Firefox for Android Community Forum

The latest Firefox release (141) on Android introduced a couple of new features marked as "progressive rollout", e.g. the ability to protect private tabs via PIN, while the release also brought regular updates, e.g. security fixes.

Does someone know how a progressive rollout of such a feature works technically for the userbase? How can a release be rolled out, but some of its features be kept back while other changes apply to all?

For example, the ability to set a PIN for private tabs is a local user preference configuration. The user may or may not have a user sync profile. How is it possible to rollout the feature progressively on the same release channel? Or does the progressive rollout imply the first group of users receive the feature with consecutive minor releases, e.g. release 141.1, the next group with 141.2, etc?

I own a 'BlackDroidBerry' cell phone--a Blackberry Key2 LE--which came with Firefox installed. I don't know how to determine which version of Firefox that is.

Is there a way to update the Firefox on this phone without granting access to the 'Google Play Store'? Because I value my privacy, I have this phone locked down so tightly that all it can do is receive text messages, make phone calls, and use Firefox. I REALLY don't want to let Google past my personal firewall....

Hello, I want to update the browser version on my "Huawei matepad t8" device. There are no Google services on it, only the app gallery. You cannot download the installer for android on your official website. It redirects to the Google play store. How do I get updates? Can I get a direct link to download the .apk?

1. How can I locate the FF version on my devices. I have Android 14 OS. Today (February 16) I located a versio 147.4 will be released. Is this automatically available for my devices or do I nèd to download. If so how.. Ðo I get notifications.

Once upon a time Mozilla Firefox was a great little browser..No clanging bells and whistle and sirens that pestered one about all the great wonderful features, each one a must have. Page after page of 'look at all the meat things we added." And maybe, justcmaybe, we could get around to what we wanted to do and look up the next showtime. A simple Blue smiley button that also said "New!" somewhere up top, perhaps a little bigger than the others and blinking/winking😎every now oand then would do. When did Mozilla decide it was all about Mozilla, and not about the customer, and tell us so every update. You know, like Micro squash does?😒 ry now🙃

I like the old design better. The new Firefox adjusted for Android thingy is annoying. I want to go back to the Firefox version I used yesterday and everyday before.
