Since then our community of users - past and current - has grown to thousands of people and continues to shape who we are today. The non-profit took the opportunity to thank its users who have given feedback, tested beta releases, and continued to use Firefox over the years.
Meanwhile, iOS gets clutter-free tabs and history plus new wallpapers later this week.Īfter first announcing Firefox 1.0 back in 2004, Mozilla arrived at its 100th build of the browser 18 years later.

Why take an extra step every time you want to open a file or send an email in Firefox if you don’t have to? By setting your default apps and actions, you can save yourself a bit of time.Mozilla is celebrating the 100th version of its Firefox browser today with the new launch for both Mac and iOS (PC, Linux, and Android too). Open Firefox and its Settings to get started.ġ) Open Firefox and tap the menu icon on the bottom right to view Settings.Ģ) Choose Mail App and pick the default email application you want to use.ģ) Tap Settings to exit and Done to close the Settings. In Firefox on iPhone and iPad, you can currently make only a one adjustment which is the default email app.
For example, you can pick Adobe Acrobat Reader for PDF files if you have it installed. Then, select the app installed on your Mac that you want to use for that item. If you don’t see the app you want to use in the list and there is no macOS default, click Use other.
This is handy for plain text to open in Text Edit and ZIP files to open with Archive Utility, for instance.
You can also choose to use your macOS default application for that type of content. The apps you see in the list depend on the content type. On the other hand, if you always want the link to an email address, ZIP file, or PDF to open with a specific app, just select that in the Action column next to the content type.įor example, for “mailto” (links to an email address), you can pick from Mail, Yahoo! Mail, or Gmail. If you choose to save the file automatically, just make sure you always want that action for the content type. Like with an image, sometimes you might want to open it in Preview, but other times you may want to open it directly in your image editing tool. The first action is ideal if you don’t always do the same thing or use the same app for that content. You can instruct Firefox to Always ask what to do with the item or Save the file.
Next to each Content Type are the Actions available. If you prefer to take an action instead of opening an app, you have that option too. This includes things like plain text documents, PDFs, images, and the default email application. This is where you’ll choose the apps or actions you want to use for each content type. Then follow the steps below to change the default apps.ġ) Either click Firefox > Preferences from the menu bar or use the menu button and pick Preferences.Ģ) In your Firefox Preferences, select General on the left side.ģ) Scroll down to Files and Applications.Ĥ) You’ll see a section for Applications. Next, head to the Firefox Preferences either from the menu bar or using the menu button on the top right in Firefox. 3) Default apps on iOS Change default apps and actions in Firefox
