Firefox Fast & Private Browser

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

An *almost* ideal browser that is unfortunately marred by one glaring flaw: You can't set a custom homepage URL. Instead, you are forced to use the browser's own cluttered homepage. I knocked off two stars for this because I truly don't understand how such a basic feature that has existed since the 90s has been left out of an otherwise feature-complete browser. Devs, please, PLEASE fix this.

switched from chrome to ff on both my computer and my phone recently. no issues at all: my only gripe is that the ui could use a LITTLE bit of work, especially on mobile, but it's no biggie, although i'd like to customize the page the home button sends me to (all tutorials i've found seem dated). BUT for the security AND the fact that you can have adblock + other addons/extensions on mobile, which chrome never let me do, it's absolutely worth it. no regrets ✅

I tried using this for a couple years and I'm finally sick of all the bugs and went back to Chrome. The browser loads so much slower, the auto fill never works properly or even prompts when filling out saved fields sometimes, and the most annoying thing is how often the browser is unresponsive to touch input so I can't click on buttons or scroll a page. It might have better privacy but it doesn't matter if I l can't even browse the website.
