Firefox Lite, formerly Firefox Rocket, was a lightweight free and open-source web browser developed by Mozilla Taiwan for Android smartphones and tablets. Initially released only in Indonesia, it was available in various emerging markets. With an APK size of 6.51 MB, it featured Turbo Mode (enabled by default), which blocked third-party content of web pages such as ads and trackers, and a toggle to disable web images, to speed page loads and use less mobile data. In addition, it had a private browsing mode, tabs, night mode, and the ability to screenshot the entire page.{{Cite web|last=Singh|first=Jagmeet|title=Mozilla's Indonesia-Exclusive Browser Rebranded to Firefox Lite|url=https://gadgets.ndtv.com/apps/news/mozilla-firefox-rocket-lite-browser-android-download-features-1893490|access-date=2020-08-28|website=NDTV Gadgets 360|date=August 2018 |language=en}}{{Cite web|title=Mozilla launches fast, lightweight mobile browsing app 'Firefox Lite'|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/lifestyle/tech/2019/mar/13/mozilla-launches-fast-lightweight-mobile-browsing-app-firefox-lite-1950619.html|access-date=2020-08-28|website=The New Indian Express|date=13 March 2019 }}{{Cite web|title=Mozilla Taiwan releases Firefox Lite 2.0 for Android|url=https://www.ghacks.net/2019/11/12/mozilla-taiwan-releases-firefox-lite-2-0-for-android/|access-date=2020-08-28|website=gHacks Tech News|date=12 November 2019 }} It used the built-in Android WebView as the browser engine.
