Due to the Firewall of our government, we Chinese couldn't download Firefox Android on Google Play Store without violating the law. And, neither Github nor F-droid provides the service for users in China to download the app directly.

How could we download it?

Fenix is the internal code name for Firefox for Android.

You can also download Firefox for Androad apk's from https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/fenix/releases/ https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/fenix/releases/115.2.1/android/

They just moved it to https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-android and on page it says "This repository hosts the Firefox for Android (Fenix), Focus for Android, and Mozilla Android Components projects."

Thanks for answering!

I know this website, but it only provides the download of Fenix (115.2 version), not the latest version of Firefox Android.

(Please note that the Firefox Android is form https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-android , not https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix)
