Besides Windows, Mac, and Linux, does Firefox support any other OS, like OpenBSD?

Firefox Installation and updates

Curiously, I haven't yet seen a simple link for users using a different OS (i.e. neither Windows nor Mac nor Linux) to natively download Firefox (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/). Is Firefox well supported in other OSes, like OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, and any other? Thanks.

hi, other platforms aren't directly supported by mozilla: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Supported_build_configurations

I see. And what about natively installing Firefox into one of tier-3 platforms?

You can do a Google search for firefox+OpenBSD to see if there is third-party support available for a specific platform

Have you figured out which third-party distributor is trustworthy, reliable, and safe to install Firefox from?

What about building from the source code of Firefox?
