What is the Dir location of the "Firefox or Android" APK on Android Phones? I can see most of the installed APK's with a different file mgr but not Firefox.

I am not sure where the installation dir is for "Firefox for Android" on my Motorola ATRIX HD phone. Most of the the APK's can be found but I can't find where Firefox is installed. I am trying to put a previous version on but the one installed thru Google's App Store app on the phone doesn't provide info on type other than version number. As such, the Mozilla's FTP site provides various archived versions for mobile devices but trying to find the APK to ensure the proper archived version is used makes it impossible to do. I'm guessing it installs from the app store but doesn't put the APK on the phone. Or is something else at work here?

Hi endyuser1233, the official build can be downloaded and installed from the Google play store. However the apk directory depends on the build:

  • /data/data/org.mozilla/fennec for nightly
  • /data/data/org.mozilla/firefox for release
  • /data/data/org.mozilla/firefox_beta
  • /data/data/org.mozilla/fennec_aurora

Traditional installation references:

Note that the /data/data is not readable unless your phone is rooted.
