Mozilla Firefox® is a
free, open source, cross-platform, graphical web browser developed
by the Mozilla Corporation and hundreds of volunteers. Beginning
as a fork of the Navigator component of the Mozilla Application Suite,
Mozilla Firefox® has since become the foundation's main development
focus (along with the Thunderbird mail and news client), replacing
the Mozilla Suite as the foundation's official main software release.
Mozilla Firefox® has attracted attention as an alternative to other browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer and Apple Safari, which are included as standard browsers with versions of Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X respectively. This is the main stumbling block for competing browsers as many novice users are still unaware of alternatives.
