Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Organization is a non-profit entity dedicated to promoting an open and accessible internet for everyone. It originated from the Mozilla Project, which began as an open-source initiative by Netscape in 1998 to foster innovation and community collaboration in web technologies. The organization focuses on user privacy, security, and open standards to empower people to control their internet experience rather than be dominated by large tech companies.

Mozilla Firefox is one of Mozilla Organization’s flagship products—a free, open-source web browser launched in 2004. It was developed as a standalone browser by Mozilla community members who aimed to provide a faster, safer, and more customizable alternative to existing browsers. Firefox introduced popular features such as tabbed browsing, an integrated pop-up blocker, and an extension system that allowed users to tailor the browser’s functionality.

Over the years, Firefox gained acclaim for its strong stances on privacy and security, such as blocking trackers and cross-site cookies by default and offering regular security updates. In 2017, Mozilla launched Firefox Quantum, incorporating a revamped browsing engine that enhanced speed and performance. Firefox supports extensive customization through themes and add-ons and provides cross-device synchronization of bookmarks, passwords, and tabs with robust encryption.

Mozilla Firefox continues to advance web standards and developer tools, empowering users and developers alike while advocating for an internet that is open, secure, and centered around people’s needs rather than profit.
