Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source Open source is an approach to the design, development, and distribution of software, offering practical accessibility to a software's source code. Some consider open source as one of various possible design approaches, while others consider it a critical strategic element of their operations. Before open source became widely adopted, developers web browser A web browser is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web. An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier and may be a web page, image, video, or other piece of content.

Firefox had 22.98% of the recorded usage share of web browsers The usage share of web browsers is the percentage of visitors to a group of websites that use a particular web browser. For example, when it is said that Internet Explorer has 66% usage share, it means that some version of Internet Explorer is used by 66% of visitors that visit a given set of sites as of August 2009[update], making it the second most popular browser in terms of current use worldwide, after Microsoft's Internet Explorer Windows Internet Explorer , is a series of graphical web browsers developed by Microsoft and included as part of the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems starting in 1995.

A layout engine is typically used for web browsers, e-mail clients,, which implements most current web standards Web standards is a general term for the formal standards and other technical specifications that define and describe aspects of the World Wide Web. In recent years, the term has been more frequently associated with the trend of endorsing a set of standardized best practices for building web sites, and a philosophy of web design and development in addition to several features which are intended to anticipate likely additions to the standards.[6]
Latest Firefox features[7] include tabbed browsing Tabbed browsing refers to use of web browsers which allow multiple tabs to be opened within the window the browser is open in, each tab displaying a web-page.
