Mozilla Firefox 1.0 is the dream Internet browser you've been looking for. Featuring a host of small technical improvements, including tabbed browsing, built-in and customisable search bars, and a built-in RSS reader, Firefox browser is the one that should finally put a dent in Internet Explorer's unrivalled market dominance. Although its lack of ActiveX support might prevent some sites from working properly, after more than three weeks of use in our tests, Firefox 1.0 remained fast and stable, and displayed an impressive range of cutting-edge browsing options. We were able to view every Web site just fine, thanks. If you're fed up with the latest Internet Explorer security patch issued from Microsoft or with the latest virus to capitalise on some flaw in IE, you should switch to Firefox -- now.
Setup & interface
Firefox 1.0 runs on a variety of Windows operating systems, including Windows 98 through XP, as well as on Mac OS X and several varieties of Linux, including Red Hat Linux 8.0. By comparison, to get the latest version of Internet Explorer 6.0, you must already be running Windows XP SP2. If you're not, you'll have to pay for your operating system upgrade, as Microsoft no longer offers new versions of IE as standalone downloads. The hardware requirements for Firefox are minimal: PCs require only an Intel Pentium II or AMD K6 processor; Macs need a 266MHz PowerPC 604e, with 64MB of RAM and 52MB of drive space.
It took us about two minutes to download the Firefox 1.0 installer, and we had our browser up and running in less than 10 minutes. The Mozilla Organization offers a number of tools to ease the transition from Internet Explorer. For example, the application asked us if we wanted to import our bookmarks from IE, and then did so with aplomb.
Most of the Firefox interface labels are intuitive, although users may need to learn a few different menu terms from those in IE: Options instead of Internet Options, Cache instead of Internet Files. In fact, at a glance, Firefox looks and works almost exactly like Internet Explorer.
Perhaps the most noticeable interface difference from IE is the addition of a customisable search bar built into the Firefox menu bar. Although Google, Yahoo and others offer plug-in search bars for Internet Explorer, the Firefox search bar is much more flexible, allowing you to add not only other search engines but also Amazon.com, eBay.com, Dictionary.com -- and even IMDB.com.
Features
Firefox 1.0 does not reinvent the browser, but it does provide technical enhancements that make Web browsing faster, safer and easier. Like Internet Explorer, Firefox includes built-in controls to block pop-ups.
One major interface difference is Firefox's tabbed browsing feature, which lets you open several Web pages within a single browser window and quickly move among pages by clicking the tabs at the top of the window. Compare that to IE, in which you must open several instances of the Microsoft browser, each requiring system resources. So viewing multiple Internet pages in IE can tax your computer, while tabbing through multiple pages within Firefox will not. Tabbed browsing is also available in the Apple Safari and Opera browsers.
Another nice feature is a built-in RSS reader. In other words, Firefox delivers automated updates of news or blog content from sites that you subscribe to in advance. Internet Explorer offers no such beast. Mozilla calls these RSS feeds 'Live Bookmarks' because the content is dynamic. With Live Bookmarks in place, we were able to read the latest headlines from sites such as News.com, Slate.com and Slashdot.org. There are third-party RSS readers that work with IE 6.0, but it's nice to have this functionality built into your browser.
Firefox is more secure than Internet Explorer, in part because most criminal hackers look for holes in the industry leader -- that's just efficient business. But there are also several structural differences that make Firefox an inherently more secure browser. First, Firefox doesn't support VBScript and ActiveX Controls, which are often the source of attacks and vulnerabilities within IE. Unfortunately, the lack of ActiveX support also affects the performance of some Web sites. For example, the pop-up menu at Slate.com, a Microsoft site, didn't work within Firefox, although we were still able to navigate the site. Also, while Outlook Web Access did work, some of its features were missing or rendered differently. But at most sites, Firefox worked just as well as IE 6.0.
Another difference from Internet Explorer is in how Firefox handles secure Web sites, such as e-commerce or online banking sites. When visiting a secure site, Firefox highlights the address bar's URL in yellow and shows the Lock icon. If you click the Lock icon, you can review the site's security information and decide whether to continue. The domain name of the site you are visiting is also listed in the right-hand corner of secure windows, so you know the true source of every page. A criminal hacker might be able to spoof the location bar address, but he or she won't be able to spoof this secondary address display. Given all this security, we were still able to log on to secure financial sites, including Citibank.com and Fidelity.com, without any problems.
Like Microsoft, Mozilla has developers building helper applications for Firefox. Although there are more plug-ins available for Internet Explorer, the Firefox plug-ins, called extensions, are much more varied in nature. For example, ChatZilla is an IRC chat client, Adblock blocks flash advertising from Web sites and Mouse Gestures lets you navigate using simple mouse movements. There are currently 170 extensions available for Firefox, compared to several hundred plug-ins currently available for Internet Explorer.
Service & support
During our three-week test period, Firefox 1.0 didn't crash once, which was encouraging, considering it was still a pre-release version. Firefox is based on open-source code, which is both a good and a bad thing when it comes to getting support. On one hand, hundreds of open-source developers worldwide are working to create new programs and troubleshoot bugs. You can reach many of them through Mozilla's Web site, which features a rich knowledge base of potential problems and fixes, plus numerous message boards where experts can answer your tech-support problems. For example, we had difficulty using Launch.com with Firefox, and after consulting the message boards, we were able to identify the problem quickly. Mozilla can also connect you with real-time chats. Unfortunately, telephone support from Mozilla costs $39.99 (~£21.50) per incident. Microsoft charges £29 per incident for email and £45 per incident for telephone technical support.

I've been using Firefox since the pre-release beta. I really like the tabbed interface, the clarity of the overall layout, and especially the performance. It is SO much faster that IE. Reputedly it has less security flaws... can't comment on that as I guess that'll only become apparent over time.
Overall it's Ace.

9.00 out of 10I can't be bothered to go into detail, but the only CON listed is lack of ActiveX, which is the must vulnerable part of IE.... that's a PRO in my book. Also there were many bugs fixed between the PR and the release candidates, let alone form 1.0PR to 1.0 final.

10.00 out of 10Too much of Microsoft software is bloatware.... and people tend to only use 20% of features (and in most cases pay for the 80%). Firefox is like a breath of fresh air -- works fast, loads quickly, has tabbed browsing, stops the installation of dangerous code and works on nearly all Web sites. Try it and you will ditch IE.

9.50 out of 10Thanks to the team, Firefox is now ready for everyday use as your main browser.
Some w
Web sites still work only with MS Internet Explorer, but they will have to change! The features that these Web sites demand are the same ones used by hackers and virus writers.
Many useful extensions are available. Enthusiasts can modify most setting simply by changing the "chrome" files.

10.00 out of 10Apart from the fact that it works like a dream, giving the user a hassle-free experience, and with much less of the security concerns that attend the market leader, Firefox is free. Too few reviewers point out the pressure that free-cost should exert on the paid-for browsers -- and you DO pay for IE! If Mozilla can do something this good for no cost to the user, MS should be able to do much much better. The fact that they haven't done better -- over a long period -- is quite shocking. Maybe they don't regard the customers with the respect they deserve, regarding them more as a flock of geese providing golden eggs...

10.00 out of 10I've used Firefox since 0.8, and while that wasn't perfect it's been refined and refined until it became this. I also noticed a genuine speed increase in this version as well even on dialup.
- 9.50 out of 10
9.50 out of 10BTW: missing activeX-support should be listed under "pros", not "cons", because we all know that activeX is the greatest security threat in IE.

9.50 out of 10I switched to Firefox (from IE) half a year ago and nothing will make me switch back. Tabbed browsing, extensions, themes are just a few of its features which made me switch. I'm a web developer and was very happy to see that Firefox supported most of the web standards perfectly. IE makes its own standards and ruins my coding. Life would be much easier if I could code using standards without sticking to the crappy IE-standards.

9.50 out of 10I switched some months ago, and it.s been great. ActiveX is so much of a problem. Developers should really start coding to other browsers!
I'm not switching back. They should rework IE and come back with a better browser.
- 10.00 out of 10
10.00 out of 10Just downloaded it out of curiosity as I'm not one of those with a political vendetta against Microsoft, but I was so impressed that within a couple of days IE was history.
The tabbed browsing, live bookmarks, integrated browser, security features etc. are obvious recommendations, but it surprises me in many little ways. For example, today I realised that it nicely formats Web pages to appear clearly and completely when printed, something that I found endlessly frustrating with IE!
- 9.50 out of 10
9.50 out of 10I have suggested this to many people since discovering Mozilla Firefox. It beats IE by miles -- it's quicker, more secure, more reliable, has great forums for support. Why ain't you got it yet?
- 10.00 out of 10
10.00 out of 10You can sum up opinion about Firefox in few words. Totally awesome. Great look, so much faster than IE6, that it burns. So user friendly even a computer moron like me [ok almost] can use it with ease. I would really like to give a personal thank you to Blake Ross for making my life and work much more plesant, and everyone at The Mozilla Foundation for thier ongoing attention to our security. This is one man that appreciates Mozilla and Ross and doesn't mind putting it out there in the public arena!

- 9.50 out of 10

10.00 out of 10It works, it's fast, and from what people say who know far more about this than I do, it is far more secure than IE. There is absolutely no reason not to use it.
- 9.50 out of 10
9.50 out of 10I use it on Linux and Windows. Fantastic browser all around.
- 10.00 out of 10
10.00 out of 10Thanks for making it possible.
Its too cluttered. Too many features are not always better although it does have nicer looking buttons than IE. It also loads slower on my PC (2ghz/1gb/AMD64)than IE and some Web sites dont load properly at all. I have not had a problem with IE since installing SP2 and install my patches.
- 7.50 out of 10
7.50 out of 10The lack of ActiveX support means I still have to use IE for some sites. But that's the same subsystem that allows spyware/malware to slip into my PC. I can live without that.
- 10.00 out of 10
10.00 out of 10Stable, with many extensions that change/fix the browser behaviour, I highly recommend it. Useful for designers to test pages, and for the common user to browse in a more secure way.
- 9.50 out of 10
9.50 out of 10Yes, it is open source, and that's the reason why all the Microsoft bashers like it. But it's absolutely not perfect: it hasn't got more features than IE has. Just to make it work good you will need to download a lot of "extensions", and after installing extensions you will need to restart the browser. In the end all these extensions do is copy features from Opera. Firefox fanboys believe that "they" invented tabbed browsing, mouse gesture and a secure browser, while Opera had these features for years. Everyone who says this is the best browser out there after only using IE and Firefox should try Opera.

9.50 out of 10Firefox is just alright. Let's be honest with ourselves here! After all it is just a browser, the Firefox folks act like Macintosh zealots. Sure MS IE has a few flaws, but hey it also has its virtues as well. The point is, do you really think that MS will just let Firefox just take over? WRONG! Microsoft is the equivalent of Wal-Mart in their respective sphere. Good luck Firefox, see you in the scrapheap of useless software in 3 years!

9.00 out of 10This looks and behaves exactly like IE, so it is not exactly groundbreaking. Since it's an open-source project, support is of course non-existent. Overall, it's an average browser with little in the way of interesting features. Many IE shells like Maxthon and Avant, offer a lot more functionality, and they use the IE core, which is more compatible with the Web than Firefox is.
Try it out if you have some time to spare. If you are just a normal person who wants to get on with his or her Web browsing, don't bother.

10.00 out of 10A few sites have problems with this browser. Predictably, Microsoft's update sites refuse to work with it, so one needs to keep IE in order to update Windows & MS Office.
I suspect, as reported, that any insecurities/bugs will become evident once Firefox comes into more general use.
For the moment, however, these caveats are outweighed by a nice interface with some excellent features.

10.00 out of 10I admire the creators of Firefox for what they have done. I have tried it, and I have to say I just didn't get on with it. I often experienced my favourite pages rendering incorrectly. Some may argue this is because the pages have not been designed in accordance with the W3C rules, and have been coded with IE in mind however I do not have any of these problems using Opera 7.

Support is available on the net -- just try the alt.fan.mozilla newsgroup -- there are several very helpfull and knowledgeable people who answer all sorts of questions on Firefox and Thunderbird (also has some nice features).

10.00 out of 10I have been using Mozilla Firefox regularly now for the past 3 months and have been surprised by how much I value this application. Surfing the net is faster, taking less time to download pages (useful if you're still using a 56K connection). The browser contains a number of useful built-in programs and addtional ones can be downloaded as extensions.
I have been online for the past 12 years and tried other browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Opera, but since using Firefox regularly for this length of time, IE6 is never used.
- 10.00 out of 10
10.00 out of 10I know I'm in the minority... but I really can't see what all the fuss is about. It just really doesn't seem all that good to me! Perhaps it's just because I'm so used to IE, but I don't find it that easy to use.

9.50 out of 10Tabed viewing makes Firefox preferable to Microsoft's latest offering. In addition, easily customisable themes are a bonus, as is the display; which only gives buttons to the bare essentials. There are a few Web sites which refuse to load with Firefox, a small problem but otherwise a great broswer; especially since it's free. Fast and easy installation means that most can enjoy this software from Mozilla. Final note, as a Mac user, I have found no better alternative to Firefox.
- 9.00 out of 10
9.00 out of 10This browser shows great potential. To become useful to the average person, it will need to focus on 'standard' end users rather than the admirable dream of perfectly authored content everywhere. For instance, if a site is being viewed that isn't standards compliant, it should - like IE - try to present it as best it can. Only developers need to have an option for 'strict conformance' which would be useful for them to have always enabled when testing their sites.
Now that there's a reasonably solid base to build on, I really hope that an all-singing, all-dancing version 2 product comes along and become an alternative that prides itself on delivering what end-users want.

9.50 out of 10With Firefox you have something reliable, more or less secure, functional, and fast -- at least that is my opinion!
For me Internet explorer has never shown the plus points of Firefox, even while I used the Netscape and Mozilla suites, Internet Explorer couldn't give me the experience I demand out of a browser. In my opinion IE is slow, resource greedy and very unreliable. It's only plus point (and the only negative for firefox) is that IE supports ActiveX, which unfortunately, I have to use some sites that use it. But in that respect, we as consumers whould be exerting our collective consumer voice and stop sites form using prorietary code such as ActiveX and let us decide what browser we use, and not the owner of the site. After all we have the right to browse securely, a right Firefox gives us, IE does not!

10.00 out of 10As soon as I switched from IE to Firefox I felt as if I had a top-notch security gate between my PC and the world. Very little, if any, spyware and adware. Tab browsing is the way to go. I used several accelerators with IE but did not find much of a difference. The Firefox browser is super-fast in displaying web pages thus making it possible to chuck the accelerator(s). Using acceleration also cuts down on the quality of display.....another plus for the super-fast Firefox.
- 9.50 out of 10
9.50 out of 10Got sick of removing spyware, adware etc off my Dad's PC so I put Firefox on.
He knows nothing about PCs at all -- in fact, he is a bit computer phobic, I asked him after a month or so if he was happy with Firefox. He said it was great: no more spyware or adware, runs quickly and he loves tabbed browsing.
All in all I'd say it was a great product, if people with Windows actually had to install a Web browser then I think Firefox's market share would be at almost 90% because it outclasses IE in nearly every respect.

The other complaint is not being able to use a more complex RSS Reader; I like to be able to combine feed headlines from various web sites into one reading pane.
- 9.00 out of 10
9.00 out of 10No-one has an excuse to be using IE. The great features of Firefox (and those coming soon), speed, security and a clean interface make Firefox a clear winner. It's the only leading browser that will run Windows (even you 95 people!), Linux and Mac OS. (And some unoficial builds run on phones, PDAs, consoles!). It's free (and open-source!), it's very safe, fast and simply the best around.
Im an IT Director, and over the past week I have changed all the computers (250 of them) in our company to Firefox. Ever since then I have had no Security problems whatsoever. I even have co-workers asking for a CD of Firefox to take home and use.

10.00 out of 10For the FEW pages I can't see using FF, I launch IE, but in almost a year, I can't remember the last time I've actually launched IE for anything other than the Windows Update site.
No crashes, no ActiveX trojan code, no worries about phishing, and no annoying advertising?
What's NOT to like?

10.00 out of 10Love it, it's quick and functional. It is heads above IE.

9.50 out of 10Propably more for the slight advanced. Opposed to Opera, Firefox 'still' has some weird handling of various items, e.g. the scrolling divs. Firfox is a major kick**s anyways due to the extensions. The barebone Firefox and the rendering-engine it self leaves a few wishes unfullfilled, but the graphic rendering is quick though, and if the extension adding whatever you might need doesn't exist; you don't need it anyway ;-)

9.50 out of 10No software is perfect, but this is the closest that I've ever seen. Open source is is more open to scrutiny, therefore more trustworthy.

10.00 out of 10With the exception of a few security flaws that I fell victim to, I'm absolutely enthralled with this product. From what I've been seeing from the Betas, it will soon be a very solid competitor to IE.
