Mozilla Firefox, or simply Firefox, is a free and open-source web browser developed by the Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation. It uses the Gecko rendering engine to display web pages, which implements current and anticipated web standards. The software is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, with unofficial ports for other platforms, as well as a mobile version for Android (see Firefox for Android) and iOS.

The site and community who maintained it were also known as the Open Directory Project (ODP). It was owned by AOL (now a part of Yahoo! Inc) but constructed and maintained by a community of volunteer editors.
