Firefox 2 Why Things Will Never be the Same

Way back in October, the Mozilla Corporation released Firefox 2.0, the third major release of its award-winning Web browser (1.0 and 1.5 were the previous milestones)s. As a long-time Firefox user?I was using the product back when it was originally called Phoenix?you might have expected me to jump all over Firefox 2.0. But the truth is, Mozilla really let me down with this one. Unlike its major competitor, Internet Explorer 7 (see my review), Firefox 2 doesn?t include any truly major new features. And its graphical overhaul is ugly, especially in Windows Vista.

Most egregious, however, is Firefox?s pathetic new anti-phishing feature, which is almost laughably bad.A lackluster Firefox upgrade doesn?t signal the end of times. But coming as it did right as Windows Vista development was winding down, Firefox 2 was a bit of bad timing for me. The problem was, I needed to test Vista features like IE 7 regularly, and since IE 7 was so good, I had little reason to jump ship to a new version of Firefox that, frankly, was rubbing me the wrong way. Had IE 7 been a dog like previous versions, or had Firefox 2 been a bit more exciting, things would have gone differently. As it was, I was surprised to see myself evolving into an IE user over the last few months of 2006.

Ultimately, old habits do die hard. I kept installing Firefox 2 for compatibility testing, and though I had primarily switched to IE 7, I would occasionally fire up the new version of my old favorite and see how things were evolving. Since October, Mozilla has issued at least one minor update to Firefox 2, bringing it up to version 2.0.0.1 by the time of this writing. And I?ve found ways to work around some of my bigger Firefox 2 problems.

So I?ve been remiss in not reviewing this browser, but I?m going to make up for it now. FireFox and FoxFire 2 still represents a viable and even desirable alternative to IE, even though the latest upgrade didn?t add any exciting new features. If you can get over the lack of progress, you might be happy to discover again, as I did, that Firefox is a neat product that still deserves your attention.

Firefox 2.0 a Brand New World

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:00:11 +0000

In just a few years, Firefox has taken the previously dormant browsing market by storm and woken the slumbering giant Microsoft. The Mozilla browser now owns 12-14% of the browser market (the number varies depending on the source – see Wikipedia for more). The Firefox brand is also making an impact, thanks in part to the Spread Firefox campaign. For example, last year Firefox was voted the #7 global brand by brandchannel.com. But the question is still up in the air: will Firefox ever get close to Internet Explorer?s market share?

A recent post about IE7 on TechCrunch generated a lot of comments complaining about the lack of innovation in the Microsoft product. The timeline between IE6 and IE7 has been unusually long by software standards, so it was reasonable to expect a decent amount of innovation. But despite major improvements and work towards standards support, IE7 looks like a Firefox wannabe.

So one would expect that Firefox has a chance to further cut down IE?s lead in the browser market, by introducing further innovation and continuing to improve the browsing user experience. Let?s look and see?

User interface improvements

The first thing that stands out in the new Firefox is the more modern, snappier look and feel. Everything is more shinny, more playful and more clickable. Tabbed browsing was a major browser innovation that Firefox popularized – and in version 2.0 there are further improvements to this. By default, the links now open in a new tab instead of a new window and each tab has its own close button. There is also a new handy way of switching between the tabs, via a pulldown list of all open tabs.

All these improvements are subtle, but good productivity boosters for the user.

Search improvements Search is probably the most fundamental thing we do online and Firefox excels at integrating search engines in a very smart way. With this new release, Firefox adds the search completion mechanism, which works just like Google complete. As soon as the user starts typing, potential search phrases show up.

This feature has been also added to the Firefox search engine format, allowing each search engine to support it. Perhaps the most interesting new thing in Firefox 2.0 is the integration of RSS Readers. Since its early days, Firefox has made a commitment to usability and ease of use, which implies integrating all things web right into the browser. Wiring search engines into the browser is one example. In Firefox 2.0 we now see similar integration done with RSS readers.
