Switch to Firefox
Mozilla Firefox is a free, multi-platform, open-source web browser. No matter your operating system (Windows, Mac OS, Linux), you can upgrade to Firefox and improve both productivity and security. Firefox also offers unrivaled customization, allowing you to personalize the internet.
Performance, Productivity, and Security
Firefox offers more secure internet browsing with fewer security vulnerabilities than Internet Explorer. Also, automatic updates quickly and easily (literally one click) patch any known issues. Firefox also complies with internet standards, making websites look the way they should. Firefox is tested before each release by its large user base, helping Mozilla address any problems and fix them before they are exploited. The new Firefox 3 that debuts in June will be more responsive and run faster than Internet Explorer, even on older computers. Highly customizable tabbed browsing can help increase efficiency, allowing you to keep more sites open without the need for re-opening windows.
Customization with Add-ons
Firefox allows for more personalized browsing with their incredible selection of user developed add-ons. These range from music players like Foxytunes, which allows you to control your media player without switching windows, to AdBlock plus, an add-on that removes almost all ads from the internet, not just pop-ups. Other popular add-ons include Forcastfox weather updates in your status bar, the easy and secure FTP client FireFTP , and Tab Mix Plus for even further custimaztion in tabbed browsing.
Making the Switch
