Mozilla Firefox (or simply Firefox) is a free and open-source[21] web browser developed by the Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation. Firefox is available for Windows, OS X and Linux operating systems, with its mobile versions available for Android, and Firefox OS; where all of these versions use the Gecko layout engine to render web pages, which implements current and anticipated web standards,[22] but an additional version released in late 2015 – Firefox for iOS has also been made available – that doesn't use Gecko.

Firefox was created in 2002, under the name "Phoenix" by the Mozilla community members who wanted a standalone browser rather than the Mozilla Application Suite bundle. Even during its beta phase, Firefox proved to be popular by its testers and was praised for its speed, security and add-ons compared to Microsoft's then-dominant Internet Explorer 6. Firefox was released in November 2004,[23] and was highly successful with 60 million downloads within nine months, which was the first time that Internet Explorer's dominance was challenged.[24] Firefox is considered the spiritual successor of Netscape Navigator,[25] as the Mozilla community was created by Netscape in 1998 before their acquisition by AOL.

Mozilla Firefox is a free open source web browser for the computer. It displays web pages written in the computer language HTML. It is made by the Mozilla Foundation. It works on all common operating systems. The makers did not put in all possible features by design, instead extra features can be added. This was done to make Firefox simple to use and safe.
