How to Install Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox is one of the best browsers out there on the market, and it's free. Through the unique development methods of Open Source, they are able to make a product with impressive speed and less bugs than programs developed by traditional methods. Mozilla Firefox has a number of unique features, and it is overall a good product. Throughout this series I will try to present Mozilla Firefox for you.

Installation and configuration

Obviously, the first thing you need to do is get your free copy of the Mozilla Firefox browser. You can locate the Firefox installer on the Mozilla download page. If you go to this page, http://mozilla.org/products/firefox/, you will always find the newest version available. Now, I recommend you read on the page which version you should download, as Mozilla Firefox develops at a high pace, it's not always the good thing to get the latest version, as it is with most programs. :) I will use the Windows version and the series will mainly evolve around Windows issues. Download the file and you are ready to begin.
