Mozilla Firefox is the default web browser for many Linux distros since it's fully open source, there are also several AUR (Arch User Repository) packages for different versions of Firefox for Arch based Linux. To install them is quite easy, either install with pacman directly or using AUR helpers like yay.

Installing Firefox from AUR also installs the following required libraries and packages as dependencies:
