Firefox, the free and open-source web browser developed by the Mozilla Foundation. This means the source code is freely available for anyone to inspect, modify, and contribute to. This collaborative approach fosters a strong focus on innovation, security, and open web standards.
Launched in 2004, it quickly became a major player in the browser wars, challenging the dominance of Internet Explorer and offering a user-friendly, customizable alternative.
