FireFox

Firefox sports features such as one-click bookmarking, the Smart Location Bar that lets you go back to websites you used before that you have forgotten the exact URL to, pop-up blockers, password manager, parental control, and anti-phishing facilities. It also shows video and audio use in an innovative manner. It supports audio and video to HTML 5 as well as the open video format under Ogg Theora. This gives you a media experience that is richer and has fewer kinks with plug-ins breaking down or interfering.  You’re even allowed to save videos directly to the desktop.

Mozilla ranks 3.5/4 in this respect with a wide range of tutorials, FAQs and user support available round the clock right at the user’s fingertips. Live chats and ease of comprehension for users gives it extra brownie points.
