Firefox
Introduction
Web browser market has been quiet for a number of years now. The only interesting (and very beautiful looking) alternative to Internet Explorer has been Opera browser, which worked significantly faster, featured tabbed browsing and was compling nicely with the W3C standards.
We were intially concerned about using FireFox as it was too tightly related to the very bad and horribly buggy Netscape browser. For this reason we waited to see how FireFox was going to develop and also wanted to hear some user reports on why they like or dislike the software.
So why change?
One significant question related to browser use is: "Why should I change a tool which is designed for doing something really simple – browsing the web?".
Initial search for the answer to this question is very buffling. There are no obvious reasons for this. However, reasons are very much there.
FireFox is much more configurable browser than Internet Explorer. Its configurability is not present just in the simple aspects like security and connection, but in the ways in which you can browse the Web.
