Mozilla Firebird evolves into the new Firefox 0.8 release.
Although Internet Explorer is the most globally-compatible browser on the market, there are other browsers available. One of the most noticable ones is Mozilla Firefox 0.8 (Formerly known as Mozilla Firebird), the reason this browser is so noticeable is because it's open-source, does what it says and it's developers listen to it's use. Not to forget it is completely free to download, install and use.

Firefox is an
award winning preview of next generation browsing technology from mozilla.org.
Firefox empowers you to accomplish your online activities faster, more safely and efficiently than any other browser, period. Built with Tab browsing, popup blocking and a number of other seamless innovations, Firefox stands out ahead.
Features:
Tabbed-Browsing
Firefox presents a fast and convenient way to browse the web - now you can open several pages in one window in separate browser tabs. Open links in the background while you read a web page, then continue to the links when you're done - pages are available when you need them, making the web feel faster even over slow connections.

Popup Blocking
Popup advertising is one of the most annoying things to hit the web in recent years. Firefox shields you from unwanted popup advertising. It also gives you control to allow certain sites to open popup windows, if required to operate.

-------------------
In my opinion this is one of the best browsers out there. I am currently using
Internet Explorer,
Opera and
Firefox as my default browser. As far as speed goes, I haven't really compared Firefox to the other browsers as it is a very new release..maybe in the near future I might post a review/compare article for
Internet Explorer,
Opera,
Avant Browser,
MyIE2 and last but not least,
Firefox.
