Lolz at the "Moving brain ".
Thanks for this detailed explanation. The images make it a lot easier to understand step by step.

Please keep it up.

I would recommend downloading Firefox uploaded by the official developers in the App store of your mobile instead of downloading it from a third-party website to avoid your details/accounts getting compromised. It is not very difficult to edit a software and integrate a Keylogger (https://enterprise.comodo.com/what-is-a-keylogger.php) into it and then upload it to a third-party server and provide the link to people to download and use it. Such practices usually steal information from people costing them money or accounts in general.

I'm not blaming OP since I know what he did here is only to help others and he may have no relation with the link he provided, but I just wanted to let the ones who don't know about such things be careful when they are following something like this any time, whether in mobile or computers.

@OP, I've given you a Merit for at least doing some work taking snaps and all which consumes some time and that is always a good thing if someone spends time for only helping others.

I understand that, and thank you for building me up :)

Ok. All this time I just knew that metamask is only for desktop use so some didn't have this since they're just using smart phones. And yes I'm quite bother in authenticity of the sites, I was wondering if can we use VPN to protect our IP address from being vulnerable in stealing informations. What do you think?

You can just install Firefox directly from the App Store/Play Store. Not sure why OP wants people to use Softonic.

Yes, also me i didn't expect that metamask is possible to install on mobile phone.
That's why i created an experiment or way to install it. I don't think if I'm only one who knows this strategy? And about VPN, i haven't try it yet. But since VPN is an private network or for privacy/security to hide your IP address, i think this is the safest way or to use while browsing the site.(for security)

Actually, there's an option, once you click the link or the highlighted word you'll be redirected here.

Get the app by apk or via google play store.

-sorry for my little bit laziness,  didn't search for the link that would directly on google play store.

Just like what I thought, OP just can't get the link of the app in Play Store that's why s/he used Softonic instead. Softonic is a trusted website to download apps but, not too trusted at all as I can feel something fishy around these third-party links.

Anyway here's the link directed to Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox

Good thread OP.

Thank's bud, for putting some reference to get through directly in play store.
Next time i would gather all information before i making a tutorial or post.
