The biggest struggle for Mozilla Firefox is to compete with other browsers like Internet Explorer 9 or Google Chrome.

Mozilla Firefox seems to be more stable and the supporting multiplatform is a big plus. Even though the Internet Explorer said to be more rapid than Mozilla Firefox, the users said that there is no difference on this chapter. The browser was developed for the first time by the Mozilla Foundation.
They wanted to make a very configurable browser and indeed the independent developers have added a large wide of extensions. The project started in 2002 and at the beginning was just the desire to make an open source browser that is quicker and user friendly and very extendable.
Firefox became Mozilla’s main attention.  The first version was launched in November 2004 and became in a short while one of the most popular open source applications. In time, the project was modified several times in order to assure the users a high stability and security options. This is why the company urges to have more versions in a very short period in order to have a permanent update of their product.
