Firefox Send is an application developed by Firefox to send large files. It can be used to send files up to 1GB. If you become a member, it is possible to send files up to 2.5GB.

To use the service, the sender visits the Firefox website, uploads the files, and sets an expiration time. You can also choose to protect the files with a password before sending.

Firefox then provides a link that you can give to the recipient, which they click to start the download.

Firefox was once the best web browser. However, over the years, its market share had declined with the growth of built-in options from larger tech companies like IE, Safari, and Chrome.

File sharing started as an experiment in 2017, as part of Firefox's discontinued Test Pilot program. Since then, it has weakened during the beta period, gained a few features over time, but mostly remained in the shadows.
