About this app

Get Firefox so your passwords, browsing history and ad blocker extensions — and the privacy and security you rely on.

What Firefox offers:

✔ A PRIVACY-FOCUSED FAST BROWSER
• 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 as an incognito browser and get even more privacy protections with an ad blocker.
• Customize your search engine — Set your favorite private search engine as the default for convenient browsing.
• Ad blocker extensions — choose your favorite ad blocker extension to eliminate unwanted pop-ups and ads.
• Private browser mode — Search in a private tab, and your browsing history is automatically deleted from your device when you close Firefox.


✔ EASY-TO-USE TABS
• Find what you want with your search engine 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 web browser and vice versa when you sync to your Mozilla account.

✔ PASSWORD MANAGEMENT
• Log into sites easily — Firefox remembers your passwords across devices when you sync to your Mozilla account.
• Firefox suggests passwords for new log-ins and stores them securely.

✔ FAST BROWSER

✔ TAILORED SEARCH ENGINE OPTIONS

BILLIONAIRE FREE FOR 20+ YEARS
The Firefox browser was created in 2004 by Mozilla as a faster, more private browser with more customizable features than web browsers like Internet Explorer. Today, we are still not-for-profit, still not owned by any billionaires and still working to make the internet — and the time you spend on it — better.

Ratings and reviews

This is the only mobile browser to support some of the most-used plugins, but what it desperately needs is bookmark reorganization without needing to sync to other devices. I don't want the same bookmarks on my phone as my PC. I also find that, on rare occasions, during updates, my bookmarks will get scrambled into a random order. It's concerning that none of this was addressed and that a feedback link I was given as a response to my review here was one that doesn't work.

Recent patch major flaws: 1) I can't open the gear on YouTube videos (quality, speed, etc. settings). Pressing the gear on a YT video puts a low opacity black cover over the whole app window and changes the URL to end in "#bottom-sheet". Please fix ASAP, my productivity is plummeting since I can't 2x speed everything. 2) Opening YT videos / any reddit post causes a pop-up to lock your screen until you close it. The pop-up says "would you like to open in app?". This doesn't happen in Chrome.

I switched from Opera to Firefox to get away from annoying pop-ups advertising built-in AI slop. Firefox has been fine in this regard for a couple of months, but today it asked me for a Google Play review with a popup over a new tab. Not cool. One time is already too many, but if it happens again, I might switch browsers.
