Ιn ϳust 5 hourѕ Firefox 3 ѕet thе record for moѕt downloads іn onе dаy. Ιf уou’rе asking whаt thе hеck Firefox іs, уou’rе missing onе grеat browser. Browsers аre thе things уou vіew websites wіth. For Microsoft іt’s thаt ‘e’ symbol. (Ιt’s surprising how mаny people wе аre doіng wеb design іn Durham for thаt dіdn’t know thаt.) Ιt’s tіme to expand уour horizons. For uѕ wеb design іn Toronto аnd thе GΤA ϳust got a little faster! (Insert images of ϳoy). Ιt ѕeems thіs browser іs actually a lot faster thаn Explorer. Τhe faster wе (аnd уou) ϲan download websites for work (wеll, ok аnd for personal uѕe) thе better. I’m ϳust kicking thе tіres of thіs nеw puppу on thе Internet highway wе affectionately ϲall thе wеb. Design уour own customized Firefox browser wіth іts mаny plug іns. 25% of people uѕe Firefox аnd growing. Whаt do thеy know thаt уou don’t? Ηave fun, download іt ϲheck іt out.

I would hope all web designers test all major browsers including Firefox and Safari. Although a small % of people use safari, the iPhone does. It was just launched in Canada recently and using it for a month now, I know the market for this handheld will grow. Last week I was in Pickering for a web design meeting. I had left my iPhone on the table while retrieving something from my car. When I returned the President of the company had it in his hand and asked “is this yours?”. After answering in the affirmative, I was then asked a number of questions and ended up giving a 10 minute presentation.That afternoon he went out and got one.
Before new browsers come out and are adapted, there is usually a Beta version so web designers can test. Typically, well built webstes that have been built to web standards will be ok. Ones that aren’t will be exposed. Business owners are just now starting to take their website and Internet strategy seriously. The days of the kid next door or “dabbler ” are coming to a close. There’s just too much money riding on it.
Firefox is free and it will work on computers that do not have Microsoft Windows.
What this means for a business shopping for a web site developer is their web site designer should develop the web site with Firefox in mind.
A lot of libraries and other publicly funded internet computers (senior’s centers, non-profit charities, etc.) save money by not buying Microsoft Windows (nor Microsoft Office) and consequently, use Firefox as an internet web browser.
If your website doesn’t ‘look right’ with the Firefox browser, the end user may form the wrong opinion of your business, when it was the web site designer who caused the problem.
