The browser claiming Internet Explorer's supremacy is developed by the open-source community and more precisely by the Mozilla Foundation. All the new versions of the browser have been published under this signature, but things will change once the Round Two company will devote all its attention to the optimizing of the browser and its extensions.

The company declares and promises users a consistent series of products and services associated to FireFox, which will make the Internet surfing experience a more pleasant and
customizable one.

The services will be launched in approximately a month; Round Two will first publish vital applications that will complete the browser. The founder of the company is Bart Decrem, ex member of the team within Mozilla Foundation that developed FireFox.

"There is an enormous space that can be exploited by offering various extensions and services dedicated to FireFox and the Mozilla application, and we want to start the first company outside the Mozilla nonprofit group that will attend to the Firefox user community", said Bart Decrem.

A great number of users believe that even in the "clean" formula provided by Mozilla, without extensions (plug-ins) or themes, FireFox is already a better solution than Internet Explorer. The impressive market quota of this open-source solution is related to the users' disappointment towards Internet Explorer functions and its security.

Round Two, previously known as MozSource, is currently in the finalizing stage of its own extensions, but has announced that it will sponsor and develop other existing solutions like FlashGot, Bandwidth Tester, SwitchProxy and also the site ExtensionsMirror.nl, which is an excellent source of tricks dedicated to FireFox and whose popularity is monthly increasing with 25%. The most daring plan of the company is to develop an antivirus solution dedicated to FireFox.
