Firefox Release News
Mozilla Firefox is the world’s most-used open-source browser. Developed by the Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiary the Mozilla Corporation, Firefox uses the Gecko rendering engine as a pose to EdgeHTML or the Blink engine as we’ve seen with leading alternatives.
Even though Firefox doesn’t run on a Chromium foundation, it’s still a great browser. Firefox comes with its own set of unique browser extensions, but since it has a stern following, enough support is there for a robust ecosystem. In fact, Firefox had a long history of being the go-to browser for extensions and was well-known for its extensive toolbar.
The Firefox release channel is the browser with the official builds available to the general public. These are final release builds. Those wanting early release builds, can check the Firefox Dev/Beta channels.
