Firefox Browser System Requirements

From the Firefox site, you can find out exactly what you need system-wise in order to install Firefox. I'll list the Windows requirements here, but other systems are available on the Firefox site itself.

Windows Operating Systems

  • Windows 98, 98SE, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP (this is the recommended system), or Windows Server 2003

Minimum Hardware Required

  • Pentium 233 MHz, but a Pentium 500 MHZ or greater is recommended.
  • 64 MB Ram, but 128 MB Ram or greater is recommended.
  • 52 MB hard drive space.

Okay, boring technical stuff is over. Now we get to the good stuff. Installing Firefox is extremely easy, in fact, it will probably take less than a couple of minutes to get the whole thing done and running on a high-speed connection. So, with no further ado, let's get to the installation.
