Chrome put an intense strain on my set up when gaming, and that doesn't bode well when you're trying to stream! Firefox and my games run like a dream side-by-side unless I open something really intensive like Tumblr! Pros I love how much lighter it is on my PC while I am doing other things at the same time! It doesn't get bogged down nearly as much as it did when I had my previous browser; I noticably get better CPU/GPU performance when I use Firefox as opposed to Chrome. Cons I miss a lot of the extensions and customizations that I had access to in my old browser. I felt I could make it a lot more personal then than I can now with Firefox; it tries it's best and the library is large and ever growing, but it always feels like it's one step behind Chrome. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) I needed a browser that wouldn't interfere with my gameplay! Review Source BS B S.

I like so many of the features they offer: The bookamarks, the history, passwords and autofill, and the bevy of extensions you can add to tailor your browsing experience. As others have copied their innovation, most browsers feel pretty much the same. But Firefox is my ride or die. Pros Firefox was the first to use tabbed browsing which is why I began with them in 1999. Since then, their product has remained awesome and it's my favorite first browser. The bookmarks toolbar works well, as does bookmark management of saving all of my bookmarks. Now that you can log in and have functionality across any system, it's just about perfect. Cons When other, bigger entities started making tabbed browsers, I noticed that firefox functionality is sometimes difficult with some web sites. I don't believe this is a necessarily a firefox issue, but it does force me to use a secondary browser for a lot of sites. Switched from [Explorer](https://www.capterra.com/p/211320/Explorer/) Tabbed browsing was the biggest improvement for me to switch initially.

Freezes more than ice" March 12, 2025 1.0 Pros there are no positive remarks to make about firebox Cons The firefox browser & app are very buggy. it tends to freeze quite a bit while browsing them both professionally and personally Review Source BJ Birte J. Retired Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Firefox works!" January 16, 2026 5.0 My experience with Firefox is great! I love the automatic update, being able to customize settings and it doesn’t make my laptop slow. Pros Privacy - and the option to customize my preferences. I have used Firefox for about 10 years, maybe more - and find it hard to even imagine using another browser. Cons I cannot think of anything that I dislike. Firefox is actually really easy to manage - in every way. Switched from [Microsoft Edge](https://www.capterra.com/p/229037/Microsoft-Edge/) For the sake of privacy and overall comfort!

May 27, 2025 4.0 I've had many years experience with Firefox and have chosen it over all other alternatives many times. I hope this continues but time will tell. Pros I especially like the fact that Firefox is a fast, security-oriented browser. By far its best feature is that on start-up, if it is set to open previous tabs, it doesn't automatically load tab contents, therefore its memory usage is well optimised. I'm yet to find any browser that does this so well. Cons I don't have many complaints, but on the latest update it seems that AI has been forced upon the user in the new side-bar. However this is a minor complaint as it seems to be easily turned off. Alternatives considered [Microsoft Edge](https://www.capterra.com/p/229037/Microsoft-Edge/)[Brave](https://www.capterra.com/p/229030/Brave/)[Opera](https://www.capterra.com/p/229024/Opera/)[Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Reason for choosing Firefox By far the most important benefit, other than Firefox Sync, was the fact that the tabs load only when needed (as explained previously). It is also available for so many operating systems, including Linux, Windows, MacOS, Android, etc. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) It was many years ago, and I had used Firefox previously. Firefox won out as it was faster overall. I cannot guarantee this is still the case, but its well-written, optimised code was a draw. Review Source CD Caleb D.

Stop Using Google Chrome LOL" April 14, 2025 5.0 Overall, I'm quite pleased with Firefox. I like that it doesn't bog down my computer or chew threw my data. I appreciate that it allows for some customization via themes and add-ons, and that there isn't any shady data collection going on. I much prefer Firefox to other web browsers. Pros I prefer Firefox to other browsers because its a happy middle-ground of functionality and privacy. Google Chrome is fast and sleek, but it chugs through RAM and tracks everything you do. Brave doesn't track every single click and cookie, but it's a little on the slow side, and some of the sites I visit don't work on it at all. Firefox is the best of both worlds: it's fast, functional, and doesn't steal my personal information (after changing some settings). I like that Firefox offers multiple search engines by default, including DuckDuckGo. I appreciate that there are so many add-ons available, and that they are (mostly) vetted by Mozilla. I've been using Firefox for years. I expect that won't change any time soon. Cons This isn't an issue with Firefox per se, but the website I use to view my paychecks doesn't work on Firefox. I wish using Firefox was more commonplace in office settings. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) I switched from Google Chrome because Google Chrome annihilates your RAM and tracks everything you see and search for.

It is easy to customize and seems to use predictive input in an incredibly accurate way. I click a box and my email or other personal details just appear. Simples. Pros It is a true independent product and easy to customize. Far more intuitive than other more "modern" browsers. Cons I really don't have any dislikes about it. Maybe having to manually add the extension for emailing page links direct or snipping / screenshotting but other than that its great. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Firefox is much easier to use, has better features and a far lesser reputation for data exploitaton. Review Source Michelle D.

I have always had minimal technical issues with it and it has always performed fast for me. It has never been hard to use or find out how to use the features of the browser Pros I love Firefox. I have used it for many years and love the tools and features it has. It is my secondary browser. It is very user friendly and customizable. Cons Not really anything. I only started using Chrome primarily because of the Google Tools I regularly use.

Medicare agent Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Firefox works great for me!" January 28, 2025 5.0 I’ve been using Firefox for a long time now. For a lot of companies I’ve worked at, their proprietary websites only work with Firefox so it’s necessary to use. It works really well and I don’t encounter a lot of errors. Pros It’s compatible with everything and it’s easy to have multiple profiles. Cons I don’t dislike anything. Everything with it works well. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Things didn’t work as well as they should have Review Source JK Justin K. Teacher and Technology Coach Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A User Friendly Browser Option" September 24, 2025 5.0 I have always had a positive experience with Firefox. I like the ability to monitor the settings easily and set my own security and sharing preferences. It is also a smoother browser unlike the power-hog nature of Chrome. Pros I like that it offers and alternative to Google Chrome for a different browsing experience. It provides a secure and user friendly way to browse the web. Cons I don't like that it's not readily available on Chromebook and other Chrome devices. I know that is due more to Google and their restrictions than anything, but I wish it was more widely available. Switched from [DuckDuckGo](https://www.capterra.com/p/10019676/DuckDuckGo/)[Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) I was looking for more control over safety and security when it comes to what personal data I share while browsing.

Smoothness is the key here. It's really very simple to use and is the quickest browser, can able to complete my personal task with passion. They continuously updating their addon stores, somehow I feel like they are behind of chrome in this area. If I forget this factor, they are quite good in other sector. I get total privacy here to use them. Private browsing is very interesting option I used to do here, inorder to complete my task. Pros Address bar in Firefox is very simple, good for use. Bookmark management is very thoughtful here. I can easily track my footprint by adding them in bookmark section. With the privacy setting I can protect my data here. They continuously updating their addon to compete with other competitor, as a result we can do our normal work in less time. Firefox have updated private browsing option, helps me to check perfectly. In one word I can say, smooth browser with lots off features. Did not consume much PC ram, so as a result I can use my device with ease Cons They are focusing on addon stores, it will be better for us, if they added new websites/tools addon. Now a days every one is trying minimize the work time. It could be very effective for all of us.

March 22, 2022 4.0 Firefox is a browser that has been evolving more and more and its developers have been striving to deliver a fast, secure, stable browser and that's great! Firefox is one of the top browsers on the market that takes privacy seriously. I feel very safe using the browser for my daily activities and banking. There are details that need to be improved, but I'm sure the developers will be working to keep evolving the browser more and more and meeting our users' needs. For my part, I recommend the browser and I believe that it will grow, evolve and accompany us for a long time, meeting our expectations as much as possible. Pros Firefox is the best browser in terms of security today. The possibility of adding security extensions, the cross-platform support and the privacy offered by it masterfully differentiates it from the others. A browser that doesn't consume a lot of memory, fast, efficient and easy to use! A fresh and clean interface! Wonderful design with beautiful wallpapers to choose from. Syncing with other devices is seamless. It took me a long time to install, I thought it was inferior to other browsers, but I confess that it surprised me! It gives me enormous security to carry out my banking activities and transactions, in addition to being very easy to use, even for users who are not very familiar with the internet! Cons I really miss the page translation tool, it would make navigation and life easier for users. It also bothers me a lot when I need to open more than one tab and the browser is slow and crashes, requiring me to restart the device and sometimes losing the material I was searching for.
