  • PC World 》The magazine also listed Firefox in the "Best 100 Products in 2005". In 2006, when Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 7 were launched, PC World also commented on these two browsers and believed that Firefox was a better browser.
  • Which magazine also nominated Firefox as the best web browser.
  • The UK Vnunet website even listed the rising market share of Firefox as one of the top 10 inspiring IT events.
  • The media "Internet Week" mentioned in an article that many readers use a high amount of memory when using Firefox 1.5. The Mozilla development team said that the increase in storage usage of Firefox 1.5 is due to the new "FastBack" function. In addition, wrong extensions, such as some old Adblocks or some plug-ins, are also responsible for the increase in memory usage. PC Magazine compares Firefox, Opera Internet Explorer The memory usage of these three browsers is close to that of the other two browsers. In addition, the tests of PC World and Zimbra also indicate that the storage usage of Firefox 2 is less than that of Internet Explorer 7, and that the storage usage of Firefox 3 (tested in beta 1) is no less than that of Firefox 2, but still less than that of Internet Explorer 7.
  • according to CERT According to statistics, Firefox has fewer security vulnerabilities than Internet Explorer.
  • Softpedia 》The test shows that Firefox requires a longer startup time than other browsers, and IE6 also has a slightly faster startup speed than Firefox, but this is because some of the program components used by IE are loaded after Windows starts, so it will have a faster startup time.
  • Some critics strongly disagree: an analysis article published in PC World magazine said that Firefox is losing the favor of computer experts in the competition with Chrome browser. Although Mozilla Foundation is still committed to some ambitious goals, Firefox has declared its death. In fact, Chrome and Firefox are no match for each other. Google reached an agreement with Firefox at the end of December 2011, and Google will continue to be the default search engine of Firefox in the next three years.
