App summary

Get the browser that prioritizes people over profits

It’s a new era in tech. Don’t settle for a browser made by unethical, profit-driven, data-hoarding companies. By choosing Firefox, you support the non-profit Mozilla Foundation whose mission is to build a better internet — one that puts individual and public benefit over commercial profit.

What Firefox offers:

✔ PRIVACY-FOCUSED BROWSING
• Automatic tracker blocking — By default, Firefox blocks trackers and scripts such as social media trackers, cross-site cookie trackers, crypto-miners and fingerprinters.
• Enhanced tracking protection — Choose the “strict” setting and get even more privacy protections.
• Private browsing mode — When you close private mode, your browsing history is automatically erased from your device.

✔ EASY-TO-USE TABS
• Find what you want quickly — create as many tabs as you like without losing track.
• See your open tabs as thumbnails or a list view.
• See tabs from your phone on your desktop and vice versa — or choose to keep them separate.

✔ PASSWORD MANAGEMENT
• Log into sites easily — Firefox remembers your passwords across devices.
• Firefox suggests passwords for new log-ins and stores them securely.

✔ LIGHTNING-FAST PAGE LOADS
• Enhanced Tracking Protection automatically blocks online trackers from following you around the web and slowing down your pages.

✔ TAILORED SEARCH OPTIONS
• Get suggestions and previously searched results in the search bar so you can quickly access the sites you visit most.
• Move the search bar location from the top to the bottom of the screen, making it easier to use with one hand.
• Use the Firefox search widget to search the web directly from your device’s home screen.
• See the recent searches you’ve done on other devices for seamless searching across mobile, desktop and more.

✔ CUSTOMIZE YOUR FIREFOX EXPERIENCE
• Get helpful add-on extensions, including ways to block ads, block certain webpages, turbo-charge privacy settings and more.

✔ FIREFOX HOME SCREEN
• Access your recent bookmarks, top sites and see popular articles from across the internet, recommended by Pocket, which is part of Mozilla.

✔ SAVE BATTERY WITH DARK MODE
Switch to dark mode any time, reducing eye strain and prolonging your battery power.

✔ WATCH VIDEOS WHILE YOU MULTITASK
• Pop videos out of their webpages or players and pin them to the top of your phone’s screen to watch while you surf the web and do other things.

✔ SHARE ANYTHING IN A FEW TAPS
• Share links to web pages or specific items on a page with easy, quick access to your most recently used apps.

Why now it injects "trending" when you select the address /search bar, and this can't be disabled any way that I can find? If this bad anti-feature is enabled by default, disabling it should be possible, and it should be possible from the search options with all the other bad autocomplete/suggestions trash. We need you guys to at least try not to suck, you're the sad last bulwark for browsers... or supposed to be.

With every update, this browser just gets slower, and slower, and slower. Just opening this browser on my phone now causes all my other apps to crash due to lag, sometimes causes my hardware back, home, recent apps, and volume buttons to all not work, going on pretty much any webpage brings my entire phone down to 10 seconds per frame, and just having 10 websites open makes my phone borderline unusable. This is completely unacceptable for what should simply be a web browser. Samsung Galaxy J7 V.

I've been using Firefox for a long time and it's my go-to browser. However, I've been noticing that it's been crashing on startup on the mobile app now, and it could have something to do with that new search thing they prompted upon opening it. If Mozilla could fix this, I'd be grateful
