A curated list of resources for and about Mozilla Firefox (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/products/) - a bloated 
(http://blog.ffextensionguru.com/2015/06/20/mozilla-making-firefox-bloated/) but versatile popular modern browser with nice user interface. Unfortunately, after Firefox 42 Mozilla has 
instituted unwelcome changes in how addons work entering the already familiar territory of "walled gardens". Please see the forks (#firefox-clonesforks) chapter to review your alternatives.
