A Firefox guest session allows you to share your browser with somebody else and not have their browsing affect your personal browsing data like saved passwords, history or bookmarks.

To use this feature, start a guest session and hand the device to somebody you trust. Once this person is finished browsing, you would get the device back and then you can end the guest session and resume browsing with your personal browsing data intact and unaffected by the other person.


Note: This applies to the latest Firefox for Android Beta version which can be downloaded from mozilla.org/beta.

  1. Tap the Firefox Menu button (either at the bottom right on some devices or in the upper right of the browser) , then tap Tools and finally tap New Guest Session.
  2. Tap Continue to start a guest session without any of your personal browsing data.

How do I end a Firefox Guest Session?

  1. Tap the Firefox Menu button (either at the bottom right on some devices or in the upper right of the browser) , then tap Exit Guest Session.
  2. Tap Continue to delete all the browsing data from this guest session and return to a regular session with your personal browsing data.

How can I tell if I am in a Guest Session?

  • Tap the Firefox Menu button (either at the bottom right on some devices or in the upper right of the browser) . If you see Exit Guest Session, then you are using a Firefox Guest Session, otherwise you are in a regular Firefox session.
