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 from 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. 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.

EASY PASSWORD MANAGEMENT
Firefox makes password management simple by generating unique passwords and remembering them across devices.

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 favorite search engines.

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

ORGANIZE 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.

SHARE ANYTHING IN A FEW TAPS
Firefox makes it easy to share links to web pages or specific items on a page with easy, quick access to your most recently used apps.

Ratings and reviews

Been using other browser for a long time, but here lately it became slower and slower to the point it would freeze up, I did several things to try and improve it like, clearing search history etc. but it didn't help, so I switched to Firefox and so far it's been absolutely awesome once the search query is typed in and hit the search button it immediately finds exactly what I'm looking for, it's fast, easy to set up, and I love how I can customize it. Firefox is now my default browser.

Overall fair experience, but viewing and saving images via search engines is not mobile friendly, nor particularly convenient. Opening email with links seems to default to the Google app, even though it is, in theory, your default browser. And also, sound quality on some embedded audio players is much lower than on other apps. Overall an adequate app, but I definitely prefer Firefox as my laptop browser, not my mobile browser.

Firefox has been great on Android and very secure. Features like sync are second to none and really helps you keep all of your devices connected. You can quickly delete your browsing history, and the private browsing feature is better than other browser program available! I'd highly recommend that you switch to Firefox on all of your devices. If you're afraid of losing important data on your Chrome browser just do it slowly. Keep Chrome until you're sure that everything you want is in Firefox.
