Mozilla Firefox goes above and beyond to protect your online activities with its latest feature - protection against supercookies. These elusive trackers persist even after you clear regular cookies, quietly monitoring your web behavior across sites. Firefox's innovative approach isolates these supercookies, preventing them from following you from one site to another.

The Firefox browser offers a clean and intuitive interface emphasizing ease of use. Users have the freedom to customize their browsing experience according to their preferences. The minimalist design keeps distractions at bay, allowing users to focus on what matters most: the content.

Where Firefox shines is in its functionality. Backed by a non-profit organization, the browser prioritizes user privacy with features like Advanced Tracking Protection, which blocks over 2,000 online trackers. Picture-in-Picture improves multitasking, allowing users to watch videos while navigating other tabs or applications seamlessly.

One of the highlights is Firefox Add-ons, which allow users to enhance and personalize their browsing experience. These add-ons act as powerful tools, allowing users to tailor the browser to their specific needs, from watching tutorials to following their favorite sports teams.

As well as being easy to use, Firefox is free to download, in line with the principles of openness and transparency. Non-profit support ensures that the browser is focused on the good of the user rather than profit.

What's new in version 85.0.2

Firefox now protects you from supercookies, a type of tracker that can stay hidden in your browser and track you online, even after you clear cookies. By isolating supercookies, Firefox prevents them from tracking your web browsing from one site to the next.
It’s easier than ever to save and access your bookmarks. Firefox now remembers your preferred location for saved bookmarks, displays the bookmarks toolbar by default on new tabs, and gives you easy access to all of your bookmarks via a toolbar folder.
The password manager now allows you to remove all of your saved logins with one click, as opposed to having to delete each login individually.
Firefox no longer supports Adobe Flash. There is no setting available to re-enable Flash support.
