'''Anti-Features'''

* Tracking: Stats are sent back regularly to the developers, but that can be disabled via settings. Also some versions contain "Adjust" tracking software.
* UpstreamNonFree: Contains proprietary software, e.g. play-services.

Maintainer Notes:
Binaries in repo for now, build process is large and complex. The binaries are
very well hidden - Mozilla appear very keen to force use of the proprietary market.
2015-12-24 11:00:46 +00:00
They come from here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/releases/
2013-12-11 10:57:05 +00:00
The HTTP update check no longer works because they stopped putting any useful
info alongside the binaries.
2014-10-17 16:07:29 +00:00
Starting with 33.0 Firefox contains gms play-services due to chromecasting
capabilities.
