Firefox Fast & Private Browser

Mozilla

About this app

Get the people-first browser that’s backed by a non-profit.

It’s a new era in tech. Don’t settle for a browser produced by giant, profit driven, data hoarding tech companies. Firefox is the obvious choice for independent, ethical tech that respects your privacy and gives you more ways than ever before to tailor your internet experience exactly the way you want it.

Firefox is backed by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation, whose mission is to ensure the internet remains a global public resource, open and accessible to everyone. When you make Firefox your go-to, everyday browser, you’re also joining a unique (serious nerd cred) community that’s actively helping to diversify the way people experience the internet.

Firefox is extremely private for a reason — and the reason is you.

We want you to have an amazing experience every time you use Firefox. We know feeling safe and secure are foundational for enjoying your time online. Since version 1 in 2004, we’ve taken privacy seriously, because we’ve always been in the business of valuing people first, over everything. When you care more about people than you do about profits, privacy naturally becomes a top priority.

DIFFERENT DEVICES. SAME TRAIN OF THOUGHT.
Now you can search for things on your laptop then pick up the exact same search on your phone and vice versa. Your Firefox homepage displays your most recent searches you’ve done on your other devices so you can easily get back to what you were doing or thinking about.

LIMITED EDITION WALLPAPERS
Introducing limited-edition wallpapers from independent creators. Stick with one you love or switch it up anytime to make your Firefox match your mood.

STREAMLINED HOME SCREEN
Pick up right where you left off. See all your open tabs intuitively grouped and displayed along with your recent bookmarks, top sites and popular articles recommended by Pocket.

GET FIREFOX ON ALL YOUR DEVICES
Add Firefox across your devices for secure, seamless browsing. In addition to synced tabs and searches, Firefox also makes password management easy by remembering your passwords across devices.

PRIVACY CONTROL IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES
Firefox gives you greater privacy protection while you’re on the web. By default, Firefox blocks trackers and scripts such as social media trackers, cross-site cookie trackers, crypto-miners and fingerprinters. Setting Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection to “strict” blocks tracking content in all windows. Also, you can easily choose to search in private browsing mode. And when you close private browsing mode, your browsing history and any cookies are automatically erased from your device.

FIND IT FAST WITH FIREFOX’S SEARCH BAR
Get search suggestions in the search bar and quickly access the sites you visit most. Type in your search question and get suggested and previously searched results across your favourite search engines.

GET ADD-ONS
Full support for the most popular add-ons, including ways to turbo-charge powerful default privacy settings and customise your experience.

ORGANISE YOUR TABS THE WAY YOU LIKE
Create as many tabs as you like without losing track. Firefox displays your open tabs as thumbnails and numbered tabs, making it easy to find what you want quickly.

Ratings and reviews

Works well. This is my main browser. The only problem is some websites refuse to work in Firefox, which is obnoxious. I like the website tracker blocking features. it also allows fine tuned control over my browsing and protections from websites. There are occasional bugs but I haven't seen a browser that doesn't have them. I fix them by refreshing the page or re-opening the browser.

Firefox Android, as of today, is one of the most sophisticated and well-configured browser apps that exist on these phones. It took a while to get here. Thanks for listening to feedback. One of the only issues I still have is the sorting of the Pocket feature. That feature is terrible and has a lot useless stories and articles that are featured. Fix it or get rid of it. Firefox Android has developed into a great app, and I am glad to be a part of it.

This is my primary browser on my phone & tablet, for the most part using Firefox upwards of a decade starting with my PC. I recently started using Firefox as a password manager to allow access to my passwords between devices when Samsung Pass was not an option. Only major gripe I have with the phone app is that you can not go directly to a domain by URL via the address bar anymore, meaning you have to jump through some hoops if where you're trying to go isn't in a search engine...

What's new

* Fixed issues with the address toolbar on devices with foldable screens.
* For consistency with Firefox Desktop and addons.mozilla.org, Firefox Android's "Add-ons" settings have been renamed to "Extensions".
