After Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Yandex, another popular web browser made its entry into Micorsoft Store on Windows 11. Firefox seems to have landed but may have been pulled by Mozilla at the last minute after discovering some bugs. Currently, Firefox is not available for download.

5. When you open Firefox about Window, it shows “Windows MSIX Package, Mozilla -MSIX -x.”
