Firefox for Android Community Forum

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'm using Firefox 145.0.2. Every time I try to get directions from google maps, it asks me if I want to open it in the app. When I say no, it tries anyway and fails.

I don't have the maps app installed. I've set Firefox as my default browser, set open links in apps to never, and cleared the default behavior for the Google maps app. (I don't know why an app I don't have has a default behavior.)

Is there anything else I should try?

When I try to play whatever video on X in Firefox Nightly mobile, it just shows sequences of solid colors. Audio is still normal.

The issue happens for both GIFs and Videos This only happens in Firefox Nightly. In Firefox, the videos can be seen just fine.

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.

I’m using Firefox on an Android tablet in PC mode, paired with a keyboard and mouse. To enhance the desktop experience, I’ve switched the tab view from grid to list. However, I can’t enable full-screen mode for the entire app, something I can do on Firefox Desktop. On YouTube, videos automatically switch to full screen when I enter full-screen mode, but this feature seems missing for the browser itself. Maybe the full-screen option isn’t available in the settings.

When will Firefox Android allow backing up bookmarks to a file on the phone? I want to keep my phone and my desktop browser separate, so I don't want to sync. Without this feature, I regard FF Android as so problematic that I'm trying to find an alternative.

the sync setting on my mobile app are grayed out i have a samsung phone and the android app is currently up to date. My desktop firefox browser is also upto date. I have signed in and out of both devices, turned my phone off and on, force quit the app and cleared the app cache.

I need to reset my passwords because little hackers tried to take everything we had in the bank, but they picked the wrong one. I can do the same things that they're doing, but they still have access to my accounts.

Currently using android 15, can i hide hide this in firefox's setting? If not, please mozilla, add an option to hide the background behind the bar, it's sucks. I did research and found that it is an app issue and not an OS issue, thanks

Hello Firefox Support Team,

Thank you for providing such an excellent browser, free of charge and without advertisements.

I am experiencing an issue on my Samsung J5 running Android 5. When I try to set Firefox as the default browser, I am redirected to an information page. While helpful, it does not mention that Firefox cannot be set as the default browser on Android versions below 8.

It would be clearer if this limitation were explicitly stated on that page.

Thank you for your attention, and best regards to the entire Firefox team.

Hello, I love the new mascot wallpaper on desktop (and I hope we get more), but when will we see the wallpapers on mobile? I also would would a downloadable version of those wallpapers. Thanks!
