The History
I have been using internet since 1993, When there is only text browser & text based email clients were available in Pakistan (mostly Dos based internet browsers).The operating system was Microsoft Windows ver 3., which has no functionality to run multiple programs at the same time. After a year or two there comes

Mosaic internet browser, it is the best of that time.

Evolution of Microsoft Windows 95 makes internet spread faster than earlier globally, it has been equipped with Microsoft Internet Explorer. There was new Netscape Navigator released it is the best of all, has faster website load time than Microsoft Internet Explorer. It was the famous and reliable of all Internet browsers.

With all the enhancements in computer technology, software's were also changed the dimensions of human's thoughts. Computer's hardware got better & better, and software's become available open license.
Mozilla 1.0 is the new addition in the Internet browser's in 2002, it was the open source code browser. It has been renamed by Mozilla Firefox and released in 2004. Firefox is cross-plat formed nature as its predecessor using the XUL user interface markup language. The use of XUL makes it possible to extend the browser's capabilities through the use of extensions and themes. The development and installation processes of these add-on's are easy. The use of XUL sets Firefox apart from other browsers, including other projects based on Mozilla's Gecko layout engine and most other browsers, which use interfaces native to their respective platforms (Galeon and Epiphany use GTK+; K-Meleon uses MFC; and Camino uses Cocoa). Many of these projects were started before Firefox, and probably served as inspiration.
Firefox 4.0 has many customizable user friendly features, which user could tweak for better browsing experience. Best browser in easy tab management while surfing the net.
