BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): The Firefox browser for Android has a hidden menu called “Secret Settings,” which gives access to settings that don’t appear in regular settings. The resource brings advanced customization options, debugging tools and a mini game that works without internet access. Furthermore, the browser has thousands of extensions, with a library of more than 14 thousand add-ons.

Similar to the Developer Options of the Android system itself, Secret Settings unlocks advanced settings and debugging options to customize the browser as the user desires. You can, for example, adjust connection routing, modify navigation, install external extensions, and test experimental features before public release.

It is worth noting that Secret Settings options change over time and can be removed by Mozilla. For example, the menu already allowed you to customize the search bar by hiding recent searches and trending suggestions, but these selectors were removed in more recent updates.

To access Firefox’s secret settings, follow the steps below:

Tap the Firefox logo five times in a row until the message “Debug menu enabled” appears on the screen;

Go back to settings to find the “Secret Settings” section.

The menu is only available until Firefox is closed and opened again. To access it later, just repeat the procedure.

If any changes cause visual errors or problems, open Secret Settings and select Reset switches to default at the bottom of the page. The option restores secret menu settings without changing common browser preferences.
