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.

Punch through bug causes activation of a lower layer object instead of the visible object. Textbox can move to evade text input. Most prominent on facebook, probably poor programming on their part, maybe to a non complied (by other browsers) standard. 2 very annoying, problem bugs

Screenshot 1 is from a podcast where tapping pause or skip can unexpectedly activate the episode behind the floating bar, leaving the desired episode. This could be improper markup or style on the part of talkstreamlive dot com or a Firefox flaw. Screenshot 2 is from the bug ridden kingdom of Facebook. Entering a comment or reply can be a nightmare. I workaround using the address bar for scratch then cutting, returning if facebook doesn't leave, and pasting, avoiding the squirrelly behavior avoiding input attempts. This is almost certainly their fault, IMHO. Perhaps Mr. Selfenfull could benefit from some guidance. The comment textbox floats above the previous comments by others, appears to be related, and may after all be a Firefox bug. Desktop Firefox has no problem. Thanks and good luck.

I have a lot of bookmarks and lot means A LOT OF. When I add any bookmark to a specific folder, then the list becomes a mess. I can't find any folder easily where I want to add new bookmark. It's so inconvenient and time-consuming. So, I request you to please address this issue and improve the bookmark section. I'll be very thankful to you.

Thank you, Naveen.

Set up 2fa you have 30 sec to type the 6 digit # on screen then it ask to verify it AGAIN:

 if you type the same # you used it says wrong, If you type the new # that is now show it say wrong.

So, you never get 2fa to finish:

 So how can you use it????
2fa does not stop its count down & FF is not excepting new #, loop

does not end...

Can this be removed? It appears after every cold start.

Call me petty, but looking at this pink page is annoying and if I can't remove it from my experience with Firefox, I'm deleting Firefox for another browser.

Android v16, Pixel 8 Pro Newly installed Firefox.
