Firefox is a popular, open-source web browser.
Installation
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
Alternatives
The Alpine packages does not disable most telemetry and similar tracking shipped by upstream. Consider using librewolf, a privacy-centric fork which disables Mozilla's first-party spyware and analytics:
# apk add librewolf
Stability
If tabs crash, then try disabling hardware acceleration, in the Preferences - Performance menu.
Notifications
For Firefox to use native notifications (e.g.: via a notification daemon) the libnotify package is required.
