!!!!!!!!!!I AM FIREFOX STUDENT AMBASSADOR!!!!!!!!!
Firefox, one of the largest used browsers by webmasters and normal users worldwide, is the favorite browsers for most of the internet users due to a lot of reasons, the reason might vary depending on the user, as it has some advantages for normal users and some other for webmasters. I love using Mozilla firefox, and rarely use other, except for testing the design adjustments of any website that i work on.
Who We Are?????
Firefox Student Ambassadors are individuals who are passionate
about Mozilla and raise awareness about the many benefits of Firefox and
other Mozilla products - especially FirefoxOS!!
Creative and resourceful, Student Ambassadors lead
campaigns and projects at their colleges and in their communities to encourage
others to contribute to
Mozilla (and utilize our products). Together, Firefox Student Ambassadors play
a large role in helping to improve the global experience of people on the Web.
As part of the overall MozillaReps program (ReMo), Student
Ambassadors are given the opportunity to learn new skills, earn recognition,
and advance their leadership in the Mozilla community.
What We Do????
The Firefox Student Ambassadors program exists to empower
students with the tools and resources needed to:
- Promote Firefox (Desktop and Android)
- Support
the successful launch of Firefox OS in communities (and campuses!) around the world
- Educate others about Mozilla's Mission
- Grow the Mozilla Community
Currently, there is a need for Student Ambassadors to join the Mobilizer
program to show others how awesome Firefox OS is on their campus! If you are
interested in promoting Firefox OS at your school (or learning more!), please
join us HERE!!.
Why i love using Firefox over Other browsers
are the following -
1. Themes - There
are 2 default and various other themes available for firefox, making it look
better always with our choice of colors and design. Other browsers shows just
the standard theme that actually is a lot boring one.
2. Bookmark window options - When
i bookmark a website, the bookmark window shows some small information about
the website that is bookmarked in Firefox, and also there is a keyword search
option within the bookmarks when we have a huge list of websites bookmarked, making our search for
bookmark easier. Other browsers probably doesn’t know what Bookmark is? There
is a favorites option that has no special features in it.
3. Volume of deletion of
cookies - Both the browsers Other browsers
and firefox have the option of deletion of cookies, but the biggest difference
in the volume of deletion. Former has the option of deletion of all the cookies
together, thus we are left with no choice of retaining some of them, but the
latter has a good option of deleting the cookies individually and thus we can
save the one’s that we need, and delete which we want to.
4. Features of downloading - There
is a download manager with Firefox, which lets us know how much download is on
progress and how much is left. And it always downloads files at a specific
location without always asking the user for the download location. And main good factor is that
an ongoing download can be paused
in firefox. But in Other browsers, we always have to select for
a locationfor download, and download cannot be paused if
once started.
5. Script running errors - While
opening a big flash or large script running site, firefox asks for conformation
whether the script can be continued to run or should it be stopped. On the other hand,
other browsers just crashes and shuts down if the script can’t be handled and
run by it.
6. Managing your passwords - Dedicated password manager for saving, editing and deleting
passwords for your website logins are available in firefox, but the same can
not be done in other browsers, as no special password saving systems are there
in it.
7. Usage of multiple versions
of browser - This is for
the webmasters especially who are alwaysbuilding websites etc. As the whole world does not use the
same version of browser at once, so the websites gave to be tested in various
versions of the same browser. Having more than 1 browser version in firefox
used together is available in firefox but if we are using other browsers,
only one version can be used at once. Not that useful for webmasters.
8. Image format support for
favicons - Favicons in other
browsers can not be of any image format, and can not be animated too. IE
supports just BMP and ICO formats of images for favicons, but firefox supports
almost 7-8 types of formats of images including GIF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, ICO and
others.Animated images are also supported by firefox to use as
favicons.
9. Opening multiple bookmarks
at once - Many
bookmarks can be opened at once in different tabs in firefox, but this is not
at all available in other browsers as it doesn’t have any good option of
bookmarking at least.
