Howdy, Is there any direct download link to get Firefox for Android? I never download and install from markets, specially Google. Thank you.

What you pick depends on the cpu you have in device as in ARMv7, ARMv6 or Intel Atom. Good chance you will need the build from /android/ folder which is for ARMv7 cpu and then pick your language apk.

Thanks, my CPU is Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A5 (HTC Desire 500). So this CPU matches which version?

We would rather you use the self updating Aurora builds if you are going to download apks directly. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/aurora/

The release and beta builds do not check for updates and you will miss out on new features and security updates.

James, thanks, but where did you got the link from? So for every new release I can get from there?

Your phone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 MSM8225Q which is a ARMv7 cpu yes.

Yes you can get the new releases from there however as mentioned installing the Releases this way does not get software updates like with desktop Firefox does. If you get the Release from Google Play there would be updates.

Hi Omid

You can monitor that index page address by entering http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/26.0.1/android/en-US/

Really the better directory is http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/latest/android/multi/ as that will always point to the most current release.
