Description by UserLAnd Technologies(from Google Play)

What is FoxBox?
FoxBox is not Firefox itself and is not a Mozilla project, but instead is a compatibility layer that sets up a Linux desktop Firefox build, launches it, renders it and provides a way to interact with it.
What features does it provide? *Web page rendering *Standard desktop Firefox extensions *Built-in file manager. Can interact with files on sdcard, after you give it permissions. *Developer tools. *Sound support. *Etc
How to Use FoxBox?
Use it just like normal. But here are some specifics to the app. * Tap with one figure to click. * Pinch to zoom. * Slide to fingers up and down to scroll. * If you want to bring up a keyboard, tap on the screen to get a set of icons to appear and then click the keyboard icon. * Hold and slide one finger to pan (useful when zoomed in). * If you want to do the equivalent to a right click, tap with two fingers. * If you want to change the scaling or the dns settings, find the service android notification and click the settings. You have to stop and restart the app after changing these settings for them to take effect.
Why Use FoxBox?
Desktop Firefox has a different set of features than the Android mobile app. Also, websites behave different when opened in a desktop browser vs a mobile browser (even when you say you want the desktop version of a website).

FoxBox is fully open source with the source code posted on github: https://github.com/CypherpunkArmory/FoxBox

Once you get the hang of it it does work really well, far better than any of the other apps I tried. My laptop was stolen, and I needed devtools on mobile. It is by no means a laptop replacement, but I am able, with some effort, to achieve the task I have been trying to do with many other apps. Thank you to the devs.

I am able to use it to ssh into a digital ocean droplet to then ssh into my computer at home from any public Wi-Fi with my phone thanks to this. I can use all the essential keyboard keys for interacting with tmux and auto completing with zsh. It is awesome. I am still learning how to use it. For instance, I haven't figured out how to use my phone's clipboard to copy and paste between different apps yet, but I am sure I will figure that out eventually.

I'm using it for MIT App inventor. Thanks to Fox Box I have a desktop mouse and keyboard within Firefox which makes it possible to use all the functionality in App inventor (mouse menu, keyboard) on my Android phone.
★☆☆☆☆Jesse Racine· Dec 30, 2023
It's interesting, but the version of Firefox it uses is close to 4 years old. Is there a way to update the version?
★★☆☆☆S.T. McCrory· Nov 7, 2025
This app seems to have been abandoned by its creators, unfortunately. It is Firefox ESR 78 running on a very, very minimal Debian Buster shell (as of writing, Firefox is version 144). Debian Buster went EOL 3 years ago. I'd be very cautious in using it as-is. That being said, the concept is great - a full desktop Firefox - so if you do need a desktop FireFox version on your phone/tablet and don't mind the version being so old then this might be useful.
