Editor's review of Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.13

5.0 stars
"A skillful and secure Web-surfing tool"

Read CNET senior editor Rob Vamosi's extended review of Firefox 2, or watch a video tour of the new features.

Even though Internet Explorer dominates the Web browser market, you might wonder why if you spend some time with Mozilla Firefox. This light and nimble Web wonder brought tabbed browsing into the mainstream (IE7 recently jumped on the bandwagon) and offers countless ways to customize it through extensions and themes. Drag-and-drop tabs with individual close buttons help keep your content organized the way you like, and you can further streamline your browsing through the use of extensive hot keys. You'll find all of the regular options and features required for surfing the Web in the default setup, but the groundbreaking features come with the thousands of third-party extensions. Likewise, if you don't like the look of the default interface, there are hundreds of slick themes to use, though many weren't updated for version 2 at its release.

Firefox is the perfect browser for those involved with Web design and coding. A JavaScript debugger comes standard, and Firefox displays the page-source code in a new window, using indents and color-coded tags similar to an HTML editor. The built-in pop-up blocker works great for most sites, and new antiphishing protections and enhanced security for extensions are in the version 2 release. Anyone looking for a full-featured browser with seemingly endless ways to customize should download this powerhouse.

"i hate it..."

by rrtopaz on April 4, 2008

Pros: lots of themes...free...

Cons: nothing stays the same from page to page; when i set my fonts and sizes, every page reverts back to its' original size, even though i've reset it back in options...
doesn't remember log-in; you probably have to spend time and search for a plug-in...is slower than my deepnet, browzar, opera...too many warning windows pop-up for all kinds of stuff: webpage not encrypted, downloads blocked until okayed, etc...i've got a lot of protection in my pc; don't need a browser to constantly remind me of things...

"gets worse and worse"

by alice_b0wie on March 26, 2008

Pros: it has plug ins

Cons: with every new update it gets worse and worse. it's 100% useless junk. it's bloated beyond repair, takes forever to load up. it's too slow for me.
