Take a Good Look at Firefox

Microsoft’s Internet Explorer is one of the most popular browsers because it does not require the hassle of installation and is very convenient since it rides along with the installation of Windows, an operating system. However a lot of people still choose to go that extra mile and take the time and effort out to install Mozilla Firefox, which is yet another extremely popular web browser.

Firefox symbolizes the browser of choice for the group of people who do not like using Internet Explorer or they prefer more functionality and flexibility in their web browser. One of the best aspects of Firefox is that you can use add-ons which are also called ‘plug-ins’ - these are small programs that can help enhance the functionality of your web browser. Ever since its introduction in 2007, there has been over two billion downloads just for add-ons.

With the help of add-ons you can use a plethora of different services in one place namely the browser. The main reason responsible for the extreme popularity of add-ons can be attributed to the fact that these take away the requirement for downloading separate programs and installing them on your computer, thus using up a lot of space.

Once you have installed this add-on, you will be able to see a small icon which would advise you whether a website is safe, malicious or unknown. While a red icon implies a malicious site, green denotes ‘safe’ and yellow stands for unknown.

With the help of this add-on you will never have to deal with those frustrating ads that keep popping up. This small and simple program can help you to make your own personal configurations and block the ads that you do not wish to see.

If you are using Firefox then you should definitely download FireFTP, which is a free FTP client that can help save you from frustration while waiting for web pages to upload or download. It is must faster in comparison to other FTP clients and it saves up plenty of your time.
