Mozilla Firefox is a web browser descended from the Mozilla Application
Suite and managed by Mozilla Corporation. Firefox had 21.73% of the
recorded usage share of web browsers as of February 2009, making it the
second-most popular browser in current use worldwide, after Internet
Explorer.
To display web pages, Firefox uses the Gecko layout engine, which
implements some current web standards plus a few features which are
intended to anticipate likely additions to the standards.
Firefox includes tabbed browsing, a spell checker, incremental find, live
bookmarking, a download manager, and an integrated search system that
uses the user's desired search engine (Google by default in most
localizations). Functions can be added through add-ons created by thirdparty developers, the most popular of which include Tab Mix Plus
customizer, FoxyTunes media player control toolbar, Adblock Plus ad
blocking utility, StumbleUpon (website discovery), Foxmarks Bookmark
Synchronizer (bookmark synchronizer), WOT: Web of Trust security site
advisor, DownThemAll! download enhancer, and Web Developer toolbar.
