As well as changes to the user interface and many new features that have thrown some users, it is also missing support for all extensions. This new stable version is what appeared on people's devices. Moz has slowly rolled out the result of its work to netizens in preview and beta form - and since the end of July, as a proper release: version 79. For over a year, Mozilla has been working on an overhaul of its browser in a project code-named Fenix. What's happened is this: the last stable version of Firefox for Android was version 68, released in 2019. 'My main gripe is that there is no back button (to return to your previous page) anymore.' 'This is the worst 'upgrade' I've ever experienced,' said netizen Martin Lindenmayer. 'A lot got broken in the process: the user interface, tabs, navigation, add-ons.' Meanwhile, the Google Play store page for the completely free and open-source Firefox has a rash of one-star reviews echoing similar complaints: after the upgrade, little seemed to work as expected.

'To sum it up, on 20th of August, Firefox 79 was unexpectedly forced on a large batch of Firefox 68 Android users without any warning, way to opt out or roll back,' our reader reported. From the report: A Reg reader yesterday alerted us to an August 20 version bump that was causing so many problems, our tipster thought it was a beta that had gone seriously awry.

According to The Register, this was a deliberate software release and is the new version of Firefox for Android, which is set to hit the UK today, August 25, and the U.S. Today, Mozilla launched the updated Firefox Android app with a version that many thought was a beta because it was full of bugs and UI issues.
