Features of Firefox

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. These are some of the features of Mozilla Firefox that distinguish it from other web browsers such as Internet Explorer. In an effort to combat interface bloat and to allow the browser to be shipped as a small, pared-down core easily customizable to meet individual users' needs, Firefox relies on the extension system to allow users to modify the browser according to their requirements instead of providing all features in the standard distribution. Firefox supports most basic Web standards including HTML, XML, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, DOM, MathML, SVG, XSLT and XPath. Firefox's standards support and growing popularity have been credited as one reason Internet Explorer 7 was to be released with improved standards support.
