Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Use FireFox


If you have been looking carefully at what most Internet Marketers use when they browse online, you realized they all have something in common. Yep you guess it, they use FireFox to browse the Internet.

Here are Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Use FireFox

1. SEO Friendly Plug Ins

Incase you are not aware you can install plug-ins onto your Firefox which I find it VERY useful especially when I need to see what Alexa and Page rank of a website is using. I am currently using Search Status Plug-in to track websites I am looking at.

Below is a screen shot what it can do.

As you can see from the image, it seriously a must have tool to help you track and see if a website is good as it will show you PageRank, Alexa Ranking and even track your Adsense Earnings! Cool or what! =P

2. Multiple Support of Languages

As a webmaster myself and a serious web developer and full time Internet Marketer, Firefox is a feature rich browser which allows me to view multiple languages all in one browser. Firefox supports many W3C stands like XML, PHP, CSS, XHTML, etc.

For Internet Marketers like me who looks are HTML or PHP codes, viewing the source code in the browser was made easy by just right click and select view source (Hint: We normally see source code to spy on our competitors.. =P )

The best I like about Firefox is it’s an Open Source software! Firefox source code is open to development by programmers worldwide, which means features and updates are constantly being added every month which we can add more tools to our browsers and customize to what we need. We can even program our own plug-ins to what we need!

3. Higher Security Feature

Are you sometimes afraid people can hack you when you surf online? Well guess what Firebox is much more secure and constantly due to many people contributing to make FireFox a secure tools for us!

Just imagine because FireFox is open source where anyone in the world can contribute, would a few hundred of stuff programming a widely used browser like IE be better compared to millions of people contribute to a open source browsers =)

4. Faster Browsing With Less Resources Needed

Have you experience when you are all in a cafe area, there is free internet access. Your battery tend to go flat faster? Well do you know the reason why? It is because of the amount of task is running in the background not many people are aware of.

Because of FireFox’s light design, it not only load faster, more stable but it uses up less resources on your computers and comes with TONS and TONS of better features.

5. Fully Customizable

With over 1000’s of add-ons available online, you can custom your web browser from add-ons, themes and toolbars; Firefox has it all!

Some great add-ons I use are add-ons to allow me to check the weather in my browser and also allow to check email by clicking just a button. Makes my surfing more easy and customizable as I only put what I need.

You can go to Mozilla’s Firefox add-on page to check out the tons of add-ons they have here

And there you got it, the top 5 reasons why you should use FireFox, oh yeah in case you are wondering you need to pay for FireFox, you do not have too because it’s FREE!

    On top of that, Firefox seems to be able to fine tune small errors. Whenever I have problem with my website, it looks perfectly fine on Firefox but looks screwed in IE 6.0 and IE 7.0.

    Though IE is not very stable especially IE7, we still have to use it to surf website optimized for IE. This is especially true if active x controls are used. Eg. website with embedded window media player. Maybe the active x plugins for firefox may solve some of the problem. The easier method is to switch back to IE when firefox display is weird.

    Yes Alvin,

    I agreed with you that using FireFox had alot of advantages and benefits. I personally use them myself. I had stop using IE as it is really not stable but I guess most people still use IE as not much people are familiar with FireFox
