Firefox comes with a few useful features that set it apart from Internet Explorer. One of the most
noticeable is tabbed browsing. If you are browsing in Internet Explorer, and you want to visit a
new Web site while keeping your current one open, you have to open a completely new browser window.
Intensive Web surfing can result in browser windows cluttering up your taskbar and dragging on
system resources. Firefox solves that by allowing sites to open in separate tabs within the same
browser window. Instead of switching between browser windows, a user can change between two or more
different sites by clicking on the tabs that appear just below the toolbar in Firefox.
Update notifications
The update mechanism works cool! Firefox shows us the list of updates that are available and offers us to download. It is not limited to the base code, but for the extensions and themes.
Livemarks are a cross between aggregation channels and bookmarks - Live Bookmarks if you like.
If a page has an RSS feed, a lightning icon
appears in the fourth box on the status bar, and clicking on it lets you choose a Livemark to add
to your bookmarks. The livemark then appears as a folder, with its items as bookmarks in the folder.
It's quite a basic but potentially useful function. It Supports Atom/RDF/RSS feeds.
Secure sites
If you are connected to a secure site, then the address bar will have a padlock by the arrow on the
right and the background will turn yellow. The padlock also appears on the status bar as normal.
Therefore, if the address bar isn’t yellow, then it’s not safe to give over credit card
details. IE6 can only manage 128-bit, so your data is even
safer with firefox.
Some of the ebooks listed here are in compressed html format. A web browser which automatically decompress these webpages
is Mozilla Firefox. Please note that internet explorer 6 do not support this mechanism.
Faster Browsing
Improvements to the engine that powers Firefox deliver more accurate display of the pages in FreeBookZone and all other complex Web sites.
Extensibility
Firefox is the most customisable browser. You can do more than browsing with this. FreeBookZone.com is utilising
all the features of firefox.
