Mozilla Firefox, alternative Linux à Microsoft Internet Explorer

Mis à jour le

Notre avis

Mozilla Firefox is a solid replacement for Microsoft Internet Explorer on Linux for most users. It handles modern web standards (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript) flawlessly, offers regular security patches, and can import bookmarks and passwords from IE. Users who rely on legacy intranet sites that depend on IE‑only features like ActiveX or proprietary document modes may need additional workarounds, but for everyday browsing, productivity extensions, and cross‑device sync, Firefox meets the requirements well.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Microsoft Internet Explorer

Firefox can import IE's bookmark (favorites) files and saved passwords via its import wizard, but it does not read or export IE's proprietary configuration files (such as .dat cache files). If you need to preserve those, you will have to copy them manually or keep a Windows system for reference.

Passer de Microsoft Internet Explorer à Mozilla Firefox, étape par étape

  1. Install Firefox from your distribution's package manager.
  2. Run Firefox and use the 'Import from Internet Explorer' option to bring over bookmarks and passwords.
  3. Check critical internal sites for functionality; use the 'Compatibility View' add‑on or configure user‑agent overrides if needed.
  4. Install any productivity extensions you relied on in IE.
  5. Enable Firefox Sync if you want cross‑platform bookmark and password syncing.

Questions fréquentes

Will Firefox display old intranet pages that required IE?

Often, but pages that depend on ActiveX or IE‑only document modes will need workarounds like user‑agent spoofing or a virtual Windows environment.

Can I import my saved passwords from IE?

Yes, Firefox’s import wizard can pull passwords stored in Windows Credential Manager when run under Wine or on a Windows partition.

Is there a way to run IE-specific plugins in Firefox?

No native support; you would need to run IE inside a Windows VM or use tools like IE Tab in Chrome, which Firefox does not provide.
