Firefox is the second most popular web browser in the world, it is an open source browser under developers environments who work day after day. Firefox comes from the laboratories of Mozilla Application Suite, currently has 500 million users, is based on the powerful Gecko search engine, which implements always updated web standards. Being free software, this engine can be modified at will, which makes it one of the favorite operating systems for hackers and application developers.

Its latest update came with the slogan " Rediscover the web " referring to the ability of version 6.0.2 to show its source code totally free to any user who wants it. This important browser works with Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and several other operating systems.
Firefox started as an experimental branch of the Mozilla project led by Dave Hyatt, Joe Hewitt, and Blake Ross. In their view, the commercial demands of Netscape's sponsorship and the large number of features of the Mozilla Application Suite compromised the usefulness of it. To combat what they called bloated Mozilla Application Suite, they created a separate browser with the intention of replacing it. On April 3, 2003, the Mozilla Organization announced that they will focus their efforts on Firefox and Thunderbird.
