Firefox 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.
Here you can find articles for the Firefox Release channel and the Firefox Dev/Beta channels.
