I am using Mozilla Firefox on Samsung Galaxy A5 phone (Android version 4.4.4) since 2016. I last used Firefox on my phone yesterday. Today, when I wanted to browse internet, I noticed that Mozilla Firefox app has been removed from my phone. When I visited Google Play Store, the app was unavailable in search. Since the app has has vanished from phone, I tried to open the download link on Mozilla.org website in Chrome, it is not working (https://app.adjust.com/2uo1qc?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dorg.mozilla.firefox&campaign=www.mozilla.org&adgroup=mobile-android-page) I am in a fix! Please provide resolution on priority.

Cleaned up the Google Play link to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox&campaign=www.mozilla.org&adgroup=mobile-android-page. The page shows that the app is installed but not available for my device!! I suspect that the Mozilla Firefox version last installed on my cellphone was auto updated yesterday night and the latest browser version is not supported on my old device. Now the question is how do I reinstate last working Firefox version? Thanks

Hi

Firefox for Android has not been available for devices running Android 4 for almost two years - we no longer support that platform.

Hi Seburo, Thanks for replying. I was using Mozilla Firefox on Android 4.4.4 till yesterday. I do not know how the browser disappeared from my cellphone overnight. Please advise how can I reinstall the last Mozilla version supported on 4.4.4. Thanks

There were no Android Firefox Releases 69.0 to 78 and the Fx 79.0 to current Fx 100.0 Releases requires Android 5.0 or later.
