Firefox Focus is intended for short browser sessions on Android and iOS. You will open a website without the extensive organization of a full desktop browser and can quickly delete your session. Built-in protection limits different forms of tracking.

Focus fits well with links you want to look at without keeping them in your regular browser history. For a large set of tabs, extensive synchronization or a complete working environment on your computer you need another browser.

Compare Firefox Focus with alternatives

For your phone, operation, supported operating systems and data retention are more important than a long list of desktop functions. A browser that quickly erases sessions is less focused on a permanent archive of tabs. Data compression can save on traffic, but it also changes the way pages are loaded.

Version history

155.0.1 (Android)

You get Android 155.0.1.

This maintenance edition is part of the Firefox and Focus series 155 for Android. The iOS app uses its own version number; therefore do not compare it directly with this Android release.
156.0 (Android)

You can update Firefox Focus for Android to release 156.0.

  • This version number belongs to the Android app. It is not the version number of Firefox Focus for iOS.
  • Mozilla does not divide the changes for this Focus release into a separate public modification list. The functions of Firefox 156 for desktop therefore do not automatically apply to this app.

Our verdict

Firefox Focus has a clear goal: you want to look up something and then clean up the local traces of that session. The limited interface fits well with that. You don't have to manage all kinds of settings or tab groups before opening a separate link.

As a fixed browser for everything, Focus is less obvious. You just miss a part of the permanent organization that is useful for long-term browsing. Therefore, use it next to your regular browser. Remember that erasing is mostly about data on your phone; it doesn't make what you do on a logged-in website invisible to that website.
