Is Firefox the same on Mac and Windows?

Hi,

I work for a company with a wide client base, I am currently building support material for clients that require navigational support with their browsers. In the past there have been nuances between the windows and Mac versions, is this still the case? For preference changes can all clients be directed to use the menu option at the top right?

Thanks so much,

There are minor UX differences between Windows, Mac and Linux.

Firefox follows platform conventions familiar to your users:

  • Windows: "Options"
  • Mac: "Preferences"

The following support article adapts to your detected OS. If you need instructions for a different OS, open Editing Tools in the left sidebar and choose the OS there.
