The Android version of Mozilla's browser

Next to Google Chrome, the most used web browser in the world is the Mozilla browser. Since the release of its first version in 2004, it has distinguished itself by offering the latest standards and improvements, as well as new features imitated by other developers (e.g. extensions).

And of course, Firefox has also been adapted to be downloaded in APK format on Android tablets and smartphones. In this way, functions and features that we have seen on our desktops in recent years are carried over to this mobile operating system.
