Beginner Marketers

I had never heard of Firefox before January 2009.  In fact, I didn’t even know there was a choice in browsers.  When I was having a problem downloading some flash files – someone suggested I download Firefox and see if they worked better.  They did.  Little did I know then that Firefox is THE browser of choice for internet professionals.  Here are 10 reasons why you need to make Firefox your default browser now.1.  Security If you haven’t noticed yet, most malicious malware and viruses are purposely intended for Internet Explorer.  Firefox can spare you the crashes and the constant security patches you need to download from Microsoft.

2.  Less Memory Firefox takes up less hard drive space than IE.  Explorer comes already pre-programmed with a lot of space wasting applications and junk.

3.  Faster Firefox downloads web pages much faster than IE.  Fact.

4.  Cleaner Interface Much less confusing and less cluttered than IE.  You’ll love it.

5.  More Features Firefox features the use of plug ins and add ons.  You can customize your home page with any type of look, theme and functionality you want.  The plug ins and add ons are for you to choose for your specific needs.  I even have a Squidoo tool bar that saves me a tremendous amount of time.  Anything you need or want can be found when you click on Tools “Add Ons” from the browser.

6.  Download Manager is a really cool feature.  Whenever you download or upload files a copy will be stored here – until you delete.  You can go back and retrieve it any time you want.  There have many times I couldn’t find a file (too many icons on my desktop) and I would go to the Download Manger and open it from there.

7.   View Page Info This feature is very helpful in Internet marketing.  When you right click on a page and then click View Page Info all sorts of great information about that page pops up including the keywords.

8.   Search Engine Firefox comes with an integrated search engine which is defaulted for Google, but you have many to choose from.

9.   Tabbed Browsing This is much faster and less confusing than opening all those windows.

10.  Superb Pop Up Blocker This blocker is definitely superior to IE and easily customizable.  Test it on a pop up blocker test page and see the results.

There you have it.  We are online for hours and hours each day and security and speed are a must.  FireFox  is extremely easy to use and FREE.  I promise that you will be glad you switched.   Download FireFox here
