Hi

I couldnt see a way to download your browser for andriod with using googl. which sort of defeats the idea because I wanted to use firefx as an alternative and dont need a play account. is there a download link available? thanks.

p.s. is there a contact email around?

Hi

Please be aware that those builds may not update outside of the Google Play store.

We do not provide support by email, but will do our best to help over this support forum.

Thanks. seemed strange that the only way to download firefox was via googl, as I thought the browser was meant to be an alternative, so good there are alternative sources. thanks.

The Google Play store provides an easy and secure way for many people to download and install Firefox for Android.

Sideloading an .apk involves turning off an important Android security control and is less straightforward for most people.

I understand. but if we need to se the play store for everything might as use the googl search too and forget about firefox right?

Google Search is a search engine, set as the default in Firefox for Android in several locales. This article will help walk you through changing the default search provider:
