Cleaned up the Google Play link to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox&campaign=www.mozilla.org&adgroup=mobile-android-page. The page shows that the app is installed but not available for my device!! I suspect that the Mozilla Firefox version last installed on my cellphone was auto updated yesterday night and the latest browser version is not supported on my old device. Now the question is how do I reinstate last working Firefox version? Thanks

Hi

Firefox for Android has not been available for devices running Android 4 for almost two years - we no longer support that platform.

There were no Android Firefox Releases 69.0 to 78 and the Fx 79.0 to current Fx 100.0 Releases requires Android 5.0 or later.
