After Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox is the browser that is used to search for things on the web. Many people love to browse Mozilla Firefox more than Google Chrome. It does not store any other search information so the browser consumes less memory space. If you want to check any site or activity in two different browsers then Mozilla firefox can be an alternative.

If you want to try any other browser try Mozilla Firefox to install it on your device. It will offer a comfortable and fast browsing experience. Check the privacy and security setting for safe and secure browsing. Configure the installation process and start using it.

Checklist For Mozilla Firefox Browser Setting 

Here in this blog, we are guiding you about the important steps you should do after configuring the installation process of Mozilla Firefox. Some setting options are advanced and some are basic.

Set the privacy and security settings. 

Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > History.

You can set clearing history. What do you want to do when closing firefox and what do you want to clear from browsing history?

• Browsing & Download History
• Cookies
• Active Logins
• Cache
• Form & Search History
• Offline website data 

Check-in the box of browsing & download history, offline website data, cache, form & search history.

Whenever a new user tries to access your phone he won’t track what you have searched or what activities you have performed on the browser.

To configure Homepage Settings do as follows:

You should also set the settings for the home page tab. How the tab contents will be displayed on the Home Page. Although it’s all not that important to set up now you can proceed with other important settings options. 

To save your time it is important to modify and set the right path for the homepage display window and tabs. When you open the browser how will things roll out in front of you?

Settings > Home >New Windows and Tabs > set any custom page URL or bookmarks or URL or current opened page.

It is the setting option that you want to manage for your homepage elements(windows/ tabs). Some want to see Gmail. Some want to see docs, some want to see youtube you can prefer what you want to see when it’s open. It will save you time.

Select Search Engine for Mozilla Firefox

After the previous two basic setting modifications, you should configure the search engine set by default. It is set on google but you can set other options from the list.

Go to Settings> Search > Default Search Engine If you don’t find the one you want to set as a search engine then add one in the list and configure it.

Another way to manage the search engine setting is- 

open the homepage of the search engine > go to the address bar and right-click > select the adding option indicated by the arrow > you will see the new search engine option that you can search as default.

Configure Downloads Settings

Once the installation is done of Mozilla Firefox you should move to settings of Native browser. It will take a little while. In this section, you need to configure your native location for downloads. 

You can set it on default or whatever you want to choose.

Go to settings of browser > then General setting > Files and Applications browse the path you would like to choose for downloads.

If you want to save your downloads to another location then you need to modify the settings otherwise, it will by default be set to downloads, and you don’t need to do anything. But it will be good if you first check if it is set on default(download) location or other.

Autoplay Setting

You can also modify the settings for autoplay on different websites. Imagine you have typed the URL of the website that contains the audio and video content and it automatically plays on it. It would be surprising if you are in a group or meeting. It will create a disturbance so manage it. Also, it consumes internet data. You can block it or do other settings.

Go to Settings> Privacy & Security > Permissions > Autoplay

To block the audio and video autoplay, choose the option of Block Audio & Video from the dialog box. You can restrict sharing the usage data for the uncheck all options.

Addon and Extensions

Many extensions and add-ons are available for different browsers that serve different purposes. I have installed the extensions, for form autofill field, grammar check-ins, spell check, ad blockers, InFormentor+, Login management, etc. It saves a lot of time and makes things manageable.

You can directly visit the website or search extension sections and install them for a better browsing experience.

With a grammar check & spell check extension you won’t be mistaken in writing documents or while sending an email to our boss or clients. 

While we search on the web we log to different websites and accounts. We use different credentials. It is hard to remember all the things. You can manage your credentials by installing extensions.

Ad Blockers extensions block the unnecessary ads displayed on different sites and create disturbance. It also restricts the usage of data or virus events.

You can use the extensions as per your preference. It will make things quicker, easier and smart. Extensions are developed to make the user experience comfortable. It contains the space so install what is most essential to you. You can also explore plugins for a better browser experience.

Customize Themes

You can customize the browser themes and make the browser look attractive. You can choose the one as per your personal taste and preferences. It will be fun to do that. You can find the themes in the setting and theme section. Many theme options are available out there. If you don’t find the one then type what kind of theme you are looking for.

We hope you like this guide and have a great browser experience on Mozilla Firefox like the Google Chrome browser.
