Introduction to How Firefox
             Works

 A Web browser is sort of like the tires on
  your car. You don't really give them much
daily thought, but without them, you're not
  going anywhere. The second something goes
wrong, you definitely notice.­A Web browser

Firefox History

    The origins of Firefox can be traced
directly to Netscape, a compan­y whose Web
    browser, Netscape Navigator, was the
dominant browser before Microsoft developed
  Internet Explorer. The internal company
      name for the browser was Mozilla.
  Eventually, Netscape released the source
   code for Navigator under an open source
 license, meaning anyone could see and use
                  the code.
Firefox Basics
 The easiest way to learn about Firefox is
  to go ahead and download it (it's free).
    You can find it at the official site:
  http://www.getfirefox.com. There you'll
find the latest version of Firefox: Firefox
   3.5. If you're hesitant to install and
  learn to use a new program, rest assured
that Firefox looks and acts very similar to
     Internet Explorer and most other Web
   browsers. There's even a feature for IE
users that lists the expressions with which
      you're familiar and tells you the
    corresponding Firefox names for those
                  functions.
Firefox Features
   Firefox comes with a few useful features that set it
  apart from earlier versions of Internet Explorer -- so
   useful, in fact, that virtually every other browser,
  including Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari and Google
Chrome, has also adopted them. One of the most noticeable
    is tabbed browsing. If you're browsing in Internet
 Explorer 6, 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.
Firefox Extensions

      Firefox extensions range from the
indispensable (ad blocking) t­o the utterly
    silly (an extension that changes the
Options menu's definition of "Cookies" from
  a technical explanation to "Cookies are
 delicious delicacies"). Here are a few of
        the more notable extensions.
                 * Themes
                *Gestures
                *FoxyTunes
Firefox Security

Firefox simply handles security differently from Internet
  Explorer. Where Internet Explorer uses security zones,
  which can sometimes be confused by malicious software,
Firefox does not rely on zones. Also, Firefox doesn't use
 digital signatures, which are verifications programmers
   can purchase. If you try to install software on your
 computer, Internet Explorer checks to see if the digital
signature matches the actual vendor of the program. Peter
Torr, a program manager at Microsoft, pointed this out as
a serious flaw in Firefox's security. However, a digital
   signature doesn't guarantee safe software, either. It
just means that someone paid for the signature, and there
  have been cases of fraudulent signatures being issued.

You don't really give them much daily thought, but without them, you're not going anywhere. The second something goes wrong, you definitely notice.
  • 2. Firefox History The origins of Firefox can be traced directly to Netscape, a compan­y whose Web browser, Netscape Navigator, was the dominant browser before Microsoft developed Internet Explorer. The internal company name for the browser was Mozilla. Eventually, Netscape released the source code for Navigator under an open source license, meaning anyone could see and use the code.
  • 3. Firefox Basics The easiest way to learn about Firefox is to go ahead and download it (it's free). You can find it at the official site: http://www.getfirefox.com. There you'll find the latest version of Firefox: Firefox 3.5. If you're hesitant to install and learn to use a new program, rest assured that Firefox looks and acts very similar to Internet Explorer and most other Web browsers. There's even a feature for IE users that lists the expressions with which you're familiar and tells you the corresponding Firefox names for those functions.
  • 4. Firefox Features Firefox comes with a few useful features that set it apart from earlier versions of Internet Explorer -- so useful, in fact, that virtually every other browser, including Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari and Google Chrome, has also adopted them. One of the most noticeable is tabbed browsing. If you're browsing in Internet Explorer 6, 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.
  • 5. Firefox Extensions Firefox extensions range from the indispensable (ad blocking) t­o the utterly silly (an extension that changes the Options menu's definition of "Cookies" from a technical explanation to "Cookies are delicious delicacies"). Here are a few of the more notable extensions. * Themes *Gestures *FoxyTunes
  • 6. Firefox Security Firefox simply handles security differently from Internet Explorer. Where Internet Explorer uses security zones, which can sometimes be confused by malicious software, Firefox does not rely on zones. Also, Firefox doesn't use digital signatures, which are verifications programmers can purchase. If you try to install software on your computer, Internet Explorer checks to see if the digital signature matches the actual vendor of the program. Peter Torr, a program manager at Microsoft, pointed this out as a serious flaw in Firefox's security. However, a digital signature doesn't guarantee safe software, either. It just means that someone paid for the signature, and there have been cases of fraudulent signatures being issued.
