Hi right now haven't even installed firefox on my device but still it is showing me that firefox is signed in on my device. I RESET my device to default settings but still it's showing firefox as a signed in browser on my google account with this device.

That icon is not a recent copy of Firefox - the icon and branding has been changed over a year ago.

Have you downloaded any apps from outside of the Google Play Store?

I even checked logging in from other google account on firefox and the icon of firefox is still the same.. i don't think this is an issue of icon..

Hi

I looked into this and I think I know what is happening.

This does not show that you have Firefox installed, but that you are signed into your Firefox Account (the one you use to ask a question here) on that device.
