[break]Mozilla Firefox is a slim version of the open source browsers Mozilla Suite and SeaMonkey. The surfing program was previously known as Phoenix and Firebird, but because these names seemed practically the same as two other open source programs, Mozilla decided to change the name. Firefox makes browsing a lot easier with its built-in pop-up blocker and the ability to browse using tabs. In addition, login details of forums and websites can also be saved, which are then automatically filled in every time you visit the page.
