It freezes up on my computer and the plug in container.exe sucks Royally ? Like what is this crap program any way it keeps popping up on my Computer.im about to delete and find a better program and programmers whom have s clue of what they're doing in their scripts. 1/5
Positive review Awesome by anonym
I use Firefox on my PC I have been using it on my tablet and my phone for a few months. Its smooth and sinks well with all 3 items . It does take time to get used to the Android app as things are located in different positions then on the PC, but it makes my life so much easier: I don't have to try and figure out where everything's at it's all in the same place and that is saved in my Firefox. thanks a lot you guys are awesome. 5/5
Positive review Brilliant...love it. by anonym
Fastest browser support lot of cool features can now enjoy ad free browsing..keep it up 5/5
Negative review Needs work by anonym
I've noticed a few annoying things: 1) the webpage always cuts a little off on the right side. 2) editing forum posts often blanks them entirely if I'm not using my onscreen tablet keyboard, and Iminimize it. It's annoying to be required to have the onscreen keyboard up when I'm using a keyboard dock. None of my other browsers blank posts that I go back and edit. 3) It crashes within 30 seconds of entering any page with the word wikia in the title. Every single time. I have a few sesconds to grab the address and go over to chrome to browse wikia pages. Other than that I'd be screwed. The one advantage is that none of my other browsers can be used for porn without being cluttered with things that AdBlockerPlus stops. Still saying it's for an older version, when the update isn't fixing anything. 1/5
Negative review by anonym
Pretty useless on my phone but does work quite well on my tablet. 50% beats nothing I guess. Guess I'll stick with Google Chrome. It is much more user-friendly. 1/5
Negative review Freeze...crash...repeat! by anonym
I really want to like ff for android BUT it constantly loads only half-pages then freezes, won't load most video sites I watch, and freezes every 5 minutes...LITERALLY! I have to force-close ff, kill the executable, then relaunch! As much as I hate to, I am going to Chrome for now. Hope ff gets fixed. 2/5
Positive review Good browser mostly. by anonym
I have tried many browsers, and still default to Firefox. It is a good solid browser that emphasises security and privacy, and has some great features (such as Save to PDF, Save Pages to an (excellent) offline Reader, and Add URL to Home Screen), and add-ons which add functionality, security, and the ability to remove ads. For me there are some issues: - The UI is complex and unintuitive, after 6 months I still have difficulty navigating to features I know are there but can't find. - In landscape (using tablet), I find TABS awkward, and the X to close a TAB is too small. - There's no way to arrange Bookmarks, and no folders, making them all but useless. I've given up using them. (To look up my bookmarked sites, I now use Atlas browser, with bookmarks imported from desktop Fx). I have spent endless hours fruitlessly trying to get Sync to work. 7" tablet, Android 4.2.2. UPDATE: Latest version (33) a great improvement, especially Switch-to-Tab, Close-all-Tabs, and Clear-Data-at-Quit. Got rid of a host of add-ons. 4/5
Negative review New update keeps freezing by anonym
Since the new updates it constantly freezing.. But will give it time 2/5
Positive review Love it! by anonym
Aside from the ease of use and features such as sharing between devices I love the fact that with Firefox if you think "it would be great if my browser could do..." you know you will always find an add on for that exact thing! 4/5
Positive review Continuing to do a great job by anonym
My only issue is the lack of support for playing videos which seems to be across the board with all browsers. I still have to use my laptop to watch a lot of videos. Sometimes if I touch and hold on the video I can open it with an internal app but it would be nice to be able to watch any video available on my phone. 5/5
Positive review On the right track by anonym
There are still some issues here and there that don't appear when using Google Chrome. That said, I like Firefox interface better and feel more comfortable about being "less tracked" 4/5
Positive review Abysmal by anonym
Slow rendering. No more Flash (I know it caused a lot of crashes in the previous version, but removing support doesn't mean you've fixed it). The user interface in every respect inferior to Opera and Dolphin (how does one open a blank new tab?). And in this era of overphishing, is it really a good idea to show the page title instead of its address in the "address" field? The reedeming quality - you can change colours. No, wait, I can't say that with a straight face... I suppose I shan't be giving it two stars after all. 4/5
Positive review Better than Chrome, but.... by anonym
My last review is accurate for me, loads faster and all that other stuff i said but i noticed anytime i try to listen to music using an online player of a site it always tends to crash during buffer in the middle of the streaming. This is the only issue i have....so for one issue im gonna have to knock off a star because i listen to online streams a lot. 4/5
Negative review Not looking so good by anonym
Firefox is now crashing every time I use it. Looking for replacement. If 1/5
Negative review ... by anonym
There needs to be a new update that fixes the bugs that I have with playing videos. I haven't been able to watch anything on my phone, I had to download another browser specifically for watching videos because they never work on Firefox. This is the only browser I use on my computer and it used to be all I used on my phone, but it doesn't work like it used to. Please fix it and I'll rate it higher. 1/5
Negative review What in the world? by anonym
Stagnates! I cant, wont deal with this when there's Maxthon! Preparing for deletion 10-21-14 1/5
Negative review What? by anonym
The browser is awesome, fast, smooth but it is anoying that it download some mp4 files each about 50 mb i dont kno why 2/5
Positive review Ok, but by anonym
A option to change the name of the file what you download will be excellent. And it will be good that in full screen the notification bar to dissappear. And an option that the menu and address bar to be placed at the bottom, more accessible... And lower memory use.. Crashes sometimes... 5/5
Positive review Great Job by anonym
Great browser for both Desktop and Android it is my default browser for both! Only complaint would be when I am trying to watch a video online with my AT&T LG G2 running 4.4.2 stock the video is pure black and flickers occasionally to show what's happening. 4/5
Positive review by anonym
Not good enough! Lacks too many basics like flash and even simply correct rendering. Default browser is better on Thunderbolt, Droid, and Incredible. 4/5
Positive review Best browser on Android by anonym
This is the best and fastest browser that I have used. Only downfall is that you don't have option to stream content. Instead you have 2 download. 5/5
Positive review Almost, but not there yet by anonym
LIKE: (1) Going back to inactive tabs after leaving them for awhile, the page is still there w/out reloading (but leaving them a long time will reload the page once u go back). Neat! (2) Able to undo closed tab. (3) Heavenly firefox add-ons (ABP, etc.). (4) Faster than dolphin n chrome, imo. DISLIKE: Pls fix! (1) Page flickers when being dragged (due to the way the page is rendered, imo. Faster but flicker when dragged). Makes me dizzy. (2) Flash doesn't play properly. (3) No display-always-on n night mode. 4/5
Positive review Finally, a stable browser by anonym
After a long time of being crash-prone, Firefox mobile has improved to the point where I can recommend it. Firefox Sync plus Add-ons like Adblock means it's closer to the browsing experience I have on desktop. 5/5
Positive review Could be better by anonym
I have to Uninstaller and reinstall because the loading keeps hanging. I also have the same problem with my laptop. A lot of the time I have to switch to Chrome to do my surfing. I think Firefox has had to many addons and tweaks and is now stubble over itself to be as good as it once was. 4/5
Negative review Thinking how to abuse it by anonym
When i downloaded and istalled it, it was working very nicely and that time i thought that its the best ever web browser i had got. But after after an update its working like a real moreon. Taking much more time to open a the site which i opened before updating on the same mobile and net pack. 1/5
Positive review FLOSS browsing at its finest by anonym
At first I was hesitant to switch from the beta build of Chrome, but after trying FireFox out, I can honestly say I feel it's more feature-full and just as fast as Chrome, but designed around FLOSS principles. Keep up the great work and please make a comparable program to hangouts as soon as possible. 5/5
Positive review Excellent Mobile Browser by anonym
It runs very well, looks quite nice, and is extremely customizable with plugins (though the selection is quite limited compared to the desktop versions). The only complaint that I have is that the newer versions seem to be requiring more and more memory, and currently, any time I open this app, it kills off many "lower priority" processes such as my launcher and any music app on my device, so I can no longer listen to music and browse the Web at the same time. Mind you, I have 2GB of RAM on my phone. 5/5
Negative review Htc Desire user. by anonym
The functionality in the software for the os is better then the Firefox, I can't copy images when needed. I am a Firefox user for other devices, and I love this range, but the phone lacks the abilities of the pc version, and makes it a little frustrating. Sadly I dislike this although my husband says it's better, it would seem for his version it is. Disappointed in my favorite browser. 2/5
Neutral review Yes, you can use add-ins, but zoom stinks by anonym
Allowing the use of add-ons is nice, too bad you MUST use them as the zoom function is so poor that you have to try to fix it. No double tap, etc. 3/5
Positive review Way better than Chrome (so far) by anonym
Since I use firefox on my desktop PC (in a moving-from-google-and-microsoft-things-as-much-as-posible program that I created to myself) I discovered a sync function on my desktop browser... Long story short, I instaled firefox for android and, to my surprise i must confess it runs smoother and loads faster than chrome... And I mean A.LOT. plus, gets packed with cool options. So recommended. 5/5
Positive review Brilliant, add ons let you block pop up ads & malware by anonym
The only Android browser that I've found that lets you use pop up and ad blocking add-ons which makes the browsing experience 10 times better. Only recommended improvements would possibly be making it slightly faster, and adding a data compression feature ala opera for those times when you're low on data 5/5
Positive review It's good...but I have a question. by anonym
When I go full-screen mode,it always pop up "press BACK to leave full-screen mode" .It's very annoying you know......all the time! And pop up 3 times some more,I'm getting fed up with this thing. Please do let me know how to get rid of this,thanks! 5/5
Positive review Gotta have it by anonym
I am so glad there's a Firefox for mobile. It's one of if not the Best browsers out there period. Thanks Mozilla!! 5/5
Positive review Mr One+ by anonym
I always get this browser due to the simple fact that it allows me to copy and paste. Some browser don't allow you too. 4/5
Negative review Latest update seems unstable by anonym
Crashes... a lot. like every 5 minutes a lot. I suppose it's my fault for not having a newer phone with lots of RAM (stuck for now with a miserable Kyocera Rise) but Chrome doesn't crash nearly as much, although it's a pig of an app space-wise. I am on the hunt for a browser that has the light footprint of Firefox but with some semblance of stability. 2/5
Neutral review Not bad by anonym
I don't like the history being so easily viewed, it can make it dangerous to prying eyes. This is a stupid feature and why I have given it 3 stars. There should be an option to be able to delete the history on exit, or, better still, not store any history at all. Yes, ok there is a private mode but it's very restrictive. Also, the speed dial is totally useless. Please get these sorted. Thanx. 3/5
Positive review Could have 5 stars... But.. by anonym
I don't know why... But lately Firefox on my lg g3 has been closing randomly and not loading pages very well.. Kinda disappointed. 4/5
Positive review Liked it... by anonym
But i hate the download manager. At least you should provide the basic informations such as downloading speed, ETA, size etc... Then I will give you 5 stars. 4/5
Positive review Easy migration from Google Chrome by anonym
I decided that a browser with corporate holdings and shareholders might not have my best interests in mind, so I switched. It was simple, and I'm not missing any features. The only weirdness I had was that my bookmark icons went blank until I visited them in Firefox. But being able to sync my history and bookmarks across any device I'm signed into is great. I can even open a link someone texted to me, then while the tab is open on my phone, I can also open it on my PC pretty easily. 4/5
Positive review I do prefer it above all others! by anonym
I use Firefox on my pc, so why not on my phone?! It takes a lot of getting used to because it is so different from the pc version, and it's very different from other phone browsers as well, making it difficult to navigate. I do prefer it above all others, and tremendously grateful that they continue to have automatic spell check! 4/5
