Could anyone link to the APK for the Android version, please? I can't find it on Mozilla's servers. Thank you and thanks to all involved in Firefox! edit: I mean how to download without the Play store? the support docs seem outdated

Looks like the versioning scheme is completely different: https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mobile/releases/ https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mobile/releas... only goes up to 68.11 and even that one is from July (the URL came from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-android-release https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-android-r... which even for nightly shows 68.5(?!)) As best I can tell, they really, really want you to get it from the Play store, which correctly lists the 81 version number: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.fi... I believe there are extensions which allow one to download apks from the Play store, but I've never tried them F-Droid is similarly crazy: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/ https://f-droid.org/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/ with an issue about it still unaddressed https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/2161 https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/2161 I'd guess you'll have to build 81 yourself, or investigate those Play store extractors

  The Wikipedia page [1] has this jump from 68.11.0 to 79.0. The version scheme just changed to get consistent with Firefox for desktop AFAICT. I don't know of a trustworthy extension to download APKs from the Play store. I'm reluctant to let one access my Google account indeed. Regarding "their" intention, I'm mostly afraid the person who maintained the FTP got laid off.

    The reason for the big jump is that they were mainly working on the preview version and that went live with version 79 :)

Looks like they're normally uploaded to Github, but the last release with them there is 80.1.2. https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/releases/ https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/releases/

  Thanks a lot! That's a better than nothing alternative.
