The Firefox project (formerly Firebird, which was formerly Phoenix) is a redesign of Mozilla’s browser component, written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be cross-platform.
Firefox is a small, fast and very easy to use browser that offers many advantages over other web browsers, such as the ability to block pop-up windows and the tabbed browsing.
After the release of Firefox 4 beta 1, today Mozilla has rolled out Firefox 4 beta 2 web browser which is available in 23 different languages for all major operating systems like Windows, Mac and Linux.
