Is there any User's Guide to Firefox, like the one in document (example) I search for article that covers main features of browser, in short and descriptiove manner. It should cover all popular OSs like: Windows 7, Windows 10, Linux, iOS

The thing is that current article is a bit outdated, and it doesn't cover different platforms (example) : https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/tackling-firefox-the-unofficial-manual/

I don't think that such a document is possible. There are changes with each Firefox version, so maintaining such an article is impossible. The SUMO knowledge base uses special {show for} selectors to present a version for your Firefox version is you use a supported Firefox version and articles are usually updated for newer Firefox versions (Beta is supported in a lot of cases and ESR as well). You will have to search the knowledge base to find an article about subjects you are interested in.

Hello pciapa1,

Have you seen this yet :

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/get-started-firefox-overview-main-features  ?

And it applies to Windows, Mac OS and Linux ......

Hi McCoy, surely, saw this one earlier. Looks like a very short version of what I wanted. It doesn't covers all basec things, and few platforms.

Even if it had have all links to all other sections, it won't be different from the list of materials.

I'm looking for something concise and handy, and probably in one document ) I don't really think that would be possible, but still...

Look on the bright side :

Anything you may have questions about, which that article doesn't cover, you can ask here ......

You may not always get the answer(s) you're looking for from me - but there are some very smart fellow contributors out there .....

But seriously : What you are looking for sounds like something that might come in handy - maybe you'd like to submit that as a suggestion here :
