox into other languages.
To start the Profile Manager on Windows, follow these steps: 1 Close Firefox completely (select File > Exit from the menu). Note that the profile manager may be removed in newer versions of Firefox, which will force you to use command line switches instead of the graphical interface. If Firefox crashes, you'll see a program called Talkback appear, asking you to send information about the crash. org, many years ago, agreed to make an exception and include this product with our binary nightly and milestone distributions even though it's not open source because it provides huge value in debugging and isolating stability issues. Talkback has been used to identify and debug thousands of major crash bugs in Mozilla over the years and we're very happy to be able to include it in the Firefox testing builds. How it works: A Talkback binary is packaged up with the Firefox browser binary. When the browser crashes, the Talkback application is triggered and it offers the user the option to participate. If a user agrees to help the Mozilla effort by submitting crash data then she is prompted with optional fields for including her e-mail address, the URL that triggered the crash and a comment. That user-entered data along with a stacktrace of the crash is sent to a Talkback server at Netscape which is accessible to many of the Mozilla developers. In aggregate, all of the crash data can very quickly point out specific problems being encountered by large groups of users. A small team of engineers pour through these aggregate reports and turn them into bugzilla bugs with good debug information which leads to quick fixing of the most high-profile stability problems. To see some of these bugs, query bugzilla for the keywords topcrash and topcrash+ What else: Talkback is not spyware, adware or anything of the like. Users are clearly prompted and asked to submit the report. User data unrelated to the Mozilla crash isn't at all useful to us. If you don't want to help Mozilla and Firefox become more stable by submitting your crash reports then don't. I'd encourage anyone that wants to see this browser improve to submit those reports. Just remember that we can't fix the bugs we can't identify. If you're happy seeing the same crash over and over then don't worry about sending in that report.
Download the file, close Firefox completely (File > Exit) and run the installation. In the dialog that appears, click on the Other browser... There you must specify the path to the plugin folder for Firefox. Select that folder and click Select, then click Install. Windows On Windows, Firefox can be used with Sun's Java Runtime Environment (JRE). It can not be used with the Microsoft Java VM, as that can only be used with Internet Explorer.
this registry file to your desktop, and double-click to import it. If you are asked if you want to add the information to the Windows registry, click Yes. After this is done, you can install JRE 142 if required, then restart Firefox and use Java.
If you are using an old or unofficial build of Firefox, you can check which compiler was used by entering about:buildconfig in the location bar and pressing enter. You will see a line such as "gcc version 33 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)", which will show the compiler that was used.
disable those unneeded plugins and make Adobe Reader load faster. Basically, you need to do the following: 1 Install Adobe Reader 60 and notice where it is installed.
Firefox Extensions is the name for various enhancements to the browsing experience in Firefox. They can be thought of as small programs (or add-ons) that add new functionality to Firefox. The great thing about extensions is that they allow Firefox to stay small and unbloated. Anyone who require more features can download the appropriate extension.
In Firefox 09, it's possible to uninstall extensions from the Extensions Manager. Select Tools > Extensions, select the extension you want to remove and click the Uninstall button.
It adds such features as close buttons on the actual tabs, an option for the tab closing order, auto reload, crash recovery and much more. Mouse Gestures is a neat feature taken from the Opera browser that lets you navigate using simple mouse movements. For example, you can go back one page by holding down a button and dragging the mouse to the left.
bk_edit that allows you to edit and convert Opera 6, Netscape 3/4, Mozilla (including, of course, Firefox) and Galeon bookmarks on Linux. I'm a Galeon or Konqueror user, can I import my bookmarks into Firefox?
Firefox can't directly import these files, because Firefox bookmarks are stored in HTML, whereas XBEL is XML However, both Galeon and Konqueror offer the possibility to export your bookmarks to the Mozilla/Netscape format (which is the one used in Firefox). After having exported your bookmarks, just open Firefox bookmark manager, and import (File > Import) the newly exported file.
You can customize the toolbars by choosing which buttons you want to show, by adding toolbars, or by resizing the buttons. A new window will pop up, containing available toolbar items. Just drag and drop them to the toolbar where you want to add them. To remove some items from the toolbar, drag them from the toolbars and drop them at the Customize window. This will allow you to place everything on one row, saving lots of screen real estate. Firefox doesn't yet allow you to move the actual toolbars.
Keyboard Shortcuts table on this site for a list of the most common keyboard shortcuts. Many sites use the alt HTML property to display tooltips for images. The alt property has a very important purpose, which is to provide replacement text for images in browsers that cannot or do not (by user's choice) display images, and if graphical browsers display them as tooltips people will be discouraged from using them for their correct purpose.
If you're using Mozilla (Application Suite) as your mail client, you've probably noticed that Firefox either doesn't do anything or it starts Outlook E...
