How do I close my Firefox Browser?

more options

It appears that Firefox keeps taking addons or extensions away. Several of the ones that I have used in the past keep disappearing with each new version of Firefox. I used the "cleanquit" extension or addon, and they took that. I used the "quit" extension or addon, and now that's gone! I'm going to have to delete Firefox because I can't close it! Why would you do things like that to mess up a good thing?

Chosen solution

The Quit option is available only when you're willing to clear some of your browsing data on exit. It's for instance cache, tabs, history etc.

  1. Tap on the menu button, then Settings , followed by Privacy.
  2. Put a check mark next to Always clear when quitting and select at least one type of data to clear.
  3. The Quit option will show up in the menu.


On Android 4 and higher, you can close Firefox or any other app from the app switch screen.

  • Ice Cream Sandwich: long press on the home button.
  • Jelly Bean: tap on the app switch button app switch button 25px - Android Jelly Bean.
