Download, install and update these privacy friendly browsers:
and:
FFUpdater will check periodically for updates and will display a notification when an update is available. This feature itself can be disabled and the check frequency can be changed.
You can find the APK certificate fingerprints on multiple website - e.g. apkmirror.com I did my best to make the app as secure as possible - feel free to double-check it in the source code.
The applications are downloaded from these locations:
14.03.2021: The latest release of Firefox Lite is not longer signed and thereby can't be used to upgrade an existing Firefox Lite installation. Moreover the developers haven't responded to the Github issue "[BUG] Unsigned apk ?" from 30.01.2021 https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/FirefoxLite/issues/5353. And Firefox Lite will only receive bug fixes in the future:
Firefox Lite is currently in Maintenance Mode. No active feature is being done on the product. Older Pull Requests and Issues have been marked with the archived label and have been closed. However, if you feel an issue is critical enough to be re-opened, please leave a note on the issue with an explanation.
These are the reasons why I will remove Firefox Lite.
16.05.2020: Mozilla wants to migrate from Fennec to Fenix. Fennec Beta and Fennec Nightly are already end-of-life and Fennec Release will be soon.
Fennec is being replaced by our new state-of-the-art mobile browser codenamed "Fenix". We're slowly migrating users in order to make sure the experience is as painless and as enjoyable as possible. We started to migrate users who were using Fennec Nightly in January (bug 1608882). It took us several weeks to be sure of the result and to finally offer Fenix Nightly to all users using Fennec Nightly. Another few weeks later, we repeated the same process with Fennec Beta (bug 1614287). Fenix Beta has been offered to the whole Fennec Beta population on April 22nd. We're planning to do the same with Fennec Release sometimes this year. The schedule is still to be determined.
The Google Play Store[1] has a lot of nice features, but it's still pretty basic whenever a software publisher wants to slowly migrate users. Once a migration is started, we can't provide any Fennec updates to the population who wasn't offered Fenix, yet. I can say this restriction is painful to manage for Android developers, Mozilla included. Because of it, we had to stop shipping Fennec Nightly/Beta APKs at the beginning of each migration. This explains the dates of the last builds. At the same time, we stopped building Fennec Nightly/Beta because it enabled us to save technical resources[2] as well as people's time[3].

Use Android Studio to clone and run the app. Nothing special needs to be done.
Since I left F-Droid (and Android/Smartphones) about a year ago, I am looking for a new maintainer to take over. Unfortunately the upstream issue I opened years ago is still not solved in 2019. While Fennec F-Droid is back in the mainline repo and other binary repos do serve Firefox, some might still prefer this updater. So as I said: Maintainers welcome. The main task should be to test the last few merge requests (especially the background update stuff) and release a new version. New Maintainer: https://notabug.org/Tobiwan/ffupdater
FFUpdater -- a simple Android app to update Firefox.
