TIP OF THE WEEK: Looking for even more security while you browse? Try the HTTPS-Only Mode! The HTTPS-Only Mode forces all connections to websites to use a secure encrypted connection called HTTPS. Most websites already support HTTPS; some support both HTTP and HTTPS. Enabling this mode guarantees that all of your connections to websites are upgraded to use HTTPS and hence secure.

I drank the Kool Aid years ago. I have every app under the sun.
I have some, but I'm hardly not addicted.
I only have some for work
I steer clear of it. I'm off the grid!

TIP OF THE WEEK: DARK MODE Nowadays, almost every app offers a dark mode, and Firefox is no exception. You can quickly switch between light and dark modes on the browser. HOW TO DO IT: Click the menu button in the top right corner of your screen. Scroll down and select Settings Make sure you click General on the left side menu. Scroll down and, under Language and Appearance, select the color you want to use. You can click on Light, Dark, and Automatic if you want Firefox to match your computer settings. Keep in mind that doing this will change Firefox's appearance, but it'll also change the color of any website that supports dark mode.
