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

There are small things that make the phone version of Firefox inconvenient to use. Google searches an image , and you can't click on it. or download it . I tried all other browsers, and they all can do it. Lately, most updates breaks or limits functions. I find it unreliable and inconvenient and cosmetic bugs . I am switching to edge or brave for now .

Current version is completed broken. Bug city with full screen video bugs that cause multiple issues, random pull to refresh even when in the middle of a page, scrolling breaks and worst of all the password manager no longer works at all. Forced startpage and our right to choose our own is give forever. It never fails. Update notes are not current or complete . Unwanted gesture controls,no options to turn them off. Many pages won't work with it anymore. No about: config with the main version 🤦‍

Use this as my main as I have no desire to use chrome. Works fine I guess except that there's no way to stop it from auto playing videos. "but there's a setting specifically for that in the options menu" yup, I have it set to "block audio and video" yet everytime I go to read a news story which either has an embedded video related to the story, or just an ad it starts playing regardless. I can only imagine how this would chew through my mobile data if i was viewing said pages away from wi-fi.
