For Android version 4 and above, quit was removed from the Firefox menu to meet Google's application guidelines. If you wish, you can re-add it. Here's how.

Note: This applies to the latest Firefox release version which can be downloaded from mozilla.org/mobile.

How to add Quit back using a Firefox for Android add-on

  2. Tap the orange Folder icon in the upper-right of the Add-ons screen. Alternatively you could go directly to https://addons.mozilla.org/android/ to achieve the same result.
