While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated.
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.
What a stupid try to make it sound interesting. "There's a catch"... No, there is no catch. You have a choice when installing to make your browser the default browser - just like any other browser asks you. sigh You get so tired of people writing like this...
But good for Firefox... It deserves more visibility.
Windows be like: "We saved you from setting Edge as your default browser bro." after an update. It's not a catch apparently.
What they're describing sounds different - not sure if it's just a misunderstanding or something?
However, the site preselects the “Set Firefox as default browser” option during download. This means you might see prompts to make Firefox your default browser upon installation. To avoid this, simply uncheck the option on Firefox.com before downloading.
I can't replicate being given the choice on the site itself when downloading
