14 DAY TRIAL // The battle between Firefox and Internet Explorer is well known in the entire world because they represent the most popular internet browsers on the internet. As you probably know, Internet Explorer is an application developed by Microsoft and distributed in the Windows operating system, but also as a stand-alone software solution. Most Firefox users are sustaining that IE is a high vulnerable browser with a lot of security flaws and it's so popular because it is included in the most known application in the entire world. On the other side, IE users are attacking by sustaining Firefox is too complicated with a lot of extensions and themes that make the browser crash when the number of tabs is increasing.
The latest version of the Internet Explorer browser was often criticized because it includes tab navigation support, a feature that was first introduced by the Mozilla's application. Although the battle is more and more interesting, it seems like Firefox developers are now aiming to become more powerful by opening a new office in China. Although the company is based on a huge community of users and testers that are contributing to the developing process of the browser, Mozilla currently has 100 employees in the entire world and is now aiming to increase the number with a new office in Beijing.
"California-based Mozilla already has a presence in China via a not-for-profit Foundation supporting open-source software projects, but the Beijing office will be its first real corporate presence, Mozilla Chief Operating Officer John Lilly said. Mozilla's aim is to educate an organic open-source community in China who will adapt the technology to suit local tastes and become "Mozilla with Chinese characteristics," Lilly said," Reuters reported.
Because Internet Explorer is currently offered in the Windows operating system, Mozilla made several partnerships with two other giants, Google and Yahoo, that are now providing the browser bundled with several utilities. For example, the search giant Google allows you to download Mozilla Firefox with Google Toolbar, a tool that helps you block malicious websites, popup and enables you to browse the internet safer.
