Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Let's take advantage of the fact that we are so small! Say hi and tell us how you started using Firefox!

Introduce yourself!

Well ... since you ask so nicely ...

started out with win95 + IE in my late school days.
In college started using Linux and with it Firefox.

For quite a while frequently jumped around and tried alternatives that promised to be more specialized/better in some way ... but everything seemed to have drawbacks, which at the time frustrated me endlessly and i did not want to accept.

A few years later i became tired of switching and with browsers becoming more and more complex i looked for a good balance of usability, stability, privacy, security and customizability.

Firefox has kind of hit the sweet spot here for me.

And while i still do not agree with every decision/action mozilla/the firefox dev team makes ... i now use it almost exclusively and even try to improve the Fx experience for me and others, mostly by writing addons and sometimes by tinkering around with its base source a little.

Was active on reddit the last couple of years ... but gladly switched away from it.

Hope this here is gonna be an nice and intersting place to visit frequently.
