== Is Firefox "free"? == |
|
|
|
|
|
The top part of the article says Firefox is a "free and open-source" web browser, however I was under the impression that parts of Firefox were non-free (free-as-in-freedom). Is this accurate? --] (]) 17:22, 22 June 2019 (UTC) |

: It is released without cost to the person who installs and uses it, so it is free. ] (]) 18:30, 22 June 2019 (UTC) |

:: "Free" when used as "Free and open-source" doesn't refer to cost, it refers to "freedom", mainly the program's license and the rights it gives to the users. I was under the impression that parts of Firefox were "non-free". Cost is irrelevant to "freedom". Sorry for the confusion. --] (]) 21:30, 24 June 2019 (UTC) |

::: That's one interpretation of what ] means. There are ] and none of those appear to be contravened by Firefox. Which are you concerned with? Which do you have sources to support that contravention? ] (]) 21:35, 24 June 2019 (UTC) |

::::The Firefox branding (e.g. logo) is non-free. Everyone may compile a completely free version of Firefox, but without using its branding. This was once an issue for Debian and Ubuntu. See ]. ] (]) 01:40, 25 June 2019 (UTC) |

{{request edit|D|T}}<br/>I work for Mozilla so changing this very important page might be a CoI. Mozilla announced a change in the Firefox brand (https://blog.mozilla.org/opendesign/firefox-the-evolution-of-a-brand/) where Firefox will be the masterbrand and the spezific products have specific names. Firefox therefor does not reference anymore just the browser but more products so this page should imo move to Firefox_browser and Firefox should be an overview of all products of the umbrella brand. ] (]) 09:49, 1 July 2019 (UTC) |

A majority of modern day browsers are free and make money of ads, or in Firefox's case donations/royalties. ] (]) 15:24, 20 June 2020 (UTC) |

== Firefox browser and Firefox product family == |
|
|
|
|
|
Can this page be separated into two pages, one for the browser, and one for the product family? ] (]) 08:15, 22 October 2019 (UTC) |

: I'm going to personally lean towards no. While I did notice the new Firefox 70 icon, the Firefox.com site still prominently shows the web browser, and the other Firefox software (Lockwise password manager, Monitor privacy check, Send temporary file upload and Pocket bookmark service) are all complimentary aka. add-ons or web services, although some have dedicated apps and/or support non-Firefox browsers. All this to say, the Firefox name generally refers to the browser. For other uses, a disambiguation page is more than enough. --] (]) 22:20, 22 October 2019 (UTC) |

In the infobox and system requirements table, I've noted that OS X 10.9-10.11 are supported by the ESR channel, but 10.12 is needed for the standard release. However, this goes against the precedent of the last time this happened, when OS X 10.6-10.8 were dropped in 2016. Should I leave it the way I edited it until 2021, or just immediately bump the requirements to macOS 10.12?Herbfur (talk) 15:35, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
Due to the high amount of memes of the Firefox logo being oversimplified, and a bunch of media coverage on it, should we start adding a controversy section regarding the logo? — Preceding unsigned comment added by The great Jay (talk • contribs) 04:06, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
On a Motorola Moto G5 Plus (ARM Cortex-A53), which apparently won't get updates beyond Android 8.1.0, Firefox Beta reports it's on version 92.0.0-beta.8
