Firefox 2

Just a few days have passed since Micro$oft loudily launched, after having "slept" for five years, Internet Explorer version 7 (which was discovered several security flaws just hours after its release), today the definitive version 2.0 of Mozilla Firefox became available.

Mozilla Foundation has announced several essential improvements for the successor of the former market leader Netscape Navigator and will include some features which are already present in another alternative browsers, such as the acclaimed Norwegian program Opera (as saving the latest browsing session and the closing button at the right of each tab). The version 2.0 comes less than two years after the 1.0, preceded of praise from several PC-devoted magazines and final users tired of Micro$oft’s sloppiness to face issues such as adware and spyware. One of the most expected improvements is the memory consumption, which according to Mozilla will be optimized. Let’s remember that’s one of the main (few) issues this open source program has.

Even though some experts claim Firefox "is not a magical cure", its features, its navigation convenience and efficiency, its easiness to customize and the fact of not being a Bill Gate$’s stuff are enough reasons to download it and use it, no matter its growing popularity has made it a target for the hackers, because Mozilla developers are working 24/7 next to the community in order to reduce the risks.
