Firefox is a popular, open-source web browser.

To install Firefox, firstly enable the Community repository, then type in the terminal:

For the Extended Support Release (ESR) (firefox-esr):

# apk add firefox-esr

For the current release (firefox):

# apk add firefox

If tabs crash, then try disabling hardware acceleration, in the Preferences - Performance menu.

For Firefox to use native notifications (e.g.: via a notification daemon) the libnotify package is required.
