If you want to get your hands on version 79 right now, you can also download it from APK Mirror.
Your usage data like browsing history and bookmarks minus extensions will be migrated automatically, but if you set up a master password, you'll need to disable it first to retain your saved logins. The all-new Firefox will start rolling out widely in Europe (Germany, France, and the UK, to be specific) on August 25 and in North America on August 27. There's an all-new UI with user-selectable top or bottom bars and dark mode support, there are privacy enhancements in the form of third-party cookie and content blocking, and tons of optimizations under the hood that should make browsing the web much faster. Other than that, the new browser received some substantial improvements compared to v68. This only works when you use a button navigation system (there's no long-press for the Android 10+ back gesture), or if you hold down on the browser's own back button.Ĭoming to you with version 80 (currently in beta): long-press the back button for history. You'll be able to long-press the back button to see the websites you've previously visited, just like you can on Chrome. At least Mozilla promises that this will soon change, though it does sound like there will still only be a selection: "We’re continuously working on offering more add-on choice in the future that will seamlessly fit into Firefox for Android."Īt least another feature from the old Firefox will make it into the new version starting with v80, which is currently still in beta. You still only have access to a small selection of extensions in the beginning, namely uBlock Origin, Dark Reader, HTTPS Everywhere, Privacy Badger, NoScript Security Suite, Decentraleyes, Search by Image, YouTube High Definition, and Privacy Possum.
We already complained about the lacking extension support when the browser first hit stable at the end of July, and the situation hasn't changed since then.
