features that have made Mozilla Firefox so popular are the simple and effective
UI, browser speed and strong security capabilities. The browser is particularly

Easier Browsing
Mozilla put of a lot of resources into creating a simple but effective UI aimed at
making browsing quicker and easier. They created the tab structure that has
been adopted by most other browsers. In recent years Mozilla has also
focused on maximizing browsing area by simplifying toolbar controls to
just a Firefox button (which contains settings and options) and back/forward
buttons. The URL box features direct Google searching as well as an auto
predict/history feature called Awesome Bar. On the right side of the URL
box there are bookmarking, history and refresh buttons. To the right of the
URL box is a search box which allows you to customize your search engine
options. Outside of that a view button controls what you see below the URL.
Next to that you have the download history and home buttons.

Speed
Mozilla Firefox boasts impressive page load speeds thanks to the excellent
JagerMonkey JavaScript engine. Start up speed and graphics rendering are
also among the quickest in the market. Firefox manages complex video and
web content using layer-based Direct2D and Driect3D graphics systems.
Crash protection ensures only the plugin causing the issue stops working,
not the rest of the content being browsed. Reloading the page restarts any
affected plugins. The tab system and Awesome Bar have been streamlined
to launch/get results very quickly too.

Security
Firefox was the first browser to introduce a private browsing feature which
allows you to use the internet more anonymously and securely. History,
searches, passwords, downloads, cookies and cached content are all
removed on shutdown. Minimizing the chances of another user stealing
your identity or finding confidential information. Content security,
anti-phishing technology and antivirus/antimalware integration ensures
your browsing experience is as safe as possible.
