Firefox Focus for Android

Browse like no one’s watching. The new Firefox Focus automatically blocks a wide range of online trackers — from the moment you launch it to the second you leave it. Easily erase your history, passwords and cookies, so you won’t get followed by things like unwanted ads.

Firefox Focus provides automatic ad blocking and tracking protection on an easy-to-use private browser.

local.properties helpers

You can speed up or enhance local development by setting a few helper flags available in local.properties which will be made easily available as gradle properties.

Building debuggable release variants

Nightly, Beta and Release variants are getting published to Google Play and therefore are not debuggable. To locally create debuggable builds of those variants, add the following to <proj-root>/local.properties:

debuggable

Auto-publication workflow for application-services and glean

If you're making changes to these projects and want to test them in Focus, auto-publication workflow is the fastest, most reliable way to do that.

In local.properties, specify a relative path to your local glean and/or application-services projects. E.g.:

• autoPublish.glean.dir=../glean
• autoPublish.application-services.dir=../application-services

Once these flags are set, your Focus builds will include any local modifications present in these projects.

See a demo of auto-publication workflow in action.

Pre-push hooks

To reduce review turn-around time, we'd like all pushes to run tests locally. We'd recommend you use our provided pre-push hook in quality/pre-push-recommended.sh. Using this hook will guarantee your hook gets updated as the repository changes. This hook tries to run as much as possible without taking too much time.

To add it, run this command from the project root:

ln -s ../../quality/pre-push-recommended.sh .git/hooks/pre-push

To push without running the pre-push hook (e.g. doc updates):

git push <remote> --no-verify
