I downloaded it from Aurora Store. I know I can download it from Github through Obtainium but I always run into problems if I use that method. Is FFF private like DDG?

    Firefox Focus is more of a quick search, you can’t open another tab/window type of browser, hence Focus. As soon as you close it, FF will automatically delete everything. Think of it as disposable, one-time use search and browser. I use it on my phone.

    If you’re looking for a browser with privacy features that you can use everyday and customize like DuckDuckGo, then maybe you should consider IronFox. I sometimes use it on my tablet; I like to separate work from personal stuff.

    DuckDuckGo is what I use when I want to watch something on YouTube, it has Duck Player.

    Not sure what your goal is but if you like having different browsers for different purposes, these may be of use:

    Firefox vs. Ironfox

    Hope that helps. Good luck.

      Well, you can open another tab, by opening a link in another tab. ;-) But otherwise you are right. I use it too…

      You can definitely open other tabs. And your tabs and cookies will stay there until you explicitly remove the app from memory or restart your phone.

        Really? How? I just tried, just now. Been using FF for years and never had that option.

        Can you please tell me how? Also, thanks!

          Long tap on a link and select “open in new tab”. You can even save 4 favourites! :)
