It seems that the privacy community has a love/hate relationship with Firefox and Mozilla in general. Some will say it is because of their out-of-the-box privacy settings and others will say it is because of the Mozilla organization's “pro-censorship” stance.

These include constant removal of features, bad coding paradigms, poor memory management, and hidden telemetry. In short, Firefox simply doesn't work that well anymore for developers or ordinary users who just want to use their browser, thank you very much.

While you aren't beholden to one browser for life, you're likely to keep using the same one for simplicity's sake. It's easy to just default to the ever-popular Google Chrome browser, but Firefox puts up a good fight. Firefox remains incredibly popular, and for good reason.

Mozilla Firefox is free and open source software, built by a community of thousands from all over the world. There are a few things you should know: Firefox is made available to you under the terms of the Mozilla Public License. This means you may use, copy and distribute Firefox to others.
