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

I love this app, and it is my default and go-to web browser. Yet it is baffling to me that up to this point, the undo feature to open accidentally closed inactive tabs is just subpar. For example, the time to undo the accidentally closed inactive tabs is super small, the undo feature dissapears as soon as I move to another tab, and by the time the undo button dissapears, I can't simply reopen the accidentally closed tab in History. I really wish these issues can be solved in a future update.

I'll never use another Chromium based browser again. Firefox add-ons (Privacy Badger, NoScript, and Ad-Guard) in conjunction with a VPN are able to block almost all advertising and tracking. I scored 99-100% on pretty much every ad blocking test, and my browsing has almost no ads either. Firefox is truly one of the last "free" browsers. It's intuitive to use, and I like the cross device features, which make saving passwords and bookmarks across multiple devices / OS's easy.

I've used Firefox on computers from nearly its beginning, then on phones. I can't stand other browsers & their frenetic intrusiveness -- or their using me as a product to sell. I love that Mozilla Firefox is non-profit & darn good. Google is unavoidable, but I avoid it all I can on principle. For varied reasons I drifted from Thunderbird email; I'm very happy Mozilla emailed me that a new Thunderbird is flying. I'll be setting it up this weekend & saying goodbye to GMail. Thank you, Mozilla Lou

What's new

- For new users, the address bar's default position has moved from the bottom of the screen to the top. The "Customize > Toolbar" setting can be used to move the toolbar back to the bottom.
- Firefox now uses resizes-visual as the default value of the interactive-widget property of the viewport element. This results in a more usable layout on many pages.
