How to Download Firefox 3.5 on Dial-Up

Dial-up users can browse the Internet with Firefox.

Firefox is an open-source Web browser available for free from the Mozilla Corporation. As of this publication, Firefox comprises over 30 percent of the global market share, according to the World Wide Web Consortium. Version 3.5 of the browser offers minor support for HTML5 and advanced CSS3. Its JavaScript engine was also improved from previous versions to increase speed. However, there are now newer versions of Firefox. Only version 3.6 and later is available on the official Mozilla site. Downloading from other alternate sources is not recommended.

Instructions

1. Open your Web browser and navigate to the Mozila website. (See References.)

2. Select your language of choice and current operating system using the grid. Click "Download" on the appropriate link and "Save File" to save the package to your hard drive.

3. Open your "Downloads" folder to access the file. A 56k dial-up modem will download the average 8Mb file size in less than 20 minutes.

Tips & Warnings

• Close other programs using Internet access to increase your download speed.

• Do not download unsupported or unverified versions of Mozilla software from third-party vendors.
