Hello everyone, I have two questions: Is it possible to get a direct link from Mozilla for the android APK? Because I want to use Firefox but unfortunately it is not possible to download it from a reliable source. Since my phone does not come with Google play services I have problems with getting Firefox in a secure way.

And I changed the Huawei appgallery to region China and could download Firefox ( is it the same like the European/us version)? And why is it not available in Germany?

Thanks a lot.

For over a decade, mobile users have had no addons for browsers (including Firefox,) how much longer will this last? There are like 10 sponsored addons (out of 10 million for desktop) that install, the rest only let you download the .xpi file (with nowhere to put the file.) Where is the mobile Firefox extensions folder to put the .xpi files for mobile Firefox? I have been waiting for over a decade for such basic support, I am about to abandon Android forever.

A long time ago it was possible to tap and hold on an image while browsing images and just download them. Now I only have the option to "share" or "visit site". It is very frustrating because I know in other browsers it is still possible to do it, it's a mozilla limitation, not a google limitation. I'm tired of having to visit sites to download images, especially since some sites require you to create an account to use them.

I having an issue running applications and opening all sorts of files I have downloaded with the browser. Media files, APK, pdf are the types of files I have downloaded and none of them seem to be opening. I even tried renaming but they still don't open. I downloaded the same files on a different browser like operamini and the files open on my fone

I've downloaded a calendar file 4 times from a website. I've checked all of my 2 download folders with internet and SD card. Not there. I 4 notifications listed next to the Firefox shortcut. Where the hell did Firefox send the files and how do I deal with the notifications. Not listed when I go into the settings. Beyond frustrating. Shouldn't be this hard. Urgh.

Hi I just noticed that the latest Firefox (version 111) for Android can't download web links pointing to pdf files any more. From the release notes, I find "You can now view PDF documents as you browse, no need to download them and open external applications anymore". This is horrible, in most time, I do want to download pdf files to my device, so I can view/edit them locally later. Plus, when the network is rate limited, the Firefox browser display nothing and seems to be frozen until the pdf file is fully received by Firefox browser which is horrible user experience. While in normal download, at least I can see the download progress and be aware if the download is interrupted or whatnot. Please revert back this "enhancement", or if you want to keep this enhancement because some other people want it, at least please provide an option on the Firefox for Android to disable it (which would be more fair to everyone). Before you fix it, I had to uninstall the latst Firefox and use the old version for the time being. thanks
