Firefox Success Grows

Sunday 6 November 2005

Firefox is gaining a greater share of the browser market as more and more web users turn away from Internet Explorer in search of safer alternatives.

Although Internet Explorer still leads by some way, it is seeing that share fall as stories about security flaws harm the public's opinion of Microsoft's browser.

Firefox offers a safer browser with added features such as tabbed navigation. Firefox 1.07 is the latest proper release although 1.5 Release Candidate 1 of Firefox came out last week. This is a preview version of the next major Firefox release with new features including automated updates and faster navigation.
