Firefox 4 Beta For Android
Set up nicely for tablet use
Mozilla released the latest beta for Firefox 4 on Android and Maemo and the browser is well positioned for the army of tablets about to hit the market. Mozilla said its latest mobile Firefox version is available. In many respects, Mozilla has been an also-ran on the mobile front, but is playing catch up quickly as Android grows.
Firefox 4 Beta for Android
As advertised, the latest version is more stable and relatively easy to use. The previous version was rough on performance and stability. The Web pages render nicely and add-ons could give Firefox on Android some appeal.
Mozilla requires a long sync key that can be a hassle on a phone keyboard. Once set up though, the shared bookmarks enabled by Sync made Firefox 4 well worth the effort.
Here’s why Firefox 4 for Android is going to be a tablet story:
- There are a bevy of Android tablets about to hit the market.
- Firefox’s features—mobile add-ons, Sync and tabbed browsing—would really shine on a larger screen.
- Coordinating your desktop and mobile browsing experiences will simply matter more on a tablet.
