Welcome to a new version of Firefox for Android (version 97). In this release, you will find the following updates:
Updated homepage section contains history highlights

Tap Show all in this section to access your full browsing history. You can remove the Recently Visited section by customizing your home screen.
New prompt when leaving private browsing with active downloads

Bug fixes
- We’ve improved performance when it comes to a cold start.
- You’ll now see the order of items in your history go from newest to oldest, just as expected.
- The talkback no longer reads “Button” twice for the “Show all” button on the home page.
- Tab group titles are no longer the wrong color when in private mode. The text is now easily visible.
- When dark theme and private mode are enabled, you can see the icons for bookmarks, folders and downloads.
- The app no longer crashes when returning to the add-on details menu after changing your device language.
- Firefox is no longer slow to search stored passwords.
We hope you enjoy this version. Thank you for helping us improve Firefox, and stay tuned for more improvements with each upcoming release.
