Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Been enjoying Edge for a year, but always appreciated FF for it being it's own thing. Worth a shot?
Firefox was great, went to shit for a couple of years, and is now back to being great again. I've heard it's much easier on memory as well.
It's one of the few non-chromium browsers left, so you should definitely try it because Google is trying to make their own standards with chromium.
It's literally the only non-chromium browser left other than Safari. That's why it is critically important that Firefox maintain a presence
Definitely. Check out our switching guide for some tips.
Certainly. It's really important to have as many people as possible using a different browser engine (Gecko) in this Chromium-dominated world.
And ... uBlock Origin works the best on Firefox (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox).
I genuinely think the web has become horrible enough where the browser you use does not really matter from the technical perspective.
It does, however, incredibly important to have more than 1 engine competing, as currently Firefox is the only mainstream browser not built on chromium/google.
I use edge at work (nothing else available), Firefox everywhere else.
It would be nice if more add-ons were supported on mobile, desktop is great.
