Long time ago, at dawn of Internet era, when everyone started to realise the significance of massive networking that was easily sneaking into our offices and houses, many of use didn't really care about how to get a piece of virtual cake. The most important thing was to actually get on the Internet, explore it, develop it, use it and abuse it in some instances.

There was only one standard called Internet Explorer developed by mighty Microsoft and one competitor Netscape Browser which didn't have strength neither aspiration to take over the Web over Redmond giant's offspring IE.
However, time changed and people who use Internet changed as well, and many started to pay attention on how do they reach Web world.

In last few years, we are privileged to use many more browsing software products and one of them is Mozzila's Firefox which came up available recently in it version.

I have been using Firefox for almost 3 years now and never ever had any complaint. Unfortunately I can't say the same for Internet Explorer, however this review is not comparison between two products.

Main subject is Mozilla and their new baby Firefox 2.0.

If you have been a user of Internet browser Firefox 1.5.x, at first glance of version 2.0 you would not find any major difference that might stand out as innovation, what was to be expected anyway. Firefox 2.0 looks like 1.5 with some extra features, but if you expect some major innovative change then you'll might need to wait until version 3.0. is out.

However, don't judge by first appearance. When you start to use new Firefox 2.0. you'll notice some differences comparing to older version. The main interface is slightly different (sort of Apple Mac-ish, but that is a global trend anyway) and icons are bit different as well. Every new tab you open indside your browser has its own "close" cross, which is cool feature (anyone remember the days when we had to open separate session each time when wanted to see more than one page?). Again some like to say that this has been taken from Apple's Safari browser but I don't personally care as long as it fulfils its purpose.

However, with version 2.0. you can open as many tags as you want, even if you open too many they will not merge into single row at the top, they will keep reasonable dimensions and might pop out of your main browser screen as new tag and never as new window.

For those who prefer to have new window for every new web page, this option is still there.If you ever close your tab by mistake
