No, firmware is just software stored in read only memory(ROM) and must be fetched and executed by the central processing unit (CPU) like any other software. Firmware has the advantage that it will always be loaded on the computer even after power was turned off and back on, but has the disadvantage that it cannot be updated or corrected when problems are found because ROM cannot be written to.

A device driver is software that allows the operating system to communicate with hardware devices. While drivers can be stored in firmware, they are often installed on the operating system itself and can be updated independently. Firmware typically refers to low-level software programmed into hardware components, while device drivers serve as a bridge between the OS and the hardware. Therefore, not all device drivers are embedded in firmware, but some can be part of it.
