  12. Advantages • spell checker • live bookmarking • incremental find (you don’t have to type the whole word in) • a search system including Google • More secure • It is quick, easy and free to use anywhere

  13. Firefox 3.6 beta • includes a component directory lockdown – to make it hard to meddle with the browser’s state. This will result in fewer crashes • improved security • "Creating binary components to interface with the operating system or with other applications is fairly straightforward, though ultimately dangerous. Binary components have full access to the application and OS, and so can impact stability, security, and performance," Vladimir Vukecevic, Mozilla programmer said. • Improved speed at loading pages • Includes Personas, the rescanning add-on that's now being built in.

  14. How do I install a newer version of Mozilla? First, uninstall Mozilla, as detailed for your operating system in the Mozilla 1.5 Release Notes, then install the new version. You should never install a new version of Mozilla over a previous one. If your plug-ins folder is inside the Mozilla application folder, you may wish to save it elsewhere beforehand so as to restore it after reinstalling. You can also keep your plug-ins folder in your profile. Go to Help | About Plug-ins to see the locations of the plug-ins Mozilla is currently using. Uninstalling Mozilla this way will leave your profile and your user preferences intact. You may lose access to some add-ins and have to reinstall them. If you have problems with a new installation of Mozilla, see the Troubleshooting Guide and the Getting Started Guide.

  15. Office work Mozilla would be a very useful application to have in a office because: • It is free • It offers good security • It is fast • It checks your spelling

  16. Appendix • Personas are ‘lightweight, easy-to-install and easy-to-change "skins" for your Firefox web browser.’ • Usenet – a way to discus worldwide • My ingots account number is 4808 • Coloured dots represent which groups are carried • Arrows between servers represent servers that share articles • Arrows between computers and servers indicate that the user is subscribed to a group

  17. Information on Mozilla from ‘Will’ on the Ingots site

  18. Corrections • The information on the previous slide has one mistake in it: • Mozilla Firefox was officially released on the 9th November 2004, before which it was known as Phoenix. • See History of Mozilla Firefox for more details
