For a long time I have been a happy user of Firefox Focus. It provides for me the perfect simple private browser to browse the internet when I need it. However, since a few weeks I switched to using the new Jolla Phone (2026) running Sailfish OS as my main phone. Although a working default browses is provided, it does not match Firefox Focus in simple usability. I am able to run Firefox Focus using the Android App Support layer from Sailfish OS, but this does not provide the native experience.

Please provide a Sailfish OS native version of Firefox Focus. I understand the target audience is limited, but at the moment it is the only mature alternative to using Android and iOS. The Jolla and Sailfish OS community would for sure be very appreciative if Firefox Focus would be natively available to them.

For a long time I have been an enthusiastic user of Firefox which has improved greatly over the years.

In my move away from the Hyperscalers I converted the old W10 OS PC into a Fedora 44 Workstation and was very happy to find Firefox as a native app (along with the Proton Suite; Mail, Pass and VPN).

My 'phone is a Jolla C2 which gives me a form of access to Firefox which is good but not quite as good as Fedora version

The Jolla team have done a super job of launching a normal consumer 'phone, the J2, using SFOS and are getting good feedback from new users.    They are now well out of the 'hobbyist' market and the J2 is an answer to a widespread and rising feeling of distrust with iOS and Android.

It would be good if Mozilla could follow the same path with SFOS as they have done with Fedora

First timer here, had to give my 2 cents... I think what Sailfish and Firefox both represent it would make total sense to have native Firefox browser. The native one basically already is as it uses Gecko engine! But currently it is not in the level of real Firefox experience. I really hope that Mozilla could co-operate with Jolla in this matter!
