關於 Mozilla

Mozilla是一個跨越全球的社群，集合眾人的才智，全心確保全球資訊網繼續作為開放、共享、世界性的資源。我們受到熱情的驅使以及社會責任感的導引，正致力於打造一個對不論是今日或未來的人類全體都更好的全球資訊網。我們全機構完全只專注在全球資訊網使用者的需求上，而非投資人或其他團體的需要。

Mozilla開發免費且開放原始碼的技術與產品，包括廣受好評、連得大獎的Mozilla Firefox®網頁瀏覽器。全世界超過四十幾種語言的數千萬人們對Firefox愛不釋手；它讓您最能夠徹底享受網路體驗，讓瀏覽器能夠更安全、更快速，並按您的需要量身訂作。

Mozilla Firefox® 2 介紹

備受肯定的 Firefox 網路瀏覽器帶著更棒的功能回來了。

Firefox 2 參考全球數百萬使用者的建言，加上強大功能讓瀏覽體驗再度昇級。更安全、更快、更加享受（？），同時也提供更多種方式供您自訂功能及調整介面，打造符合個人需求的瀏覽器。

Firefox 同步支援 Windows、Mac OS X 及 Linux，也提供多達四十種以上的語言版本，為眾瀏覽器軟體之冠。

Firefox 2 新鮮事

Firefox 2 provides users with a familiar Web browser interface, while improving and extending the power of the original Firefox’s wildly popular and innovative features. We’ve also listened to users and added some new features that will help you get the most out of today’s interactive and fast-moving Web.

Here’s a list of what’s new and improved in Firefox 2:

防「釣魚」

防「釣魚」機制將Firefox的安全性帶上全新的等級，幫助保全您的金融資訊，並保護您不被竊取身分資料的賊人攻擊。該功能會在您碰到可疑的假網站（也就是所謂的「釣魚網站」）時警告您，並且自動帶您直接瀏覽搜尋頁面，以便您能找到所要的真正網站。

防「釣魚」機制預設是開啟的，運作的方式則是將您造訪的網站和一份存在本機的已知釣魚網站名單進行比對（該名單每三十分鐘會更新一次）。您也可以選擇啟用「用線上服務商來檢查造訪的網站」的模式，以確認您所看的網頁是正確有效的。Google是預先設定的線上服務商，而其他廠商也將很快提供。

即時拼字檢查

這下不再打錯字了！Firefox 2 內建即時拼字檢查，讓您在留言板、Web 郵件中輸入文字後可立即知曉拼字正確與否，不需額外軟體。

即時標題

即時標題是網頁中定期更新之關鍵資訊的摘要。隨時更新、比起固定的網頁標題更能提供有用資訊，恰好適合做為書籤的標題。舉例而言，拍賣網站的即時標題可以是使用者關注的某項產品名稱、目前出價及所剩時間，財經網站的即時標題可以是股價資訊、目前匯率等等。目前已經支援的網站有 eBay、Yahoo! Finance、BBC、UPS 以及 FedEx 等。

Managing Web Feeds (RSS)

Firefox 2 gives you full control over Web feeds, offering you a preview of the content and several subscription options. You have the choice of using an online Web service for reading feeds, a client-side feed reader, or creating a Firefox Live Bookmark. Firefox 2 is configured to use popular Web feed reading services that vary by locale (such as My Yahoo!, Bloglines and Google Reader in the US) and users can always add their own. Firefox 2 supports RSS and Atom-based feeds.

Session Restore

No more lost data or browsing sessions. If Firefox unexpectedly closes, Session Restore will bring back the windows and tabs you were using previously, restoring the text you typed into forms and the in-progress downloads you had running the next time you start up Firefox. Additionally, a new “restart” button allows you to restart the browser without losing your place after you install an add-on or a software update. There’s even an option to always restore previous sessions – Options -> Main: “When Firefox starts: Show my windows and tabs from last time.”

搜尋引擎管理員

您現在可以快速添加、移除搜尋欄中的搜尋引擎，也可以輕鬆排列其顯示順序。Firefox 同時也能偵測網站中可安裝的搜尋引擎，如有斬獲，引擎選取鈕便會發亮提醒您。這些都讓您更容易調整搜尋欄，符合個人需求。

附加元件管理員

新的附加元件管理員加強擴充套件及佈景主題的管理介面，讓您更能輕鬆自訂 Firefox。您可於「工具＞附加元件」開啟附加元件管理員。（本文稍後還有更多附加元件的相關資訊。）

Improved Tabbed Browsing

Firefox has improved its popular tabbed browsing feature, making it easier to discover and use. Links that would open new browser windows now open in tabs by default, and each tab now includes an individual close button. When too many tabs are open to fit across the top of a single window, scroll arrows appear on either side, and a drop down button on the right side of the window shows you the list of open tabs. If you accidentally close a tab, you can re-open it by selecting “Recently Closed Tabs” from the “History” menu or by pressing Ctrl+Shift+T (Cmd+Shift+T on Macs).

搜尋建議

當您於內建的搜尋欄中逐字輸入關鍵字時，Firefox 將顯示一份建議的關鍵字列表。目前內建的 Google、Yahoo! 奇摩及 Answers.com 都支援此功能，以 Firefox 搜尋資料將更快更準確。

Streamlined Interface

The user interface in Firefox 2 has been updated to improve usability without altering the familiarity of the browsing experience. Toolbar buttons now glow when you hover over them, and default icons have been de-saturated to focus the user’s eye on content in the browser window.

Firefox 與資訊安全

Firefox improves your ability to securely navigate the Web. It includes award-winning features for foiling spyware, Web forgery or phishing sites and pop-up ads, and puts you in total control of your personal and confidential information. Firefox is also built using a transparent development method, where everyone is encouraged to examine and contribute code, which discovers more potential threats and vulnerabilities, and enables Mozilla to rapidly identify and fix any emerging issues.

With Firefox, we strive to:

• provide the fastest response time to vulnerabilities in the industry;
• adhere to a transparent process;
• make architectural changes that add to security, not just complexity;
• quickly fix security bugs instead of debating them.

Open Source, More Secure

At the heart of Firefox is an open source development process driven by thousands of passionate, experienced developers and security experts spread all over the world. Our openness and active community of experts helps to ensure our products are more secure and updated quickly, while also enabling us to take advantage of the best third-party security scanning and evaluation tools to further bolster overall security.

How We Measure Security – Days of Risk

Currently, most of the security industry focuses on the number of vulnerabilities as a measure of just how secure a browser is – the product with the least vulnerabilities is declared more secure. However, it’s more complex than this as vendors report vulnerabilities differently and software by nature is never completely secure. Therefore, a more accurate metric is how long it takes the vendor to fix a vulnerability once it is identified. That’s the measure of how long the user is at risk. With the help of our dedicated community, we’re able to respond quickly to potential vulnerabilities and minimize this window of exposure.

附加元件

There is a rich and growing ecosystem of add-ons for Firefox that enable you to personalize your browser’s features and appearance to fit your needs and style. With Firefox 2, we’re making it easier than ever to discover, install and use add-ons to customize Firefox with a new Add-on Manager.

You can choose from a variety of add-ons at https://addons.mozilla.com. A Firefox add-on can help you comparison shop, share bookmarks with your friends, see the weather in a corner of your browser, write to your weblog, get news, listen to music – all from inside the browser you already love. You can even change the appearance of your browser – from buttons to colors and fonts – so that it matches your own personal style.

新技術內涵

為了提供使用者最棒的網際瀏覽體驗，Firefox 2 還提供其他更新更豐富的技術內涵。以下列舉 Firefox 2 的技術更新：

支援 JavaScript 1.7

JavaScript 更新為 1.7 版，提供諸如 particular generators, iterators, array comprehensions, let expressions, and destructuring assignment 等新功能，同時也包含 JavaScript 1.6 的所有特色。

新搜尋模組格式

Firefox 的搜尋欄現在同時支援 Sherlock 及 OpenSearch 格式，也能讓各引擎提供搜尋字詞建議。

更新擴充套件系統

為了提升安全性、方便擴充套件本地化事宜，Firefox 2 也更新了擴充套件系統。Mozilla 亦可為使用者把關，將已知有安全問題或個人隱私疑慮的套件停用。

Support for Client-Side Session and Persistent Storage

Firefox 2 introduces support for storing structured data on the client side by implementing WhatWG’s DOMStorage specification. This technology will allow Web developers to create even richer interactive Web sites for users.

新版 Windows 安裝程式

新安裝程式基於 Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) 製作，安裝更為迅速。

Firefox 重要特色

In addition to all the new enhancements, Firefox is filled with powerful existing features. From security and privacy controls to Automated Updates, Live Bookmarks, the Download Manager and Tabbed Browsing, Firefox offers the choice and speed to make surfing the Web a better experience.

Automated Update

The update system notifies you when a security update or product upgrade is available. After you receive the update notification, you are given the option of installing the update now or at a later time. You also have the ability to pause and resume the download. The size of security updates will usually be between 200KB to 700KB, giving you only what you need and making the security update quick to download and install.

The automated update system provides updates for Firefox on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux in over 40 different languages.

The update system is also configurable for companies wishing to deploy updates to Firefox with their own solutions.

Clear Private Data

Firefox offers the ability to clear all private data with just one click. You can be confident that when you clear your private data in Firefox it’s gone – whether you are using your own computer or one at the library. You can ‘Clear Private Data’ with just one click or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Delete (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+Delete (Mac).

Protection from Spyware

Firefox will not allow a Web site to download, install, or execute code on your computer without your explicit agreement. You will be notified via the information bar whenever downloading or installing software.

Secure Internet Connection

Firefox supports modern data encryption technology to keep your communication with Web sites secure, with support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0.

When your connection to a Web site is encrypted, the Web site URL is highlighted with a yellow background and a lock icon appears in the Location bar. Clicking on the lock icon in the Location bar will display more detailed security information.

In addition to the new Phishing Protection, the bottom right of each window of a secured site will always display the domain name (e.g., login.fidelity.com). If a hacker attempts to trick you via the URL in the Location bar, you can always see the actual domain name of the Web site that you are visiting.

Searching Faster with Firefox

Going to the Web site you intended can’t get any faster. In the Location bar, type in “Williams Sonoma” or “Yahoo Mail” and hit enter. Using Google’s “Browse By Name” search, integrated directly into the Location bar, you are taken to the site you were looking for instantly.

Find in Page

Once you have found the page you are looking for, you can easily find what you need on that page. Access the Find toolbar by pressing Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac). Start typing the word or phrase you’re looking for and you can quickly navigate all instances of that word or phrase, and even highlight all occurrences. Firefox will find text in form fields as well as within the Web page content.

Pop-up Blocker

Firefox blocks more pop-ups, including those originating from browser plug-ins. Firefox’s pop-up blocker notifies you when pop-ups are blocked via the information bar or icon on the lower right of the screen. It gives you the option to view the blocked pop-ups. It also gives you the option to add sites that use pop-ups in a valid way to an allow list. You no longer have to spend any time with these unwanted distractions closing pop-up or pop-under windows.

Live Bookmarks

Live Bookmarks let you view RSS news and blog headlines in the bookmarks toolbar or menu. With one glance, quickly review the latest headlines from your favorite sites. Go directly to the articles that interest you.

Download Manager

Firefox’s Download Manager shows the status of current downloads and also displays a list of prior ones. You can pause and resume downloads, and see the exact location on your computer where you downloaded a file. Finally, you can open files directly from the Download Manager.

匯入精靈

Firefox 可以從其他已安裝的瀏覽器中匯入設定。當你第一次啟動 Firefox 時，「匯入精靈」會自動出現，你也可以從「檔案」->「匯入」手動啟動它。「匯入精靈」能匯入我的最愛、偏好設定、Cookies、已存密碼和其他個人資訊，所以你根本不必擔心換個瀏覽器就要重頭開始。

關鍵字

「關鍵字」功能讓你更輕鬆找到字詞定義、股市指數等想要的資訊。任何搜尋引擎都能建立關鍵字，例如愛書人可以在 Amazon 的搜尋欄中按右鍵，然後選「將此次搜尋設為可用關鍵字搜尋」後再想一個關鍵字，如：「amzn」。完成後要在 Amazon 找書變得輕而易舉，只要在網址列中輸入「amzn <書名>」就行了。

親和力介面

Firefox 承諾帶給每個人更佳的網路體驗–包含視障使用者在內。Firefox 創先支援 DHTML 無障礙技術，網頁開發者藉此技術能減少行動不便的使用者閱讀網頁時所需的按鍵次數。

Firefox 也支援 Microsoft Active Accessibility 技術，這是 Windows 上 Microsoft 與親和力有關的 API 標準。如此一來支援此標準的螢幕閱讀程式如 GW Micro 的 Window-Eyes 程式及 Freedom Scientific 的 JAWS 程式就能用在 Firefox 上。「螢幕閱讀程式」是一種能念出程式或文件中所有有用的訊息並顯示在「點字閱讀器」上的軟體。
