Top 10 Reasons to use Firefox

Haha Firefox

Written by Richard MacManus

Mozilla has published a wiki page detailing its plans for the next version of Firefox, codenamed “Gran Paradiso”. The target release date is sometime in the third quarter this year and it hopes to release a major version of Firefox every year. While Firefox is still aiming for a broad mainstream audience, Mozilla recognizes that its strengths for normal users are its extensions and customization. It notes on the wiki that “Microsoft will continue to establish deeper ties from IE7/Vista to live.com & MSN” and even that other “web service providers” may introduce their own browsers (Yahoo? Amazon?). So Firefox is aiming to be the best general Web browser - e.g. it wants to be faster for AJAX apps.

Among the mandatory requirements listed for FF3 are improving the add-on experience, providing “an extensible bookmarks back-end platform”, adding more support for web services “to act as content handlers” - all of which show that Firefox wants to be an independent information broker rather than a simple HTML renderer in its next version. Microformats will be a key part of this too - and this is currently listed as a “highly desirable” feature for FF3. Also good to see extensible identity management listed there. All of this encourages best-of-breed apps to flourish, which is an excellent direction for Mozilla to take with Firefox. It probably also plays into Google’s hands, as they have a number of best of breed web apps - and are acquiring them at a great rate too (YouTube, JotSpot, Writely, etc).

Also in the works is Microsoft’s IE8. According to ActiveWin.com , a Microsoft official at CES told them that work has already begun for IE 8 and it may be released as a final product “within 18-24 months”. IE8 will apparently “compete even more directly with Firefox”. Looking ahead, it’s obvious that IE will continue to hook into the advanced functionality that Vista offers.

So if anything, I’d hazard a guess and say that IE8 will head back into ProprietaryLand - leaving Firefox to become more of a vehicle for independent web services, particularly those from Google. While IE7 and Firefox 2 were more alike than different (feature-wise they’re practically identical!), with IE8 and FF3 we will likely see the two biggest browsers head off into different directions.

Welcome to my first posting on comScore Voices. Here, I’ll take the opportunity to discuss topics and provide information that I hope will be relevant – and valuable – to anyone who is keenly interested in the continued development of the Internet as a powerful platform for consumers and marketers alike. I’ll also share some of the more important lessons I’ve learned over the course of my career, which includes more than a decade as the CEO of a large public market research company. I’ll leave it to my fellow bloggers from the senior ranks of comScore to outline the objectives they have set for their own postings.

As I was thinking about my first post, a comScore study came to mind that I thought would be of particular interest to the blogosphere. In this study, we examined the differences between those people who use Mozilla’s Firefox as their primary browser versus those who use Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Firefox, the upstart in the browser wars, has carved out a meaningful market share against IE.

Our study proves what many might have suspected: Firefox users are demographically different in several important ways. For example, Firefox users are slightly more likely to be male (55 percent) than InternetExplorer users (50 percent).

In addition, compared to IE users, Firefox users more likely to have
annual household incomes of at least $75,000.

Firefox users are significantly younger: They are 69 percent more
likely than IE users to be between the ages of 18-24.

In summary, Firefox users are younger than the average Internet user, are 26 percent more likely to have incomes above $75,000, and also have a higher likelihood of being male. Interestingly, they are 13 percent more likely to have broadband connections. This leads us to the second part of this topic, which I will post soon, which will address how Firefox users
are early-adopters of Web 2.0 technologies. I will also describe Firefox users based on their ‘cognographic’ profile, which is comScore’s proprietary measure of users’ interests, passions and lifestyles.

Firefox has become a must to have browser for almost internet users. Although it become tough concurrence from IE,Opera and newly lunched Flock, Firefox remains on the top for the last few months in many survey. Firefox extension is one of the strenght that the community own. This extension help a lot of internet surfers simplifying their task to download video, to use IE based tab, to pick color, to measure a table etc etc.

Therefore I would like to recommend 5 vital extensions to those who busy designing and creating new web templates.

1. ColorZilla
   Collection of tool that help you to pickup color. Also provide the Eyedropper tool so that you can determine your desire color on the web.
2. Measureit
   Help you to measure something on the web. Width of table, width of paragraph etc etc. For example if you want to make a image for your header, you can measure directly the width of header by using the tool.
3. IE Tab
   Its vital to make sure your CSS work on Internet Explorer. Using this tool, you can view your webdesign in an IE tab in the Firefox itself
4. Fasterfox
   Fasterfox allows you to tweak many network and rendering settings such as simultaneous connections, pipelining, cache, DNS cache, and initial paint delay.
