Mozilla retires its Firefox Lite browser, probably because it wasn't actually all that 'lite'
It's all too easy for applications to grow bloated after years of updates. While extra functionality isn't usually harmful, weighing an app down with useless features defeats the whole purpose if it's designed with performance in mind. Firefox Lite was intended to be a stripped-down version for select markets, but as of June 30, Mozilla has stopped supporting it.
Firefox Lite kicked off its life with an entirely different name: Firefox Rocket. Designed specifically for Indonesia, Rocket was released in 2017 with a focus on running fast while minimizing data usage. A year later, Mozilla changed its name to Firefox Lite to better explain the app's goal (although it flip-flopped back and forth a few additional times until its 2.0 update).
