There are currently 3 Firefox browsers on Android

1. Firefox: end-of-life browser built on legacy Firefox engine

2. Firefox Preview: work in progress, soon to replace the old Firefox, rebuilt from scratch on new engine

3. Firefox Focus: a minimal/reduced/simplified browser first developed to pilot the new engine

Klar is just the German name for Focus.



There are more than these 3.

For example Firefox Lite: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.ro...


Thanks for this. I'd never heard of "Firefox Lite".

It appears to be an "Emerging Market Experiment" run by Mozilla Taiwan[0]

It also appears to be heavily based on or be a fork of Firefox Focus/Klar[1]

Thank you for this factual and definitive comment. It's essentially required reading for this thread.
