I have been using Firefox since it was offered for beta testing. I've been using it since late June( roughly around that time). I loved it ever since.

I really hate pop-ups and since December of last year, a sudden surge of pop-ups just emerge and really nasty coz they have become annoyingly large in number and size. When there was an invite from a website for me to try it with the promise that they will minimize pop-ups, I jumped on the bandwagon and tried it. To my surprise, they really deliver what was expected of them. So far, I've been using this and most of the websites I go to have been Firefox-compatible.

Mozilla is the developer of Firefox. Better yet, the mozilla programmers are the ones who strip the hell out of netscape and called it Firefox

Yes kapatid, 1.0

er... what am talking about is the mozilla suite... it's different from firefox.

Web-browser, advanced e-mail and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editing made simple -- all your Internet needs in one application.

Firefox is a free, open-source web browser for Windows, Linux and Mac OS 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 the standalone Mozilla browser. The user interface in Firefox differs from Mozilla in many ways. For example, Firefox has customizable toolbars.

Firefox and all other Mozilla-based products are more secure. Why? 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.
* There is no support for VBScript and ActiveX, two technologies which are the reasons for many IE security holes.
* No spyware/adware software can automatically install in Firefox just by visiting a web site.
* Firefox doesn't use Microsoft's Java VM, which has a history of more flaws than other Java VMs.
* You have complete control over cookies.

OO nga pala, Mozilla just released its free email client dubbed as MOZILLA THUNDERBIRD if anyone is interested. Just downloaded one for myself.

Matagal na ko nag DL ng Firefox 1.0, kung ngayon ka lang mag DL ng 1.0, baka kasama na dun ang critical update.

Good : Free, spyware free, open source
Bad : Plug-ins and Updates
Ugly : Use it if you don't like IE
