Mozilla Firefox is now five years old

article published on 10 November, 2009

The popular open source browser Firefox celebrated its fifth birthday today, in version 3.5 and with over 24 percent market share, its largest tally ever. Mozilla's Melissa Shapiro adds: Firefox started "with belief that, as the most significant social and technological development of our time, the Internet is a public resource that must remain open and accessible to all."

Chrome is now my browser of choice but I still use Firefox daily for some things. I hardly ever use Internet explorer anymore.

firefox also forced opera to ship their browser free.. thanks for that! It is my favorite browser, unfortunately firefox started to copy opera which i didnt like so much because i installed firefox to my parents computer because it didnt have tabs and complexity of opera. This doesn´t mean opera is hard to use (you just have to know how browser works), for example you might be embarrassed if you dont close opera tabs and when you next time open opera you see all of your porn sites you had open when closing opera =) or your computer gets really slow if you have hundreds of tabs open and don´t close them.

I'm surprise this isn't the dominant browser. It's a rock solid product. If more people would use it, there would be less people posting on the virus/malware section. It gets better all the time.

If you hate the slow loading time of FF 3.5, I suggest FF Preloader. Tested working on XP Pro. It makes it load very quickly. Saved me from scrapping it altogether.

I feel the same way Fire Fox sucks now! Too bad it started out good. IE8 sucks also so if you use IE it is best to stay with IE7. I guess I'll stay with Avant borwser it's not perfect but works pretty good.

Will there be a ten year celebration? :~)

I've been using Firefox ever since it came out. I've never gone back to IE. I tried Opera for a while but it did nothing for me. Some of these comments have been harsh. I LOVE Firefox! It keeps getting better and better. I've been redirecting to attack sites before and Firefox warns me to get the heck out of Dodge! I have fiber optic broadband, 8 gigs of ram, and a quad core processor. It only takes seconds for Firefox to load for me and I never get bogged down by too many tabs open. Absolutely love it and I hope they keep up the good work.

I that a joke? Of course FF runs fast on your system.
