Firefox-Updater

An Android app to install and/or update Firefox for Android on your device, without using the Google Play Store.

Shows the currently installed Firefox version (if available) and allows to query Mozilla's releases directory site for the latest Firefox for Android release. It also lets a user start downloading the latest release version.

Currently the app is an activity with a two-button GUI. Checks for and displays the most current available version when the "Check available version"-button is tapped. The "Download Firefox" button starts an intent to download the last version from a URL described in Mozilla's README.txt. However, the plan is to move this to an Android service to perform periodical update checks and download/install from within the app itself.

History

Since Mozilla shut down their FTP server on 2015-08-05, non-playstore updates of Firefox have to be done by third-party apps such as this one.

Mozilla now uses a uniform URL to point to the latest release, see their README for details. The current URL for Android is: https://download.mozilla.org/?product=fennec-latest&os=android&lang=multi

I opened a ticket about non-playstore updates with Mozilla in 2015, as did others:
