How do I remove Firefox from my Android smartphone? The Firefox browser is a lot slower than the browser this UMX smartphone came with.

Hi

I am sorry to hear that. It may help if you open the Android Settings app, select Applications, find Firefox and clear the cache (not data!).

If you do still wish to remove Firefox for Android from your device, all you need to do is ling press on the app icon and drag it to the "uninstall at the top of the screen.

I hope you can come back and try Firefox for Android again soon.
