Several days ago I downloaded ff from Google Play (as navigated to by a button at Mozilla site) for my Galaxy S4. I was initially using the Android browser. After installation, I chose 'Open' and ff opened and I navigated to Google, entered a search, got a legitimate hit list, but all attempts to navigate to hits were redirected to bogus locations. I immediately uninstalled ff. There were no addons. Is there a way I can install directly from Mozilla vs. Google Play?

Hi to download versuons og firefox you may have to play around with that link and the directories. There are security risks by doing this that way and i recomend downloading over a swcure network from the play store. https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/25.0.1/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2025.0.1.exe
