Hi

Firefox is a web browser that you can use to navigate to and make use of the two services you mention. Firefox itself is not an office suite like LibreOffice, Microsoft Office or Google Docs.

Would LibreOffice be a good back up for MS word/spreadsheets and Gdocs?

THANKS!

Hi

LibreOffice is an open source equivalent to MS Office and Google Docs that sits on your computer, rather than being a "cloud" based web service. You can use it to open and work on files that have been created in MS Office.

LibreOffice has a online version. There is a website http://www.offidocs.com that provides LibreOffice Online to create and edit excel online, word online and powerpoint online documents.

I am not sure that site is associated with LibreOffice other than the fact it uses their software. I did not see any privacy agreement or anything on the site. I certainly not try to use it for anything at all confidential.
