==Advantages==

+

Mozilla Firefox is a fairly fast, stable browser with plenty of options. As a product of Mozilla's sizable open source community, it is unlikely to contain any major bugs. It also can be customized with a variety of addons from Mozilla's library. Third party plugins may also be added to the browser.

+

==Disadvantages==

+

When compared to [[Chromium (web browser)|Chromium]], this browser does not perform quite as quickly. Although addons are plentiful and easy to create, they must be frequently updated, or the browser will disable them. Additionally, Mozilla has taken a very liberal political stance, which some find hard to agree with. For these reasons, some opt for forks of Firefox.
