Where is a link to download (android) Firefox?
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.

You can download everything from https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/fenix/releases/145.0.1/android/ , including beta versions, as well as arm64-v8a builds.

There were not much in way of NPAPI Plugins for Android Firefox like there were for desktop Firefox.There was Flash but no Java Plugin from Oracle for example. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/npapi-plugins
However I take it you are actually referring to Extensions for Android Firefox which are at https://addons.mozilla.org/android/
