Our overhauled Android browser therefore comes with the top add-ons for enhanced privacy and user experience from our Recommended Extensions program.<\/i><\/p>\n<h3><b>What\u2019s new under the hood<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The improvements in Firefox for Android don\u2019t just stop here: they even go way beyond the surface as <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/futurereleases\/2019\/06\/27\/reinventing-firefox-for-android-a-preview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Firefox for Android is now based on GeckoView<\/a>, Mozilla\u2019s own mobile browser engine. What does that mean for users?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>It\u2019s faster. <\/b>The technology we used in the past limited our capability to further improve the browser as well as our options to implement new features. Now, we\u2019re free to decide and our release cycle is flexible. Also, GeckoView makes browsing in Firefox for Android significantly speedier.<\/li>\n<li><b>It\u2019s built on our standards: private and secure.<\/b> With our own engine we set the ground rules. We can decide independently which privacy and security features we want to make available for our mobile users and are entirely free to cater to our unique high standards.<\/li>\n<li><b>It\u2019s independent, just like our users. <\/b>Unlike Edge, Brave and Chrome, Firefox for Android is not based on Blink (Google\u2019s mobile engine). Instead Firefox for Android is based on GeckoView, Mozilla\u2019s wholly-built engine. This allows us to have complete freedom of choice when it comes to implementation of standards and features. This independence lets us create a user interface that when combined with an overall faster browsing pace, enables unprecedented performance. Also, it protects our users if there are security issues with Blink as Firefox will not be affected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>User experience is key, in product and product development<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Completely overhauling an existing product is a complex process that comes with a high potential for pitfalls. In order to avoid them and create a browsing experience users would truly appreciate, we looked closely at existing features and functionalities users love and we tested \u2013 a lot \u2013 to make sure we\u2019d keep the promise to create a whole new browsing experience on Android.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Bringing the best recent features from desktop to mobile. <\/b>Over the last couple of years we\u2019ve been very busy with continuously improving the Firefox desktop browsing experience: We <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blog\/2018\/06\/05\/latest-firefox-test-pilot-experiments-custom-color-and-side-view\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">did<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blog\/2018\/06\/05\/latest-firefox-test-pilot-experiments-custom-color-and-side-view\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">experiments<\/a>, launched new tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blog\/2018\/11\/14\/firefox-monitor-launches-in-26-languages-and-adds-new-desktop-browser-feature\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Firefox Monitor<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blog\/2019\/03\/12\/introducing-firefox-send-providing-free-file-transfers-while-keeping-your-personal-information-private\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Send<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blog\/2019\/03\/26\/firefox-lockbox-now-on-android-keeping-your-passwords-safe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lockwise<\/a> and took existing features to a whole new level. This includes, amongst others, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blog\/2019\/07\/09\/latest-firefox-release-available-today-for-ios-and-desktop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dark Mode<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/firefox\/firefox-picture-in-picture-mode\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Picture-in-Picture feature<\/a>, the support of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/firefox\/firefox-recommended-extensions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">extensions and add-ons<\/a> as well as, last but not least, the core element of Firefox privacy technology: today, Enhanced Tracking Protection\u00a0 protects Firefox users from up to 10 billion third-party tracking cookies, fingerprinters and cryptominers <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blog\/2019\/10\/22\/latest-firefox-brings-privacy-protections-front-and-center-letting-you-track-the-trackers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">per day<\/a>. Feedback from users showed that they like the direction Firefox is developing into, so we worked hard to bring the same level of protection and convenience to mobile, as well. As a result, users can now experience a better Firefox mobile experience on their Android devices than ever before.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><b> We tested extensively and emphasized direct feedback from mobile users.<\/b> Over the course of several months, earlier versions of the new Firefox for Android were available as a separate app called <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/futurereleases\/2020\/01\/17\/a-brand-new-browsing-experience-arrives-in-firefox-for-android-nightly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Firefox Preview<\/a>. This enabled us to adequately try out new features, examine the user experience, gather feedback and implement it in accordance with the users\u2019 wishes and needs. And the result of this process is now available.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><b>Try the new Firefox for Android!<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019re proud to say that we provided Firefox for Android with an entirely new shape and foundation and we\u2019re equally happy to share the result with Android users now. Here\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/support.mozilla.org\/en-US\/products\/mobile\/install-and-update\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how to get our overhauled browser<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Users who have the browser downloaded to their Android devices already will receive the revamp either as an automatic or manual update, depending on their device preferences. Their usage data, such as the browsing history or bookmarks, will be migrated automatically to the new app version, which might take a few moments. Users who have set a master password will need to disable the master password in order for their logins to automatically migrate over.<\/li>\n<li>New users can <a href=\"https:\/\/app.adjust.com\/2uo1qc?campaign=blog&amp;adgroup=en&amp;creative=android-mobile1&amp;fallback=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dorg.mozilla.firefox\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">download<\/a> the update from the Google PlayStore as of today. It\u2019s easy to find it as \u2018Firefox for Android\u2019 through the search functionality and tapping \u2018Install\u2019 will get the process started. The new Firefox for Android supports a wide range of devices from Android 5.0+ and above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Make sure to let us know what you think about the overhauled browsing experience with Firefox for Android and stay tuned for more news in the upcoming months!<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: We\u2019re all about moving forward.
