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'm getting frustrated with Firefox. I've been waiting for a while for features like importing and exporting bookmarks, and full extension access, just like on my computer. Lately, the browser has been really slow, even when my Wi-Fi is working perfectly. I tried the same websites on other browsers, and they loaded just fine. Fix it ASAP

FF has been my personal browser since Netscape days. It's a reliable partner for those that need to balance security and ease of use. Throughout the years it's been pokey at times, had UI issues, but the android app as of late goes from strength to strength. Chrome is quick, good for work, but it's a browser owned by the blob. I'll trust personal data to FF. Browsers come and go, most if not all built on Chrome - even Brave has/had issues. Pleased to support this browser, extensions, devs

I love this app, and it is my default and go-to web browser. Yet it is baffling to me that up to this point, the undo feature to open accidentally closed inactive tabs is just subpar. For example, the time to undo the accidentally closed inactive tabs is super small, the undo feature dissapears as soon as I move to another tab, and by the time the undo button dissapears, I can't simply reopen the accidentally closed tab in History. I really wish these issues can be solved in a future update.

What's new

- Desktop mode browsing is now enabled by default for large devices. This can be controlled via a preference under Settings in "Site settings" previously named "Site permissions".
- Text copied to the clipboard in Private Browsing mode is now treated as sensitive content. On Android 13 and later, clipboard notifications are masked for added privacy.
