About this app

Get the browser that prioritizes people over profits

It’s a new era in tech. Don’t settle for a browser made by unethical, profit-driven, data-hoarding companies. By choosing Firefox, you support the non-profit Mozilla Foundation whose mission is to build a better internet — one that puts individual and public benefit over commercial profit.

What Firefox offers:

✔ PRIVACY-FOCUSED BROWSING
• Automatic tracker blocking — By default, Firefox blocks trackers and scripts such as social media trackers, cross-site cookie trackers, crypto-miners and fingerprinters.
• Enhanced tracking protection — Choose the “strict” setting and get even more privacy protections.
• Private browsing mode — When you close private mode, your browsing history is automatically erased from your device.

✔ EASY-TO-USE TABS
• Find what you want quickly — create as many tabs as you like without losing track.
• See your open tabs as thumbnails or a list view.
• See tabs from your phone on your desktop and vice versa — or choose to keep them separate.

✔ PASSWORD MANAGEMENT
• Log into sites easily — Firefox remembers your passwords across devices.
• Firefox suggests passwords for new log-ins and stores them securely.

✔ LIGHTNING-FAST PAGE LOADS
• Enhanced Tracking Protection automatically blocks online trackers from following you around the web and slowing down your pages.

✔ TAILORED SEARCH OPTIONS
• Get suggestions and previously searched results in the search bar so you can quickly access the sites you visit most.
• Move the search bar location from the top to the bottom of the screen, making it easier to use with one hand.
• Use the Firefox search widget to search the web directly from your device’s home screen.
• See the recent searches you’ve done on other devices for seamless searching across mobile, desktop and more.

✔ CUSTOMIZE YOUR FIREFOX EXPERIENCE
• Get helpful add-on extensions, including ways to block ads, block certain webpages, turbo-charge privacy settings and more.

✔ FIREFOX HOME SCREEN
• Access your recent bookmarks, top sites and see popular articles from across the internet, recommended by Pocket, which is part of Mozilla.

✔ SAVE BATTERY WITH DARK MODE
Switch to dark mode any time, reducing eye strain and prolonging your battery power.

✔ WATCH VIDEOS WHILE YOU MULTITASK
• Pop videos out of their webpages or players and pin them to the top of your phone’s screen to watch while you surf the web and do other things.

✔ SHARE ANYTHING IN A FEW TAPS

Ratings and reviews

It's an amazing browser, the extensions are absolute life-savers and it's extremely easy to use. The only problem I have is that whenever I try to watch a video on full screen, it goes back to the normal size. The video doesn't stop or anything, it just exits full screen mode. Already tried clearing cache and cookies, turning my extensions off or disabling picture-in-picture in the settings, nothing worked tough. Still, if you won't be watching videos on it, then I can't recommend it enough

I really like that this browser is privacy-minded and that you can add so many cool extensions like adblock, night mode, etc. But there's just one thing that really bothers me: Installing Progressive Web Apps is apparently no longer supported, since I do not see the "Install" option in the menu. I need to resort to Chrome for that, unfortunately. Also, I wish it would offer to automatically translate websites that are in a foreign language like many browsers do nowadays.

I've been using this browser for years. I've had some problems with it in the past but they got solved. The biggest problem. I have right now is how laggy the videos got few months ago with one of the updates. Skipping few seconds, changing quality or muting were helping but nowadays it fixes the issue only for few minutes and that's it. Watching videos on this browser is just making my eyes hurt now. I really don't wanna switch browsers just because of that..
