Install Firefox Today!

Most people assume erroneously that the only web browser they can use is the one that comes with their computer, Internet Explorer. They do not realize that there is a wide range of other web browsers out there, including Opera, Maxthon, and the undisputed king of browsers, Mozilla Firefox. If you are not already using Firefox, you are doing yourself a great disservice.

Firefox is a product of the open source software movement. Originally called Mozilla, teams of programmers all around the world worked to create a browser that utilized system resources efficiently and was resistant to viruses and spyware. Since its release, Firefox has quickly one the hearts and minds of web browsers throughout the world.

A quick visit to http://www.getfirefox.com will get you started with your download. After a painless install, you are ready to go exploring with your new best friend on the Internet. Right after installation, you will notice the various features that come built into Firefox.

Your favorite search engines are built right into the toolbar, and you have the option of toggling between Google, Yahoo, Amazon, Answers.com and even eBay. The built-in spellchecker will prevent you from making any embarrassing mistakes, and the session restore functionality will ensure that you don't lose information in the event of a system crash.

A major draw of Firefox is its innate resistance to malware. Each day, newspapers are full of reports of hijacked computers and credit fraud. What they neglect to mention is that the vast majority of viruses, spyware and Trojan horses out there specifically target Internet Explorer. Using Internet Explorer is a beacon for every hacker out there, similar to hanging a sign on your monitor inviting malicious programs to visit your computer.
