About this APK

Firefox for Android Beta is an app by Mozilla in the Communication category, listed since at least April 2017. It includes native code only for ARM 32-bit, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.

Since version 55.0, the minimum Android version rose from 4.0.3 to 4.1. It asks for 33 permissions, 9 of them sensitive, including precise location, camera and record audio. Compared with version 55.0, it adds 3 new permissions: “Approximate location”, “Modify audio settings” and “Run foreground services”.
