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
• Share links to web pages or specific items on a page with easy, quick access to your most recently used apps.

Ratings and reviews

I've been trying to find a fault with Firefox since I originally downloaded the app. The fact is that I am not the authority on web browsers either. But through my own experiences with the ones that I have used, Firefox is the only one that has displayed NO side effects and has been able to go toe to toe with all of it's competitors. I am going to cut short of slander, and defamation of character by not naming the others but I have ran MS Windows almost exclusively if you want an idea of one!

It's not the best browser performance-wise, but it's way better than Chrome. Firefox has excellent privacy and security features. It supports extensions on Android. The default Firefox browser homepage is a hot mess compared with every other browser out there. The order in which shortcuts and bookmarks appear is so random. It lacks polish. You can't organize or pin anything. It's jammed full of sponsored content. It's annoying to use and the biggest hurdle in Firefox being a decent browser.

Your link to restore the ability to PDF a page does not work as claimed with the link you sent me to. It doesn't work as stated. When tapping on the 3 dots you do get the share icon but no save PDF box appears at the bottom. Would you please restore the PDF feature? While your at it how about placing the search bar back to the top of the page? Also when one long presses the address bar it should illicit the clip tray. Your browser has no way to get the clip tray to pop up. Please improve this.

What's new

Fixed battery usage reporting in Firefox for Android: Firefox no longer triggers a bug in Android 14 which was causing Android to report massively inflated battery usage on certain devices when Firefox was not running. You may need to restart your phone for the fix to take effect.
