Mozilla sets the benchmark for web browsers

Firefox Web Browser is a free, open-source web browser that offers numerous features and customization options. Its performance is excellent, and it's designed to protect your privacy. 

All the features that you need

Firefox includes several built-in features that can be extended through a vast catalog of extensions.

It offers tabbed browsing (customizable), the standard on all browsers now for quite some time. It also has an integrated search engine and is easily customizable.

From the homepage, you'll have access to a Google search box and a list of shortcuts to access your downloads, bookmarks, history, add-ons, synchronization and settings. It has all the essential features and also includes a spell checker, built-in PDF reader, navigation with geotagging, and much more.

As for security, there is a pop-up blocker, an anti-phishing filter, and features to protect your privacy, the cornerstone of Mozilla. In addition to the usual private browsing mode, Firefox gives you the option to block websites from tracking you, and can even tell you which websites you're being tracked by using the Lightbeam add-on.

Firefox offers a system that ensures that the sites you visit are reliable, also verifying that your connection is secure. Security updates are automatic to ensure that you are always protected against the latest threats. 

It also provides some basic features, which are a spell checker, integrated PDF reader, navigation with geolocation, a reading mode to read without distractions, integration with Pocket and more.

Highly customizable

One of Firefox's biggest advantages is its ability to adapt to each user, made possible through the numerous customization options that allow you to organize the browser and tailor it to your needs - including the ability to allow your favorite sites to send you Push Notifications.

Many themes are available for spicing up your Firefox interface, and you can organize your tools and most used features as you like in the menu or personal toolbar.

Add-ons are also a great way to customize the browser and increase functionality. Some add-ons have become essential, such as Adblock Plus or Video DownloadHelper, which both have several million users. 

In addition, Firefox has Firefox Hello, an ephemeral chat room service, similar to Hangouts and based on the protocol WebRTC (so you will not need an additional plugin). With Firefox Hello you can also send the page you are visiting straight to your friends.

Since version 35, Firefox allows access to its extension store Firefox Marketplace from the toolbar itself.

One of the best browsers available

There's a reason why Mozilla Firefox is one of the world's most popular web browsers. It's complete in terms of features, reliability and flexibility, and it offers everything you need for browsing the web in the smoothest way possible. 

Changes

Firefox Quantum is the latest update for Mozilla Firefox. Its main feature lies in an increase in speed, since the new version uses 30% less RAM than Google Chrome. To be more in line with its user’s latest needs, Firefox now includes add-ons such as WebVR and WebAssembly, which are compatible with desktop applications and virtual reality glasses. After testing this update, we can say that Firefox Quantum is twice as fast when it comes to loading pages than its predecessor.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
