  • Popup Blocking
  • Stop annoying popup ads in their tracks with Firefox's built in popup blocker.

  • Privacy and Security
  • Built with your security in mind, Firefox keeps your computer safe from malicious spyware by not loading harmful ActiveX controls. A comprehensive set of privacy tools keep your online activity your business.

  • Hassle-Free Downloading
  • Files you download are automatically saved to your Desktop so they're easy to find. Fewer prompts mean files download quicker.
  • Fits Like a Glove
  • Simple and intuitive, yet fully featured,
    Firefox has all the functions you're used to - Bookmarks, History, Full Screen, Text Zooming to make pages with small text easier to read, etc.
  • S, M, L or XL—It's Your Choice
  • Firefox is the most customizable browser on the planet. Customize your toolbars to add additional buttons, install new Extensions that add new features, add new Themes to browse with style, and use the adaptive search system to allow you to search an infinite number of engines. Firefox is as big or small as you want.
  • Setup's a Snap
  • At only 4.7MB (Windows), Firefox takes just a few minutes to download over a slow connection and seconds over a fast connection. The installer gets you set up quickly, and the new Easy Transition system imports all of your settings - Favorites, passwords and other data from Internet Explorer and other browsers - so you can start surfing right away.
  • A Developer's Best Friend
  • Firefox comes with a standard set of developer tools including a powerful JavaScript and CSS error/warning console, and an optional Document Inspector that gives detailed insight about your pages.
  • Read Mail—Not Spam
  • Thunderbird is the perfect complement to Firefox.
