A fuse box is a box that holds fuses that once blown, they have to be replaced. A circuit breaker will reset itself after it has cooled down. +++ NO: that is a thermal-overload protector.
A circuit breaker is not normally auto-reclosing (except for certain types in power-stations). It has to be re-set manually, so fails safely: it stays off until you have traced and corrected the fault,or disconnected the guilty appliance, that caused it to release.
A fuse is just a thin wire filament that melts (fuses) if the current drawn exceeds its limit.

No fuses, but it does have circuit breakers.
Circuit breakers started replacing fuses in homes in the 1960s and 1970s as a safer alternative for protecting electrical circuits. Circuit breakers are more convenient as they can be reset, whereas fuses need to be replaced when they blow.

Circuit breakers have replaced fuses in many modern homes. Circuit breakers offer better protection against overloads and short circuits, and they can be reset rather than needing to be replaced like fuses.
Short circuit fault.
During an electrical fault, be it a short circuit or circuit overload, fuses and breakers are designed to open at a specific amperage. This opening of either device eliminates a fire hazard before it gets a chance to start. This is how fuses and breakers protect the home.
Yes, circuit breakers are a popular alternative to fuses in house wiring systems. Circuit breakers are reusable and can be reset after they trip, unlike fuses which need to be replaced. circuit breakers can help protect against overload and short circuits in the electrical system.
Circuit breakers do the same thing as fuses. They interrupt current flow when a certain preset point is reached. The difference between circuit breakers and fuses are that circuit breakers are resettable and reusable, whereas fuses are one time devices that must be replaced after they blow.
