Firefox Channels

Firefox Release - Use this as a last resort or you will be laughed at by men that use less stable software than you.

Firefox Beta

Firefox Aurora

Nightly - Automatic builds of Firefox every day. Bleeding edge features, but stuff can break. Don't go asking /g/ if something is broken when you're using Nightly. It's probably because you're using Nightly.

Useful Extensions

  • Additional Filters. You probably want Easylist, EasyPrivacy, Fanboy's Annoyances, and Malware Domains.
  • FxIF - View EXIF data in image properties.
  • HTTPS Finder - Detects available https and creates HTTPS Everywhere rules
  • NoScript - Whitelists execution of JavaScript, Plugins and other stuff
  • RefControl - Control what gets sent as the HTTP Referer on a per-site basis.
  • BetterPrivacy - Manages and auto destroys flash cookies, aka super cookies.
  • Blender - Automatically spoofs your user agent string to another popular one.
  • SessionManager - Along with many other features allows you to encrypt your firefox session.
  • ViewTube - Replaces flash video players with HTML5.
  • VimFx - Vim bindings without changes in the UI.

Libre forks

Since the Firefox brand is copyrighted by the Mozilla Foundation, special forks exist, created to remove those copyrighted assets and replace them with free/libre ones.

  • GNU IceCat is a fork mantained by the GNU Project. Besides replacing the copyrighted bits, IceCat adds some small security/privacy features, and hosts a list of addons that are released under a free license.
  • IceWeasel is the fork mantained by the Debian Project. It was created to fit Debians philosophy of backporting, instead of updating to a newer version more nicely.
