Description
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

1 ★ Current Major Bugs: these showed up within the last 5 or so updates. -Phone status bar+face buttons stay on screen even when watching full screen video. -YT playlists don't work unless you stay on the playlist tab. -Can't scroll past the first load of any YT playlist. Edit: YT playlists sometimes don't soft-crash and can go to the next video when it's not the focus tab. It just takes 20+ seconds of the video being done to go to the next one.
1 ★ I'm changing from 5 stars to 3. The app will sometimes exit when I switch to fullscreen when watching a video. And recently it'll close out about once every 20 to 30 minutes while watching a video in fullscreen. I've reported the first problem to the devs twice, with nothing being done. edit: 13 days later and it's STILL not fixed! edit 2: Says they fixed the crashing, but it still happens. Changed to 1 star.
1 ★ Went back to using it after many updates. We'll, for a while now it won't remeber my last session. I'll open some tabs of some searches. Close the browser. When open it again it will start on a much older session. And everything I've open recently gone. Which is extremely frustrating considering FF History has been terrible for a very long time.
1 ★ For the past week, Firefox has been crashing a lot. It crashes multiple times a day and it doesn't even send me a notification to report the crashes. I've never seen the app crash this much before. With Firefox's poor performance on the iPad and now it's having poor performance on my android phone, I might have to switch to a new browser for all my devices and it sucks because Firefox has been my main browser on all my devices for years. Very disappointed.
1 ★ I loved FF. However, the latest Android version is terrible. As an open source program taking away the ability to access about:config is a mistake. Not allowing the url bar to be locked in place is a mistake. Killing almost all my add-ons is a mistake. But the real deal breaker is the fact that these changes were made without due consideration of how people transition between old and new. I've reverted to old version & blocked auto-updates. Edit: 3 yrs since above review & it's gotten worse.
1 ★ After the last update Firefox has stopped staying open for more than a minute or two without crashing. Then when I try to open it get back up the tabs I had open will be gone and it will reopen tabs I tried to close. It's practically unusable at this point. I do have a lot of tabs on but when I try to close them it normally crashes and reopens them which makes it really hard to make any progress.
5 ★ I actually contributed in Firefox translations to my native language. Met up with the Mozilla CEO back in 2012. Really had fun with the Mozilla community. It really pains me to say this but there's definitely lots of bugs, on different websites, pictures not loading, not being able to click certain things. Otherwise Firefox is still my primary browser on my laptop and I use it. Still rock my Firefox pin on my backpack. Really love the whole Firefox philosophy and I believe in a comeback!
2 ★ I tried using this for a couple years and I'm finally sick of all the bugs and went back to Chrome. The browser loads so much slower, the auto fill never works properly or even prompts when filling out saved fields sometimes, and the most annoying thing is how often the browser is unresponsive to touch input so I can't click on buttons or scroll a page. It might have better privacy but it doesn't matter if I l can't even browse the website.
5 ★ Overall I like the app. The ability to have add-ons like uBlock and forced dark mode is such an upgrade over using chrome; however, it's rather sticky in comparison. Travel length for gestures, like swipping to close a tab, seem too long and sometimes pages have wierd issues with scrolling. I have had it where pages are slow to scroll after loading or scrolling doesn't go as far as you'd expect, though this could be due to uBlock. Overall though, I'd say it's worth using despite the issues.
3 ★ Recently moved to Firefox because my incognito tabs on chrome keep crashing after a certain amount of time. Figured this would technically solve the issue, but my private tabs seem to keep closing after a while when I have "close tabs" set to "never". The app IS the latest version, and I don't know what mistake I could potentially be making. I hope I'm not just being stupid. Assistance would be appreciated. I hope it's not something wrong with my phone.
5 ★ This browser in my opinion is the best browser of all time when it comes to security, as an artist that is a very important requirement. One thing I would love to see in the mobile version is a loading bar that appears when you're going to a another website like in the Firefox focus browser. And extra customization for the tool bar, for example adding different themes to it to match the original themes Firefox already has. This browser is fast, secure, reliable and I recommend it to everyone.
5 ★ Update 11/28/23 Hands down, it's a great browser. All previous complaints are resolved. Very customizable browser, brilliant upgrades Firefox, you outdid yourselves. Thank you. -------------------------------- The last change to Firefox was a mistake. To me it's confusing in terms of how to use it vs the way it used to be. Let alone the way other browsers work (search box up top, not bottom). Additionally, the way the tabs work now, vs previously. I'll go back to Chrome as my default, too bad..
2 ★ Was excited to be able to use plug-ins like Privacy Badger, but have now discovered that this browser breaks all the challenge-response account creation systems I've tried. Instead of waiting on the page where the challenge is to be entered, it refreshes every time I switch apps, causing the response page (and the account creation) to be lost and forcing start over from the beginning... at which point, once the challenge is reached, it happens all over again. Help!
2 ★ Atrocious speed. App takes over 60 seconds to boot up with ONE tab open. It's asinine. It's a shame because other than that it's mostly well made, has good extensions. I also want to add this: every time you switch to another app (leaving Firefox open in the background) when you switch back to it after longer then a minute or two it takes that same MINUTE like it did on launch, at least, to reboot itself so you can't type a new web address or switch tabs. Just frozen for a minute.
4 ★ Firefox is and always has been my favorite web browser, and even on Android it continues to be my favorite. One issue that I've been having however, is that on occasion, when going into the tabs list, it doesn't always bring me to my currently active tab, instead leaving me at the top of the tab list, which is a bit annoying as I have ∞ tabs open all the time.
