Software Detail.
Mozilla Firefox
(or simply Firefox) is a free and open-source web browser developed by
Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiary, Mozilla Corporation. Firefox is
available for Windows, macOS and Linux operating systems. Its sibling, Firefox
for Android, is available for Android. Firefox uses the Gecko layout engine to
render web pages, which implements current and anticipated web standards. An additional version, Firefox for iOS, was released in late 2015; however,
because of artificial restrictions imposed by Apple Inc., it is forced to use
the platform-bundled WebKit layout engine.
History of Firefox
The Firefox project began as an experimental branch of the
Mozilla project by Dave Hyatt, Joe Hewitt, and Blake Ross. They believed the
commercial requirements of Netscape's sponsorship and developer-driven feature
creep compromised the utility of the Mozilla browser. To combat what they
saw as the Mozilla Suite's software bloat, they created a stand-alone browser,
with which they intended to replace the Mozilla Suite. On April 3, 2003,
the Mozilla Organization announced that they planned to change their focus from
the Mozilla Suite to Firefox and Thunderbird. The community-driven
Sea Monkey was formed and eventually replaced the Mozilla Application Suite in
2005.
Features
Features
Features include tabbed browsing, spell checking, incremental find, live
bookmarking, Smart Bookmarks, a download manager, private browsing,
location-aware browsing (also known as "geolocation") based on a Google
service, and an integrated search system, which uses Google by default in most
markets. Additionally, Firefox provides an environment for web developers in
which they can use built-in tools, such as the Error Console or the DOM
Inspector, or extensions, such as Firebug and more recently there has been an
integration feature with Pocket. Firefox Hello was an implementation of Web RTC,
added in October 2014, which allows users of Firefox and other compatible
systems to have a video call, with the extra feature of screen and file sharing
by sending a link to each other. Firefox Hello is scheduled to be removed in
September 2016.
Functions can be added through add-ons created by
third-party developers. Add-ons are primarily coded using an HTML and
JavaScript API known as Web Extensions, which is designed to be similar to the
Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge extension systems. Firefox previously
supported add-ons using the XUL and XPCOM APIs, which allowed them to directly
access and manipulate much of the browser's internal functionality. As they are
not compatible with its multi-process architecture, XUL add-ons are now deemed
Legacy add-ons and are no longer supported on Firefox 57 and newer.
Firefox can have themes added to it, which users can create
or download from third parties to change the appearance of the browser. The
Firefox add-on website also gives users the ability to add other applications
such as games, ad-blockers, screenshot apps, and many other apps.
