I am trying to download Mozilla Firefox unsuccessfully into my Mac Mini. Have used Google for many years and am tired of them trying to get me to accept cookies. They even have made it difficult for me to get past the popups that appear almost every day . . . sometimes making it necessary for me to boot in order to continue. Apparently the Mozilla Firefox people have a policy of not having any contact with the public (I have tried unsuccessfully) . . . as so many other companies now do. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can complete this download?
Thanks, I would appreciate any help.
I did a search for "Foxfire." Near the top of the list I found "Foxfire Browser," with a source of Mozilla.com. Click on the link and follow the directions (press download). If this doesn't solve your problem, please provide more detailed information for us to give better direction.

Maybe you should have directed the OP to search for FIREFOX instead of FOXFIRE?

I never have had any luck with Fire fox on my Macs, I use Safari without a problem.
I have no issue with Firefox on any of my Macs or iPads. If I do anything financial, I use Firefox due to its security and general acceptance. For general browsing I use Safari because it is faster. Not sure why you are having a problem.
I've used Firefox for years on my Mac Minis, both an Intel model and the current M1 version that I've had for about 15 months, and never had any problem downloading, installing or updating it. FWIW, I do NOT update to a new Mac OS for at least several months (and sometimes longer) after it has been released, having been burned on my first Mac that I upgraded to a just-released version (I think it was Mavericks) almost immediately after buying it, and finding it didn't have drivers for my printers (yet.) Don't know if that has had any effect on my successful use of Firefox.
BTW, I switched to Firefox after Safari began to delete a folder of bookmarks that I had created and kept in my bookmarks toolbar. It was always the same folder, and never any other. It was a folder that had a lot of bookmarks in it, a few of which I needed to use regularly as part of my online business.
I learned how to go into Time Machine and restore the folder to the Safari tool bar, where it would stay for a few days or a few weeks before disappearing again. But I got tired of the hassle, and just went to Firefox, which I had used for many years on my Windows boxes before switching to the Mac in ~2011. It has functioned without problem on the Minis for several years. I do update it regularly, when I get a notice that a new update is available.
