Information about Mozilla Firefox and its features

According to the analytical site StatCounter, as of April 2018, the browser Mozilla Firefox is the third most popular browser in the world, lagging behind Safari by a few tenths of a percent.

What makes Firefox stand out from the list of available browsers is its open source code, which allows third-party developers to create various add-ons and extensions for the browser.

Other pluses of the program include

1. Security provided by built-in plug-ins to block pop-ups, protect against spyware, encrypt passwords, and scan the data stream with built-in anti-virus.
2. Usability of the bookmarking system, through which the user can create folders with attachments, dividing bookmarks into lists, categories, or tags.
3. RSS feeds are built in, making the notification system user-friendly and accessible.
4. Synchronization of settings with other browsers.
5. Built-in spell-checker utility.

At the same time, the program has a number of disadvantages that the user should consider when choosing a browser

1. Updating the browser removes installed extensions.
2. Requirement of the program to system resources. And the demands are higher the more extensions the user installs in the browser.
3. Low speed of the browser.
4. Difficulty in customizing the application "for yourself" for inexperienced users.
5. The program does not have a built-in mechanism to disable the display of pictures when browsing the web.

Despite the shortcomings, Firefox is competently designed and functional application. New users will have to spend time to understand its work. However, the wide range of features of the browser and the constantly growing audience of users and third-party developers is a strong argument in favor of its installation.
