Personalization

Why should your browser look and act like everyone else's?

Security & Privacy

Security

Security

We care about your security.An international community of security experts is working around the clock to make your web browsing safer. Our team works right from the start to identify and address potential problems before a single line of code is written.

Security

•Plug-in checker•Instant website ID•Anti-phishing•Anti-malware

Privacy

Privacy

The Web browser has become one of the most critical and trusted relationships of our modern lives – with nearly perfect knowledge of everything we do. We take your privacy very seriously and that’s why Firefox has implemented a number of great features to keep your private data secure.

Features

Surf the Web without leaving a single trace.

Private Browsing

Performance

Performance

We’re constantly optimizing Firefox to be great for the way you use the web – things like making new tabs open up more quickly, or having the Awesome Bar provide results even faster. In the end, it’s about getting you where you need to go as quickly and easily as possible.

More Features

Features

Find the sites you love in seconds (and without having to remember clunky URLs).

Awesome Bar

Features Stay in Sync

When you set up Firefox Sync on your computer , all of your data and preferences (such as your bookmarks, history, passwords, open tabs and installed add-ons) gets stored securely on the Mozilla servers. Then you can connect other devices (a mobile phone for example) and they will be automatically synchronized, giving you access to all of your information no matter where you are.

FeaturesOffline Browsing

Take your computer offline and still have your information at your fingertips. Certain sites may allow applications—like your Web-based email—to stay with you at all times.

FeaturesDo Not track Me

Most major websites track their visitors' behavior and then sell or provide that information to other companies (like advertisers). Firefox has a Do-not-track feature that lets you tell websites you don't want your browsing behavior tracked.

When you turn on the Do-not-track feature, Firefox tells every website you visit (as well as their advertisers and other content providers) that you don't want your browsing behavior tracked

FeaturesSwitch To Tab

As you’re opening a new tab or typing in the Awesome Bar, Firefox will check to see if you already have that site open. If you do, you’ll be directed to the existing tab so you don’t open a duplicate.

FeaturesTags

Label a site with names or categories that are meaningful to you. For example, you can label both www.bbc.co.uk and www.nytimes.com with the “news” tag. When you enter “news” into the location bar, both sites will be shown as results. A single site can have multiple tags, and there’s no limit to the number of tags you can create. You may not remember the exact name of a site, but with a tag, you’ll be able to find it easily.
