Mozilla Firefox: main challenger to IE

BKJIA exclusive translation] in today's browser market, Firefox's browser market share is firmly in the second place, second only to IE, and has become a major alternative browser for users who want to abandon IE. Although Firefox previously played the main challenger of IE, it is now considered a safe and stable web browser.

Although Firefox has more practical features and functions, its biggest advantage is its huge plug-in Library: With plug-ins, you can add almost any features to Firefox. Although Google Chrome and other competitors have been striving to improve their respective plug-in communities, Firefox absolutely has the largest and most mature plug-in libraries; if users are looking for a highly customized browser, they will almost always turn to Firefox.

But one problem with the plug-in is that anyone can write the plug-in, and the plug-in can be installed from anywhere. Firefox's performance and stability problems often (but not always) can be attributed to the problems of a installed plug-in.

Of course, Mozilla has not yet taken the wait action for its flagship Web browser; Firefox 4 is about to be launched (currently in the testing stage), and Mozilla seems to be working on solving problems existing before Firefox, in addition, they are also learning from some competitors.

As mentioned above, Firefox 4 has many features in common with Chrome's interface, including the top of the tab bar and a single menu button. With the help of the new underlying engine, Firefox 4 seems to have greatly improved its performance and overall speed.

Although Mozilla Firefox does not strive to maximize its functionality as it previously did, it is still very powerful and a good choice for users who want to expand and customize web browsers.

At present, as long as enterprises want to use a single browser platform, they have to put Firefox first. Mozilla's browser can run on every platform, with a series of rich features and strong support for standards. Mozilla has always been outstanding in responding quickly to browser problems. Considering that Firefox has taken a relatively traditional upgrade path, IT staff are less stressed in employee training and writing applications that can run in browsers.
