I do not use googleplay. I choose firefox specifically to avoid google. How can i download directly, since the app is not available on amazon?

Hi laSirena,

Good question!

You can always download the latest version of Firefox from here: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/latest/android/ pick locale

Once installed, Firefox will check for and download updates automatically - you can control this behaviour by going to the menu - > Settings -> Customise -> Download updates automatically.

You can also check for updates manually by going to the menu -> Mozilla -> About Firefox -> Check for updates

Best of luck with your principled stance against Google. Keep it up!

jayelbe Firefox for Android build released to the play store do not update.

laSirena if you don't want to use the Google Play app we suggest downloading the Aurora build of Firefox for Android. It can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/aurora/

Thanks Jayelbe,

I downloaded from that link but my tablet is "unable to open" the file. More google shenanigans I suspect.
