Have a official F-Droid repository for Mozilla's Android applications

[Fuchsia]

Suggestion: Create a official F-Droid repository for Firefox/Focus/other Mozilla Android applications

Reasoning: Google Play can be slow with updates and not all users have access to Google Play as forks of Android don't have the Google Play Services, so having an official F-Droid repository would allow users with F-Droid or without Google Play to get the official Mozilla Android applications. Mozilla apps would still be on Google Play, and it would allow users more choice in getting their Mozilla apps.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Yes, I would apreciate a F-Droid-Repo aswell !

I know there is the "Fennec F-Droid"-Version on F-Droid but the updates are not as frequently as Firefox Android. Right Fennec F-Droid is 1 major version behind Firefox Android. From security perpective it would be reasonable to have a Firefox Repo for F-Droid.

I still apreciate the work of the publisher of Fennec-F-Droid especially the usability of about:config 🙂

The reason for denial seems understandable for me and Mozilla did not answer to that problem yet AFAIK?

Alternative: Help the maintainer of Fennec F-Droid to publish new versions of Fennec faster. It would be a big win in security aspect.
