hi I would like to download and install firefox for android which if I understand correctly is named fenix, without going to an app store. I don't see a direct link on the main pages on the website. I noticed at https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/ it looks like it might be possible to get the apk. My concern would be does this violate any terms or licenses? Is this 100 percent ok to do? Also does the firefox owners have anything written answering this? There are websites that imply sideloading firefox might be considered using without permission and I definitely don't want that.

When I've updated Firefox ( 130.0)- from ( Play store); I've noticed that the new version in some way had been missplaced with the desktop version.

However every time I open a new tab- it will always open the Desktop version.

So,please if someone could publish the correct version.

"Capture more" scrolling screenshot not working on Firefox Android?

Since Android 12, many apps can take "scrolling screenshots" that capture more than just the currently-visible part of the screen, with an aptly labeled "capture more" button. I noticed that when screenshotting a webpage in Firefox Android, I don't have the option to do this. When screenshotting the same webpage in a Chromium browser, I do. (See screenshots: 1st is Firefox, 2nd is Chrome)

Is this a bug, or a known FF limitation? Is it on the devs' roadmap?

You guys ever going to get around to improving how to interact with bookmarks? When I have downtime during the day and I'd like to move my bookmarks around I can't! This has been an issue for a long time and I know others have asked. This is the one huge reason why I feel forced to use other browsers on my phone when not at home! Please get on this so I can just say on one browser for phone and home.

Hi all, There is a bug regarding the "Manage Bookmarks" in Firefox (Android - version 133.0.3).

Despite being sorted accordingly on PC and synchronized, the mobile version of Firefox for bookmarks are scrambled (see attached image).

On mobile Firefox, it looked like it was sorted according to the "recently added" bookmarks.


To add on for more details, expected results according to the PC version of "Bookmarks Manager", it should have been displayed this way on Android Firefox:

  • Desktop Bookmarks
  • Folder
  • Link 1
  • Link 2
  • Link 3
  • Link 4
  • Link 5
  • Webtoon
  • Twitter

And so on.

Firefox beta usually works OK but random webpages either take ages to load or even hang indefinitely. Most of the responses I've seen on this subject simply ask for more info re websites, extensions etc but other browsers don't have these problems, so it looks like a core Firefox thing.

Since Firefox nowdays is Multilanguage,but the downside is that when I choose one language( let us say English- UK or US).

Every time I visit any site it automaticly associate every site as if I were in England( or US). This also include ( based on my search history) that it also via default search for English websites. Since lagre multilanguage corporations have local websites as well.


But however in older versions it never had this issues. However for me it's quite disturbing( annoying). Since I myself live in Sweden( and isn't so interested of what happends in the states or england) Can some one please change( make correction).

Several websites I've visited on my Firefox-Android browser generate a popup message that requires me to "enable java script" if I want to gain access. All FAQ I've searched so far says that Firefox enables Java by default. When I navigate to 'site settings' on the Android app settings menu there are no adjustments one can make at all. So . . . (1) Is Java enabled by default on the Firefox Android browser, and (2) Would any kind soul who knows what's wrong clue me in, regardless? Much thanks in advance!
