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 you’ve done on 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. Setting Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection to “strict” blocks tracking content in all windows. 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.

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 favourite search engines.

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

ORGANISE 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.

Ratings and reviews

My only complaint is that there is no way to manually sort your bookmarks within a folder, they just show up in the order that they were originally bookmarked. It's such a basic feature that has been included in every other web browser that I've ever used. Even Internet Explorer on my parents' first Windows 98 PC gave you the option to do that. If it wasn't for that missing feature I would give this app five stars without any hesitation.

Recently stopped working. Links won't load and now won't refresh pages until the app is shut down and restarted. Utter garbage. Update: They've now added a pointless and annoying selected text magnifier that can't be switched off. It's intrusive and unwanted. If Mozilla is trying to drive users away from Firefox they're going the right way about it.

Runs EXTREMELY slow on my phone and sometimes pages dont even load and i can't refresh my page. I have to close the app and open it again to get it to work. I also think being able to zoom into pictures when looking at images or downloading the photos from the search engine instead of visiting the webpage would be very convenient.

What's new

-You can now save web pages as PDF files to conveniently access them later from your Downloads folder
-You can now organize your tabs in the tabs tray by long-pressing on a tab
-Open all bookmarks in a folder in tabs, new, or private tabs
-The 2x1 configuration for the search widget the voice search icon will be displayed. Previously it was clipped on some devices
-Improved frame scheduling when under load; this substantially improves Firefox’s MotionMark scores
