Firefox Download for Free 6 Reasons Why Mozilla Firefox Is Safe Compared to Internet Explorer firefox download for free 6 Reasons Why Mozilla Firefox Is Safe Compared To Internet Explorer. While statistics put Internet Explorer clearly ahead as the most widely used web browser, it's clear to many people that it is not due to the excellent programming. Subject to more than one official inquiry in Europe, and numerous columns, both online and in print, the practice of "˜bundling' the infamous browser with the every copy of the operating system represents the primary reason behind its crushing dominance. Alternative web browsers are aplenty and have a low barrier of entry even for less technically savvy computer users, but people are generally not keen to change their habits or spending time researching, downloading and installing another application - especially when the one that comes preloaded appears to be working just fine. 1. Firefox is not perfect software, but its vulnerabilities are fixed in a considerably shorter amount of time . Many new users are curious - is Mozilla Firefox safe? Updates are released immediately, not on a monthly schedule, and clock in at fewer than 10 MB. Users are notified automatically and prompted to install the update with a single click. The update process doesn't take more than a minute on a modern computer. 2. Since Firefox is open source , anyone can look at the source code, anyone can spot a problem and contribute a fix. Would you leave your car keys with a guy that says "trust me"​ or at a car lot with video surveillance and a logbook? 3. ActiveX applets, the way IE extends the functionality of the browser, are a known highway for malware and viruses . Firefox works with verified and signed add-ons. Even if you choose to install a malicious add-on - and the browser warns you - the damage is limited to the information in the browser whereas ActiveX exploits could be used to take over the whole computer. 4. Conscious users can install NoScript , an add-on that takes care of vulnerabilities that are not yet patched, either in Firefox or other plug-ins such as Java, JavaScript and Adobe's Flash. It achieves this goal by allowing the user to selectively enable interactive objects that the user decides to trust, automatically blocking the rest. 5. Security through obscurity; malicious programmers will always target the browser with the largest user base , especially if that user base is less tech savvy. 6. Firefox uses a service provided by Google that notifies the user before entering a potentially malicious web site . These websites ask for your financial data under false pretenses or contain malicious software often posing as something useful such as codecs or registry fixes. We check the radiator on the car when the temperature indicator turns red; by the time the computer starts acting up or not starting at all, and by all chances appearing to work just fine, your documents, passwords and financial data might already siphoned half a world away. Most people don't realize this, there are no clear warnings, but using Internet Explorer is in itself a security threat. I substantiate that statement by citing the Google Analytics on my blog - there are still people using old, un-patched and therefore vulnerable versions of Internet Explorer. The reasons behind this range from the hassle of dealing with Windows Update, millions of machines without a valid license which cannot access updates and users not realizing the importance of having up to date software. This is not news, yet there are people unaware of the danger posed. Washington Post's Brian Krebs reports on the Security Fix blog "Internet Explorer Unsafe for 284 Days in 2006"​. Even a fully patched and up-to-date version of IE 6 contains at least 22 discovered vulnerabilities; IE 7 stands at 9 and IE 8 at 2. By comparison, the latest version of Firefox (3.5.1), a free and open source browser, has zero un-patched vulnerabilities; the previous version (3.0.x) also stands at zero. As always, you're welcome to leave a comment below. Is Mozilla Firefox much more safe compared to IE? You might also want to check out some MakeUseOf posts on security, browsers in general.

Firefox Promises Increased User Privacy. After its most recent series of updates, Firefox is slowly regaining its position as one of the most popular web-browsers . The newest version of Firefox puts a premium on user privacy . For users who are hesitant to trust Google’s Chrome browser with their data, this is a huge advantage . How to Download Mozilla Firefox. Click on the DOWNLOAD button to visit the official Mozilla Firefox download page. Click the DOWNLOAD NOW button to download an official version of Firefox. The file will download, click on it and it will begin the installation process. If you had Firefox on your computer in the past, you’ll have the option to keep your old settings or go back to the default. If you want to restore your settings uncheck the box. Then click RE-INSTALL. When the installation is complete Firefox will open and ask if you want to make it your default browser. If you don’t want to change your default browser uncheck “Always perform this check when starting Firefox” and click NOT NOW. How to Uninstall Firefox. If you decide that Firefox isn’t for you, uninstall it in minutes by following these simple steps. Type Add or Remove Programs in the Windows search bar and open the System Setting. Find Mozilla Firefox and click uninstall . There should be two Mozilla programs listed, they will both be removed. Mozilla Firefox Overview. Firefox is an open-source, privacy-conscious, lightweight, fast browser . It has everything you want or need from a browser, such as bookmarks, tabbed pages, a URL and a search bar. There are a lot of customization options, add-ons, and a very active user forum where you can have any questions answered. Firefox Features. Fast and lightweight : The latest version of Firefox is faster than ever. Sync your browser : Create an account and sync your Firefox data across multiple platforms . If you’re logged in from both phone and computer, you can send tabs to open in the other device . Save passwords : Never remember a password or purchase a password manager again — Firefox can securely store all your passwords . More on this in the Security Feature section below. Pocket : This is a handy add-on that was created by Mozilla. You can easily save an article to read later . Pocket will add an estimated “time-to-read” to each article , and you can add tags , to help you remember why you saved the article when you have the time to read it. These are just a few of the features that you’ll find with Firefox. Security Features. Built-in pop-up blocker : Avoid annoying pop-ups and the need to download buggy or costly pop-up blockers. Blocks malicious websites : Firefox will prevent malicious websites from opening up and potentially harming your computer and security. It also gives you a warning when visiting an unsecured HTTP website. Monitor : Firefox will scan all data breaches, dating back to 2007 to see if your Email address has been part of a hack or breach . Monitor will then update you as to what data was exposed in the breach and give tips for how to proceed, and what to do to protect yourself in the future . Lockwise Password : Password managers can be very costly, but with Firefox you can get the Lockwise password manager for free . Download the mobile app and secure it with TouchID or FaceID protection. The passwords are protected with a 256-bit encryption to make sure that no one but you can access them. Frequent updates : Firefox is constantly updating its browser, quickly patching any security flaws or hacks that are discovered. User Privacy. Tracking Protection : When you see the shield icon on the address bar , you’ll know that Firefox is blocking trackers and other harmful content . You can click on it for more information or manage the protection settings. Doesn’t rely on Google’s Chromium : Firefox is the only cross-platform browser that doesn’t use the Google-powered open-source Chromium platform . Instead, it uses the open-source Mozilla platform called Gecko. Data collection policy : Mozilla states that they don’t collect user data unless you specifically sign up with the Firefox Pioneer tool that will give the company insights as to how users are browsing. They do collect a limited set of data, which is needed to improve tools and overall user experience , but even this data is not tied back to you in any way.

The privacy mode has been introduced to combat the privacy issues related with browsers. This feature keeps the browsing activities of a user private by not storing or removing the traces of artifacts related to the browsing session on the system. In this study, we test the effectiveness of this claim and to ensure ways in which a forensic investigation may be done in such cases. The private modes of different browsers have been tested in Windows and MAC OS by performing pre-defined browsing activities in each of the browsers in both the operating systems. Moreover, the default locations of normal web browser artifacts are also examined to find whether artifacts of private browsing activities are stored in such locations or not. Keywords: - Private Browsing, Windows, MAC, Safari, Microsoft Edge, Brave Browser ------------------------------------------------------ ***-------------------------------------------------- I INTRODUCTON artifacts related to it on the end device.
