Uses the Gecko layout engine to render web pages, which implements current and anticipated web standards. Features include: bookmark sync, custom search engines, support for addons and the ability to enable or disable the search suggestions. '''Anti-Features''' * Non-free Addons: The license of the addons may be seen in the version notes, but often are non-free. The marketplace has no license information on most apps. * 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. They come from here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases The HTTP update check no longer works because they stopped putting any useful info alongside the binaries. Starting with 33.0 Firefox contains gms play-services due to chromecasting capabilities. . Auto Update Mode:None Update Check Mode:None Current Version:40.0 Current Version Code:2015080518
