Not all popular browser flavors are created equal.
With the transition to the new engine, Firefox is much faster and more economical than before. It is likely that you will want to try it out. However, there are currently several versions of this browser. Let's figure out which one is worth choosing.
1. Firefox Quantum
The standard version of Firefox that most users use. Do not be confused by the word Quantum in the title - this is the new name of the browser given by the developers after a big update at the end of 2017. Thanks to these improvements, the program was able to catch up with Chrome in terms of speed and consumption of system resources.
2. Firefox Nightly
Firefox Nightly is for active users who want to participate in testing new features. Here they appear long before they are presented in the main version of the browser.
At the same time, you need to be prepared for possible errors or unstable work of this version of the program. Therefore, we do not recommend using Firefox Nightly as your main browser.
3. Firefox Beta
Firefox Beta is a trade-off between new features and browser stability. Before getting into beta, all changes have already been tested in early builds. Therefore, one can hope that they will not cause harm.
Please note that this version is also a test version. With the help of it, developers collect extensive information about the use of the browser. And if privacy is important to you, then Firefox Beta is not the best choice.
4. Firefox Developer Edition
The purpose of this browser is clearly indicated in the name - this is a tool for developers. This is why Firefox Developer Edition has many built-in features and tools that make web development easier.
It has a JavaScript debugger, CSS Grid renderer, style editor, font details, and more. First of all, this browser is a working tool, therefore it does not contain any functions that may threaten its stability and reliability.
5. Firefox Extended Support Release
Firefox ESR is designed for organizations, schools, businesses. This version is worth choosing if you need to maintain the uninterrupted operation of many computers with Internet access.
The browser is updated much less frequently so as not to create problems with staff retraining and compatibility with other software. But at the same time, Firefox ESR receives all the latest security fixes and patches.
