About
Firefox is a fast, private web browser from Mozilla that blocks trackers by default and protects your privacy from the start. Enhanced Tracking Protection automatically blocks social media trackers, crypto miners, and fingerprinters. The built-in password manager generates and securely stores strong passwords with autofill support. Private browsing mode doesn't save history, searches, or cookies. Reader Mode removes ads and clutter from articles, while picture-in-picture keeps videos visible while multitasking. Sign in to your Mozilla account to sync tabs, bookmarks, passwords, and history across devices. Customize your home screen with wallpapers and layout options, and choose your preferred search engine.
