Firefox 2 web browser

The award-winning Web browser is now faster, more secure, and fully customizable to your online life. With Firefox 2, we’ve added powerful new features that make your online experience even better

Firefox web browser features

Tabbed Browsing – a great time saving feature which makes it possible to view several web pages in one window.

Fast Searching – Google is built into tool bar, there are Keywords for your bookmarks and an intelligent quick search facility – this brings everything together from your PC, the site your viewing and the world wide web on one screen, fast.

Safety – Firefox is not integrated into your operating system and does not support popular scripts that are known to have security holes – so your personal information is safer. There is a Download Manager, so nothing from the Web will be loaded onto your machine without you first being asked for approval. Now includes active protection from online scams.

Automatic Popup Blocking – stop those annoying popup ads, or you can set it to ask you if you want a pop up to appear.

Dictionary Tooltip - unsure of a word? Double-click any word on the page you are viewing to see its definition.

Customisable – You can make your browser your own with customisable Toolbars and a Theme Manager. It's easy, choose from over a thousand useful add-ons that enhance Firefox.

Up-to-date – Firefox checks on the latest up-dates and improvements, which, unlike IE, are regular.

Compatible – Firefox is available for Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Mac OS X, and Linux.
