Firefox Fast & Private Browser

Mozilla

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'd love to give it a higher rating but the amount of crashes takes away from the entire experience of using the browser. It not only crashes but then causes my system UI to crash 50% of the time too. If not for the ad blocker extensions I would not even use it at all. I've updated and reinstalled but it crashes more now then ever before. It freezes up for so long I'm forced to restart my device which combined with the freeze/crash will eat up about 5-7 minutes per crash.

Recently it has been crashing hard. It'll slow down my phone and everything is sluggish. Then it crashes and on restart it loses all the tabs and changes and reverts to a previous state of open tabs. File download was also not working. Had to resort to using Chrome. And some websites still do not render correctly needing to use Chrome. Seems like some big bugs/regressions introduced. Unreliable.

downloaded so i could have all the extensions i have in my browser but on my phone - privacy badger, ublock, decentraleyes, etc. thrilled to have that as an option here, made me ditch my old opera app because the in built ad blocker wasn't good enough. however, every time i full screen a video, the app pretty much crashes (oneplus nord n30). this is really annoying, please fix it. when you do, you'll get 5 stars from me
