Firefox Beta for Android

Posted October 8, 2010 at 6:00 am by Captainkrtek

Mozilla just launched the Firefox 4 Beta 1 for Android and Maemo devices. Thanks to XDA member dadyal for pointing this out to us. The app codenamed “Fennec” is now available for download from Mozilla’s site. Finally, as the sites slogan states, you can “Take your Firefox anywhere”. The browser features:

Browser based Add-ons
Personalized Start Page
the “Awesome Screen” – Access to history/bookmarks/favorite search engine
Simple and Clean UI and Touch Friendly
Highly responsive
Pinch to Zoom (Android)
Tabbed browsing
Location Aware Browsing
Share Pages via Social Networking sites
Password Manager

And much much more! This browser is sure shaping up to be a grand mobile browsing experience for your Android Smartphone. After personally testing this on my Motorola Droid, I found it to be very responsive and will now be using it as my main browser. To go give it a try, checkout the download page, release notes, supported devices, and the discussion thread.
