Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox download for windows is a free and Open Source web browser developed by the Mozilla Foundation in 2004. The Firefox web browser can be used with Windows operating systems, Firefox uses the Google search page as its homepage and default search engine.

Firefox is guided by The Mozilla Manifesto, a set of principles the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation developed. Firefox’s privacy and open source free principles make it a unique web browser for windows.

Firefox introduced and popularized many of today’s standard browser features. When the Firefox browser was first released under the name Mozilla Firefox, it was one of the first browsers to offer a bookmark toolbar and tabbed browsing, which lets users open tabs in the same window and switch back and forth among them. Mozilla Firefox also offered a pop-up blocker and a plugin that let developers add new, downloadable features known as browser extensions.

In 2016, Firefox announced Firefox Quantum, an update to its search engine that improved user experience and processing power. Quantum transitioned Firefox to a multi process architecture that uses less memory with many browser tabs open.

• Extensions and add-ons are security and ease-of-use features Firefox’s open source community creates. To Google Translate is a Firefox extension that uses Google Translate to automatically translate pages into a user’s desired language.
• Multi process memory use enables Firefox Quantum to use less memory than previous versions when users have multiple webpages open in tabs.
• Private browsing with improved privacy features automatically erases passwords, cookies and history after a browsing session. Firefox’s private browsing modes also block hidden trackers embedded in ads that slow performance.
• Ad blocker prevents ads from showing on webpages, including video ads, ads with trackers and third-party cookies.
• Customization settings let users change their browser’s colors and add themes, such as Space Galaxy, which includes images and colors associated with space.
• Fingerprint blocking prevents companies from creating unique profiles of users based on their hardware, software, add-ons, default web browser and other preferences, such as fonts. Companies use these fingerprints for targeted advertising campaigns and for surveillance capitalism
• Syncing enables users to access their Firefox settings and data, including passwords and open tabs, across multiple devices by storing their data on a private, encrypted key on Firefox servers.
• Picture-in-Picture lets users watch videos while on other pages. It pops a video into a separate window and pins it to the screen.
• Password manager stores users’ passwords and syncs them across devices.
