SaaS Metrics
The internet. As it should be.
Firefox is a fast, private web browser designed to protect you by default. Privacy is built in from the start, so you can focus on what matters instead of worrying about who’s watching.
Why people choose Firefox:
• Enhanced Tracking Protection – Blocks trackers by default to help stop companies from following you across the web.
• Private browsing mode – Browse without saving your history, searches, or cookies.
• Page summaries – Get the key points from long pages and move on faster.
• Built-in password manager – Generate strong passwords, save them securely, and autofill logins when you need them.
• Flexible search options – Choose your default search engine or switch search engines right from the search bar.
• Reader Mode – Remove ads and clutter from articles so you can focus on what you’re reading.
• Sync across devices – Pick up where you left off with synced tabs, bookmarks, and passwords when you sign in to your Mozilla account.
Private by default
Firefox is designed with privacy built in from the moment you start browsing. Enhanced Tracking Protection automatically blocks common background trackers, including social media trackers, crypto miners, and fingerprinters. When you want extra privacy, private browsing mode doesn’t save your history, searches, or cookies.
Focus on what matters
The web can be distracting. Firefox is designed to help you stay focused without making you manage everything yourself. Reader Mode clears clutter from articles, and picture-in-picture keeps videos visible while you multitask—without pulling focus from what you’re doing.
Browse your way
Customize Firefox to fit how you browse. Personalize your home screen with wallpapers and layout options, and choose your preferred search engine instead of being pushed into a single ecosystem.
You can move the search bar to the top or bottom of the screen for easier one-handed browsing. Sign in to your Mozilla account to sync tabs, bookmarks, passwords, and browsing history across devices, so switching feels seamless.
Built for people, not profit
Firefox was created in 2004 by Mozilla as a faster, more private, and more customizable alternative to other browsers. Today, Mozilla remains a nonprofit and continues working to make the internet — and the time you spend on it — better.

Community Voice & Feedback
They update with more and more Bloat that I don’t want, I didn’t ask for and password protection has too many redundant layers I didn’t want and now I can’t even get or change my password without jumping thought extra layers that just prevent me from using basic interaction to reset it.
Firefox has always been my favorite browser on the desktop and an iOS.
But in the last 150. release, they removed the home button, which will let you return a tab to your home icons (favored web pages) screen from any page with a single press. Now it’s multiple steps.
In addition, at startup, they now restore any page you were looking at when you force closed the app last time So now all your old tabs return. Combined with the above inability to quickly get back to the homepage, they have functionally disabled much of what was good with the Firefox browser. They’ve turned a fast and easy to use browser into a cumbersome and annoying app.

The app keeps crashing. I keep getting logged out. The tabs keep refreshing. Also, whenever a page refreshes, it messes with the browsing history by leaving duplicate entries in the page history. And pages keep being forced back to the top. Switching tabs and navigating pages is too slow. This is on Private Browsing, where there is not website data to delete.
Not one outfit is something I’d wear
When will extension support be added?
Been using Firefox on all my stuff for a while, gotta say, it's still one of the greats. With how long each browser version lasts, it's all I need on any device. I use v55 on Windows XP and Android 4.1, and seventy something on Mac OS Mavericks, and I use the modern version on Android Lollipop and newer and iOS 15 and newer. At this rate, this 5 star rating will never lower. Keep doing what you do, Mozilla! Without you, we wouldn't have one of the best browsers of all time!
Works great so far, looking to replace a broken-yet-popular AI browser (we don’t want it!!), and the only thing I don’t like is that there’s no setting to close all tabs when exiting the app. Update: I can’t with the ads! At least the broken browser blocked 98% of ads…this is just pop-ups and scrolling ads and I can’t anymore.
I’ve bounced around so many browsers over the years but Firefox remains my favorite by far. Fast, feature rich, owned by a non-profit, and maybe best of all respects your privacy and data.
Best browser I’ve ever used
The search engine (Mr/ Mrs.Fox) happens to be in experimental mode now. If the User goes into their Settings, they’re selecting random Hosts to search & experiment on. The aim is to better the quality of Search Engine(s.) I may be a minority in stating the next sentence, but with every new update a Search Engine does, it resets the settings for the Users. Keep an eye out for your data folks😍
I’ve been a Firefox user on desktop since 2009 and have used it since it’s debut on iPhone and all I can say is that it’s great. Absolutely no complaints.
Do yourself the favor and switch
Firefox is the ELITE browser, I use it with my pc, and I just recently got it on my iPad, it’s a very nice browser, and (hopefully) doesn’t track all my personal info ❤️
I love FireFox containers and use them everyday on Windows and MacOS. They need to find a way to bring them to mobile.
