“As of today, Firefox desktop is the first major browser to become available in the Windows Store for Windows 10 and Windows 11 users,” said Mozilla in a blog post.

Before this, if you wanted to download Firefox on Windows, you needed to use an existing web browser to go to Firefox’s website. Mozilla called this a “clunky process from Microsoft,” but thankfully, you won’t have to deal with that anymore.

Mozilla said, “Now that Microsoft has changed their policies, we are finally able to ship Firefox with our industry-leading Gecko engine in the Windows Store. This lets us make your experience of the web joyful, safe, private, and fast with unique features.”
