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. Alternatives considered [Microsoft Edge](https://www.capterra.com/p/229037/Microsoft-Edge/)[Opera](https://www.capterra.com/p/229024/Opera/)[Safari](https://www.capterra.com/p/229123/Safari/)[Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Reason for choosing Firefox I prefer Firefox over the other products but use Google Chrome more than it due to the tools on google that I use Review Source BS B S. Operations Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My ride or die browser" July 7, 2025 4.0 Firefox are true innovators and I have rewarded them for many years for being the first to do tabbed browsing. 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. Review Source JB Joshua B. Ceo Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Your fired fox" November 15, 2025 3.0 I wouldnt say I had a bad experience. I wouldnt say I had a good one either. Its just not my cup of tea. Pros Its content approval. Firefox will just about let you have access to most any format of data you desire. Cons Its Features and functionality of the browser itself, lack any quality or exuberance. Its just to outdated. Feels like im swimming in syrup, When trying to load pages. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) For privacy concerns. I made a mistake. Google has Firefox blown away. Review Source TBN Themba Bongani N. Publisher Broadcast Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best browser ever" June 9, 2026 5.0 I'm happy with fire fox browser and I'm happy with everything on the app that's why i recommended the app to my family and friends.. Pros Best and safe web browser I've been using for years and years without even thinking about switching because of safety and speed of the browser is excellent. Cons Nothing because I've been using this app like for years now and still have nothing to complain about, the creators knew exactly what they were doing 👏 Review Source DB David B. Photo editor and website admin Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A solid, well designed browser that has always come out on top." 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. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Firefox is the best browser by miles" May 20, 2025 5.0 I have been using it for many years with no problems. 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 KM Kyle M. Streamer Computer Games Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Amazing product with little drawback" June 4, 2025 5.0 Very positive. I trust it over most others. I've used Opera GX, which I liked but found it lacking overall. Firefox filled that spot perfectly Pros It has the same functionality of most other browsers that everyone is used to, but without the massive resource hogging Cons It will sometimes just stop playing my sounds and I need to reload the browser entirely to get them to work again, not just a page refresh Alternatives considered [Microsoft Edge](https://www.capterra.com/p/229037/Microsoft-Edge/) Reason for choosing Firefox Wasn't fond of IE in the past, and while yes they updated it, it still feels wrong to use it Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Chrome would cause massive memory leaks and crash my computer 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.

It is really working well for me and it has a very high speed. Pros I like its efficient search engine. It has many wonderful features. It is good for browsing. Its customer service team is good Cons Since I have been using Firefox, it has been a wonderful browser for me so I don’t have any con about it for now. Review Source ES Ed S. Service Desk Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Firefox - Our Preferred Browser" January 10, 2025 5.0 Firefox is our preferred browser due to their extension offerings and usability features that a few of our users require. Pros Firefox is the most accessible browser we use and helps users of need. Cons We are hoping they include vertical tabs into the mainline release. Switched from [Microsoft Edge](https://www.capterra.com/p/229037/Microsoft-Edge/) The accessibility, extensions, and open-source privacy first model. Review Source PM Peter M. Commercial Accounts Representative Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Firefox Is A Keeper " December 14, 2024 5.0 Overall I find Firefox to be a efficient, effective and secure browser's option. The security enables one to be able to browse online without having to deal with a bunch of annoying pop-ups. Pros The most amazing part of the Firefox Browser is the amount of extensions that are available to make browsing more efficient and secure. I am really fond of the Adguard extension that stops malware from negatively affecting the browsing experience. Cons The minor issue I have with Firefox is the inability to use a preferred homepage. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Chrome does not have a way to block malware and pop-ups.

September 25, 2024 4.0 Overall, I like this browser more than others due some good features, like privacy and good add-ons. Pros I like how it's open source and I like the privacy features. Cons Sometimes it can be a bit slower than other browsers, particularly from a mobile device. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Privacy features are better on Firefox and the program is also more intuitive. Review Source David M. IT Technician Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "David's Firefox Review" March 31, 2024 5.0 Firefox is an easy to use broswer and keeps updating the interface to suite the morden looks and feel. Pros Forefox works on all platform's, being mobile and computers supporting both android and ios for mobile phones and ChromeOS, linux, Windows and Mac for computers. Cons Tabs on firefox can be quite memory intensive and smaller machines can not open many tabs without slowing the system down. Switched from [Safari](https://www.capterra.com/p/229123/Safari/) Safari lacks support for most extentions which firefox does. Review Source Mahmudul islam S.

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. Switched from [Microsoft Edge](https://www.capterra.com/p/229037/Microsoft-Edge/) Needs updated browser with low reloading time, besides it did not slow down my PC.

I was, and I am still fully satisfied by the development of Firefox. With the native container plugin, I can now compartmentalize my internet activities in a single browser. Pros The extensions catalogue, the performance is unsurpassed by any other browser, and it can be customized at will. Without having to make any arrangements, personal data is protected via a tracker and a digital fingerprint blocker. Cons The VPN and Relay services are pointless; I want more narrow, long-lasting services. And browsers like Vivaldi have out-of-date tab management. Alternatives considered [Vivaldi Browser](https://www.capterra.com/p/229063/Vivaldi-Browser/) Reason for choosing Firefox Mainly cause Firefox was well known by a huge part of collaborators so the switch was more easy Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Our E-learning website was not accessible over chrome after a change in SSL certificate but works perfectly on Firefox and Opera.

Pros First of all Firefox is free and has many good options and also allows ether their own additions or other third party additions to be installed. There are a wide variety of additional options available for Firefox. We use Firefox at our business for over 10 years, it's easy to install and setup, provides fast browsing and very customizable with many options. Cons Sometimes managing additions can be confusing as some are called 'containers' and some as 'extensions'. Alternatives considered [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Reason for choosing Firefox Firefox just seemed a more straight forward browser, easy to use.

I understand it's a strong point of the brand. I can perceive it in several practical ways. For instance, the actions to inform and create a growing awareness of the end-users are priceless. Firefox is always one step ahead. When I received the news about the "Firefox Monitor" existence, I spread it everywhere because I found it invaluable. Cons The enterprises I collaborate with sometimes ask me to use different browsers because their systems or platforms (for whatever purposes) are not optimized for Firefox. It's a bit annoying because I prefer not to use other browsers. Really. I set all my passwords and preferences in Firefox. Review Source Similar Products Featured
