Mozilla release new Firefox

Nick Verhaar
The world we live in today is becoming increasingly dependent upon digital technologies and the internet, not only to do business but also to help us get through our everyday lives.
For many people, simply browsing the internet has become an absolute necessity and it is actually reaching the stage where your regular internet browser just doesn’t cut it in terms of security and functionality. This is where the Mozilla Foundation has proven itself as a serious competitor among the top internet browsers.
The Mozilla Foundation has been hard at work on their latest instalment of the Firefox browser, improving and developing the already exceptional browser out of sight.
Weighing in at a mere five megabytes, the latest Firefox release packs more features and functionality than you could ever hope to achieve from Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, which commonly forces users into hefty downloads in excess of 70 megabytes.
Improved virus, spyware and adware blocking are just a taste of what’s in store for users of the new Firefox. A lot of development time has also gone into the performance and behaviour of the new Firefox browser, resulting in a faster, leaner and cleaner browser with no memory leaks or performance issues that some previous versions seemed to suffered from.
Automatic updates are a new addition in this release, keeping your browser up to date with security and feature enhancements as they become available. Another extremely useful feature is the ability to download and install additional extensions, making it possible to incorporate functionality such as weather reports, download managers, and hundreds of other exciting plug-ins to improve your browsing experience.
