Privacy

The Web browser has become one of the most critical and trusted relationships of our modern lives – with nearly perfect knowledge of everything we do. We take your privacy very seriously and that’s why Firefox has implemented a number of great features to keep your private data secure.

Performance

Page 26: Using firefox like a boss

Performance

We’re constantly optimizing Firefox to be great for the way you use the web – things like making new tabs open up more quickly, or having the Awesome Bar provide results even faster. In the end, it’s about getting you where you need to go as quickly and easily as possible.

More Features

Page 28: Using firefox like a boss

Features

Find the sites you love in seconds (and without having to remember clunky URLs).

Awesome Bar

Page 29: Using firefox like a boss

Features Stay in Sync

When you set up Firefox Sync on your computer , all of your data and preferences (such as your bookmarks, history, passwords, open tabs and installed add-ons) gets stored securely on the Mozilla servers. Then you can connect other devices (a mobile phone for example) and they will be automatically synchronized, giving you access to all of your information no matter where you are.

Page 30: Using firefox like a boss

FeaturesOffline Browsing

Take your computer offline and still have your information at your fingertips. Certain sites may allow applications—like your Web-based email—to stay with you at all times.

Page 31: Using firefox like a boss

FeaturesDo Not track Me

Most major websites track their visitors' behavior and then sell or provide that information to other companies (like advertisers). Firefox has a Do-not-track feature that lets you tell websites you don't want your browsing behavior tracked.

When you turn on the Do-not-track feature, Firefox tells every website you visit (as well as their advertisers and other content providers) that you don't want your browsing behavior tracked

Page 32: Using firefox like a boss

FeaturesSwitch To Tab

As you’re opening a new tab or typing in the Awesome Bar, Firefox will check to see if you already have that site open. If you do, you’ll be directed to the existing tab so you don’t open a duplicate.

Page 33: Using firefox like a boss

FeaturesTags

Label a site with names or categories that are meaningful to you. For example, you can label both www.bbc.co.uk and www.nytimes.com with the “news” tag. When you enter “news” into the location bar, both sites will be shown as results. A single site can have multiple tags, and there’s no limit to the number of tags you can create. You may not remember the exact name of a site, but with a tag, you’ll be able to find it easily.
