Firefox is a web browser, an alternative to Edge, Safari and other browsers.

It is free to download and use and offers loads of facilities. It can be found here - https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/new/

We like it because it is provided by Mozilla, a non-profit organisation which provides Firefox by collaboration with volunteers around the world. One of the key features of Firefox is the facility for clever people to write 'add ons and plug ins' to the basic browser. Our very own, very clever Ed Hibbert wrote a plugin that ran via the Firefox browser, which made managing Yahoo Groups so much easier and more friendly. This is no longer available, but Freegle now offers ModTools, a website which can run on Firefox, Chrome and other browsers, and as a mobile app.

If you have any questions about Firefox, do ask on Central http://freegle.it/Central

Lastly, you can download a Firefox Freegle Persona to make your daily experience of looking at your computer screen really freegly!
