Mozilla Security

In addition to Cookies necessary for this site to function, we’d like your permission to set some additional Cookies to better understand your browsing needs and improve your experience. Rest assured — we value your privacy.
Whether you’re using the Web or checking your email, you care about your security and privacy. At Mozilla we understand the importance of security. Here you will find alerts and announcements on security and privacy issues, general tips for surfing the Web and using email more securely, more information about how we maintain and enhance the security of our products, and useful links for developers.
The latest security updates will be delivered to most users automatically. Users who have turned off automatic updates can use the "Check for Updates..." item on the Help menu. If the menu item is disabled your account does not have sufficient privileges to update Firefox--contact the person who installed Firefox on your machine. Additional help is also available through our Community Support site.
