-built-in phishing protection
-online spell checking
-lots of themes, interfaces, and extensions/addons
Unofficial Support:
-Free BSD
-OS/2
-Solaris
-SkyOS
-BeOS
-XP Professional x64 Edition
Now here are some Tips&Tricks that can help you double the speed of Firefox.
2. In the filter search bar type network.http.pipelining. Be sure the value field is set
true,if not double-click to set true.
HTTP is the application-layer protocol that most web pages are transferred with. In
HTTP 1.1, multiple requests can be sent before any responses are received. This is known
as pipelining. Pipelining reduces page loading times, but not all servers support it.
3. Go back to the filter search bar and type network.http.pipelining.maxrequests.
Double-click this option and set its value to 8.
4. In the filter search bar and type network.http.proxy.pipelining. Once opened double-
click on it and set it to true.
5. In IPv6-capable DNS servers, an IPv4 address may be returned when an IPv6 address
is requested. It is possible for Mozilla to recover from this misinformation, but a
significant delay is introduced.
Type network.dns.disableIPv6 in the filter search bar and set this option to true by
double clicking on it.

7. Rather than wait until a page has completely downloaded to display it to the user,
Mozilla applications will regularly render what has been received to that point. This
option controls the maximum amount of time the application will be unresponsive while
rendering pages.

The low frequency interrupt mode interrupts the parser less frequently to allow for
quicker page load. The application enters high frequency interrupt mode when you move
the mouse or type on the keyboard and switch back to low frequency mode when you had
no activity for a certain amount of time. This preference controls that amount of time.
