Tip: You can add Firefox to your dock for easy access. Do not run Firefox directly from the Firefox.dmg file or drag the icon directly to your desktop to install, as this can result in issues such as lost data and settings. Drag the Firefox icon on top of the Applications folder in order to copy it there.Ĭomplete the steps above before running Firefox. Once the download has completed, the file (Firefox.dmg) may open by itself and pop open a Finder window containing the Firefox application.
It will automatically detect the platform and language on your computer and recommend the best version of Firefox for you.
Firefox 84 and higher versions will run natively (not under emulation).
Firefox 83 runs on new Apple Silicon devices by way of Apple's Rosetta 2 emulation software and thus performance speeds may suffer. Note: Firefox version 83 and higher support both Intel-based Macs (x86 architecture) and Apple devices with the new ARM-based CPU ( Apple Silicon).
