Firefox for Android Community Forum

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.

Mozilla has announced that:

> Beginning with Firefox 144, the minimum supported Android version will increase to 8.0 (Oreo)

Where can we download version 143 to install on older devices (Android 5 to 7) from now on?

Hi there. i have here one chinese tablet and i want to install it firefox but cannot login to Google Play store because i see error for the browser. i want install it firefox and set firefox as default so i can log into Google play store.

thanks in advance

I am professional developer and deliver Android rugged devices to professionals. I do not want to log on my personal Google account just to install Firefox via Google play. I am used to install via adb commands the apk packages. Why cannot we find the apk of Firefox easily to download ? thanks

Madam/Sir

Please let me know if Firefox VPN is now made available for installation for Indian subscribers.

I am aware that Firefox may not have a server in India,as per our laws.

            Thanking You,

Hi,

I wish I could find checksum files (e.g. SHA256) along the Fenix apk releases published here or there as linked from the documentation page.

Does anybody know where I can find them? Or, if they don't, when can we expect such checksum files to exist? It would indeed be useful to know this information when downloading files to check their integrity.

Thanks.

Dear Support,

I hope somebody may be able to help. Many years ago, Firefox used to have a 'stripped down' version. This type of version, I cannot for the life of me remember its name, was able to be used to open the browser. It was a minimal version of the browser, starting with no bookmarks, no passwords, no extensions etc. It just allows the browser to start. It can then be used by developers to test out if the browser works with a certain app.

Be most grateful for the name of this version of Firefox for Android. Would just like to report a bug with the latest version of Firefox for Android using the Bugzilla system, Marek

Help! I need a direct download of the current version of Firefox for android. I do not want to get it via Google play store and have to sign in for it there because I do not trust them. Can anyone at Firefox provide me with a direct link please? Thanks guys.

I see Firefox Android was migrated to Mozilla Central

Can someone please send me the specific link to the new repository for Firefox Android on Mozilla Central?

I'm unsure if doing this will actually help me with a problem that I'm having, but I assume that it can't make it any worse, so my question is "Where can I download an (android) Firefox from?

For my puposes, I have the following requirements.

• My device has the Google play store (app), but I'd prefer to get a version of Firefox from a different location (because I doubt that what I want is in the Google play store). I know that Mozilla has sites that are specifically for hosting links to all of it's Firefoxes, so a link to one of those sub-sites would be ideal.
• The Firefox will need to be an ANDROID Firefox (because my device is an android tablet with an android OS).
• I don't know if Mozilla makes an (android) Firefox that is specifically for arm64-v8a android devices, but if they do, that would be preferred.
• EXTREMELY IMPORTANT = The Firefox will NEED to be able to use plugins. (I know that only some plugins will work in (android) Firefox.)
• I know that installing an (android) Firefox from anywhere except the Google play store (app) will mean that I'll (probably) need to manually visit the linked sub-site & get any updated versions from there. I accept that responsibility.

I am currently using (among other android web browsers) "Firefox beta", which I got from the Google play store a few days ago. I have a few logins (Google, Yahoo, & Facebook) already saved to that Firefox, but with Google, that was a pain in the (GUESS), & I'd prefer to avoid that if possible. Is there a way to "export" my (already installed) android Firefox beta's login information & then import that into a new side loaded (android) Firefox? If so, I'll need a link (or the instructions themselves) for how to do that.
