Firefox is what’s happening now on the web

If you are still somewhat frustrated with surfing the Internet and you are still using Microsoft’s Internet Explorer as your browser, don’t you think the two could be correlated?


The free Firefox browser provides a much better surfing experience than Internet Explorer, and has a pop-up ad blocker built in by default. Next to the address bar it has a text box to search Google, Yahoo!, Amazon.com, Answers.com, or eBay without having to first go to those sites. This means fewer clicks and less time waiting for those sites to load up before you can search them, which saves you time and makes you more efficient.

The best part of Firefox is the tabbed browsing feature. Tabbed browsing means you can load up several websites in different tabs of the same browser. So you end up with one browser open on your Windows toolbar, but within that browser you can surf several websites across the tabs. Much like you can use Alt+Tab to switch between open browsers, you can use Control+Tab to switch between open tabs in the single Firefox browser.

Finally, the look/feel of Firefox is still very close to Internet Explorer, so you won’t feel like you are on another planet. I strongly encourage you to download Firefox and see for yourself. It is absolutely free, contains no spyware, and it will even automatically import all of your IE Favorites.

Firefox 2.0 just got released, but I’ve heard it’s a skipper. Stick to your old version until the next release.
