Еще в 2008 году Google представила новый революционный веб-браузер под названием Chrome. Влияние Chrome как инновации в области браузерных технологий было незамедлительно. В 2008 году Chrome предлагал более высокую скорость загрузки веб-сайтов, лучший пользовательский интерфейс браузера и многое другое. Даже в 2021 году Chrome станет ведущим веб-браузером для настольных компьютеров.
Хотя Google Chromes по-прежнему является лучшим браузером для настольных ПК, это не значит, что он вам подходит. В 2021 году у вас будет множество вариантов выбора веб-браузера. От нового Microsoft Edge до Firefox Quantum вы можете использовать веб-браузеры для удовлетворения ваших потребностей в просмотре веб-страниц.

What is Firefox ESR?
Firefox ESR or Extended Support Release is a version of the browser designed for IT professionals in particular. Using Firefox ESR, IT professionals can easily configure and deploy Firefox in their organization. It is based on a regular release of Firefox for desktop and is intended for use by several kinds of organizations like schools, businesses, and all those who need extended support for mass deployments or who want to set up and maintain Firefox on a large scale.
Firefox ESR 1
The main purpose of Firefox ESR is to provide support for older technologies like Microsoft Silverlight which have been deprecated. This feature of the browser is extremely useful for people who are still using older tech. Up to Firefox 52 ESR, Silverlight, as well as Java, was supported by the browser, however, with the release of Firefox 60 ESR, this support has been removed and the browser now only supports the Adobe Flash NPAPI plugin.
Чем Firefox лучше Google Chrome?
На данный момент Mozilla Firefox кажется самым большим соперником Google Chrome. Ситуация в Mozilla значительно изменилась после Firefox 57, также известного как Firefox Quantum. Согласно нескольким результатам тестов, веб-браузер Firefox Quantum работал в два раза быстрее, чем предыдущая версия Firefox, при этом потребляя на 30% меньше оперативной памяти, чем Chrome.
Firefox на самом деле быстрее и компактнее, чем Chrome, и это браузер, который заботится о вашей конфиденциальности. Кроме того, он предлагает вам отдельный раздел, чтобы максимизировать вашу конфиденциальность в Интернете. Итак, если вы действительно заботитесь о конфиденциальности, вам следует начать использовать Mozilla Firefox.
Как и Google Chrome, Firefox также может похвастаться широким набором расширений. У Chrome больше расширений, но у Firefox есть несколько уникальных. Некоторые расширения были настолько хороши, что они никогда не захотели отказаться от браузера Firefox.
Последнее и важное — Firefox может делать все, что делает Chrome. От управления различными профилями пользователей до синхронизации контента на разных устройствах — с браузером Firefox возможно все

There are several ways to use the MSI file with configurable parameters exposed in Firefox MSI:
Migrate to Firefox from Chrome and Edge browsers
Migrations are generally quite lengthy and cumbersome. They involve a lot of preparation, setups and configurations, and careful planning to be executed successfully. Switching from one browser to another is no different. You need to prepare the proper setup and import all your settings, bookmarks, preferences, etc.
However, switching from any other browser to Firefox is pretty straightforward. Plus, it has its perks! (Read benefits of Firefox mentioned in the section on Firefox Quantum).
In here, we’ll show you how you can easily migrate to Firefox from two of its biggest competitors – Edge and Chrome.
Firefox makes it extremely easy to migrate your saved information (passwords, history, and cookies) and bookmarks from Google Chrome. Usually, if you install a fresh copy of Firefox, it automatically prompts you to import all your data as shown below.Import bookmarks history and passwords in Firefox
You can also choose to sync your data on Mozilla cloud servers so that you can take all your data with you on all your devices. This option is also given to you when you first install Firefox.Using Firefox Sync
If, however, you already have Firefox installed on your system and have chosen to import your data now, you can do so with the help of the Import Browser Data tool. To use this tool follow the below-mentioned steps:
- First, launch the Bookmarks Manager. For this click on the Library icon in the toolbar and then click on Bookmarks -> Show all Bookmarks. You can also reach there by clicking on Ctrl + Shift +B.
Show all bookmarks
This will open the “Library” dialog box from where you can organize and import your bookmarks from another browser. In this dialog box, click on the “Import and Backup” button on the toolbar and then select the option “Import Data from Another Browser”.Import data from another browser
This will open another dialog box which will show you the available installed browsers on your machine. Select the browser from which you want to import data and click on Next.Choose the browser to select data to import
Next, select the data you wish to import. That is, the cookies, browsing history, and/or saved passwords.Select items to import cookies browsing the history
Next, Firefox will import the data and give you an appropriate success message. You can repeat this procedure for as many browsers as you require. The bookmarks from different browsers will be stored in “From <browserName>” folders in your bookmarks menu and toolbar, but you can reorganize them however you want to.
Note: Firefox cannot import your add-ons. For this, you’ll have to search for equivalent extensions yourself from the Firefox add-ons gallery.
Firefox offline installers
You have two official options to download offline versions of the Firefox web browser to your system. You can download offline versions of Firefox from the Mozilla website or from the archive server. Both let you download a full copy of Firefox for all supported operating systems, architectures, and languages.
The core difference between the two options is that you can download any version of Firefox from the FTP server but only the latest version from the website.
So, if you always wanted to check out Firefox 0.10, Firefox 4.0, or Firefox 25.0, now is your chance to do so (if you do, please do so in a locked down environment as these browsers may contain security vulnerabilities that were fixed in later versions).
Mozilla website
Note: Mozilla changed the design of download pages recently. While you can still use the links provided below to download offline installers for all supported operating systems, you now have to make up to three selections before you can do so.
Use the following links to open the Firefox offline installer download pages on the Mozilla website:
- Firefox Stable (offline):
- Firefox ESR (offline):
- Firefox Beta (offline): h
- Firefox Developer Edition (offline):
- Firefox Nightly (offline):
Downloads for Android are also provided:
- Firefox Android (offline):
- Firefox Android Beta (offline):
- Firefox Android Nightly (offline): y
All download pages use the same layout. Select the browser edition that you want to download, e.g. Beta or ESR, then the installer (Windows 32-bit and 64-bit, Linux 32-bit and 64-bit, Mac OS X, or Windows MSI 32-bit or 64-bit), and then the language. Hit the download now button to start the download of the full Firefox installer to the local system.
Mozilla FTP Server
You access the Mozilla FTP server via HTTP right now using the following URL:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
This opens a directory with links to all Firefox releases starting with Firefox 0.10 to the very latest (stable, beta and release candidate) releases. You can use the directory to download the latest release version of Firefox to your system but also any previous stable release of the web browser.
A click on a directory displays the supported operating systems on the next screen. The following options are usually provided (not that some may options may only be available for select versions and not all the time).
- win32 — Windows 32-bit Firefox
- win64 — Windows 64-bit Firefox
- win32-EME-free — Windows 32-bit Firefox without Encrypted Media Extensions
- win64-EME-free — Windows 64-bit Firefox without Encrypted Media Extensions
- Linux-i686 — 32-bit Linux Firefox
- Linux-x86_64 — 64-bit Linux Firefox
- mac — Mac OS X version of Firefox
- mac-EME-free — Mac OS X version of Firefox without Encrypted Media Extensions
A click on one of the operating system directory links opens all localized versions of Firefox for the selected Firefox version and operating system. Mozilla uses language and country codes to list available versions.
The codes en-us, pt-BR, and hu, for example, refer to English-United States, Portuguese Brazil, and Hungarian. While a country’s domain extension is used usually by Mozilla, it is not the case all the time.
The final page lists the download link and the size of the download.
Tip: You can modify the URL of the download page easily to jump directly to specific releases. The URL structure is https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/60.0/win64/en-US/.
Simply change the following directories:
- version: 60.0
- platform: win64
- language code: en-US
While you can download full versions of the Firefox web browser from third-party download portals as well, there is no need to do so unless you want to download a portable version of Firefox.
Closing Words
Mozilla pushes the stub installer on its website and it may be the better solution for most users interested in downloading the web browser and for Mozilla. Users who prefer to download the full version of Firefox instead can do so as well and as long as the option is provided, there is nothing wrong with offering a stub downloaded by default.
Now You: Which version of Firefox do you download, and why?

Firefox custom MSI options
Set a directory path — INSTALL_DIRECTORY_PATH=
Absolute path specifying the complete install location. This directory does not need to exist already (but it can).
If INSTALL_DIRECTORY_NAME is set, then this setting will be ignored.
Set a directory name — INSTALL_DIRECTORY_NAME=
Name of the installation directory to create within Program Files. For example, if INSTALL_DIRECTORY_NAME is set to Firefox Release, then the installation path will be something like C:\Program Files\Firefox Release. The Program Files path used will be the correct one for the architecture of the application being installed and the locale/configuration of the machine; this setting is mainly useful to keep you from having to worry about those differences.
If this is set, then INSTALL_DIRECTORY_PATH will be ignored.
Install a taskbar shortcut — TASKBAR_SHORTCUT={true,false}
Set to false to disable pinning a shortcut to the taskbar. true by default. This feature only works on Windows 7 and 8; it isn’t possible to create taskbar pins from the installer on later Windows versions.
Install a desktop shortcut — DESKTOP_SHORTCUT={true,false}
Set to false to disable creating a shortcut on the desktop. true by default.
Install a start menu shortcut — START_MENU_SHORTCUT={true,false}
Set to false to disable creating a Start menu shortcut. true by default.
Disable the maintenance service — INSTALL_MAINTENANCE_SERVICE={true,false}
Set to false to disable installing the Mozilla Maintenance Service. This will effectively prevent users from installing Firefox updates if they do not have write permissions to the installation directory. true by default.
Disable removing distribution directory — REMOVE_DISTRIBUTION_DIR={true,false}
Set to false to disable removing the distribution directory from an existing installation that’s being paved over. By default this is true and the directory is removed.
Prevent rebooting — PREVENT_REBOOT_REQUIRED={true,false}
Set to true to keep the installer from taking actions that would require rebooting the machine to complete, normally because files are in use. This should not be needed under normal circumstances unless you’re paving over a copy of Firefox that was running while the installer was trying to run, and setting this option in that case may result in an incomplete installation. false by default.
Bundle extensions — OPTIONAL_EXTENSIONS={true,false}
Set to false to disable installing any bundled extensions that are present. true by default.
Application files extraction directory — EXTRACT_DIR=
Extract the application files to the given directory and exit without actually running the installer. Of course, this means all other options will be ignored.
MSIEXEC options
The command line parameters for msiexec.exe (the Windows component responsible for installing, uninstalling, and otherwise working with MSI files) are documented here and also by the output of the /? option. Our MSI packages, because they wrap a .exe installer and don’t really use the MSI framework, do not support many of the command line parameters available to msiexec. This document lists the msiexec parameters that are supported and unsupported for use with our MSI packages.
