The most popular internet browser for PC, Mozilla Firefox had landed to Android browser field quite a few times ago. But to be honest, I didn’t like the Mobile version of Firefox with previous releases. It was slow, buggy and also not to interactive. Mozilla kept their fan waited for long to have a quality release but seems like it’s now paid of. Just by the end of 2011, Mozilla updated Firefox Mobile which is truly a brilliant edition to Mozilla’s showcase. It is much faster than it’s Beta version. It also offers the user a wide list of search engines to choice. However, it still lacks of various important options and features that should include in the upcoming versions. The user does not have the option of shortcuts, icons or a cool UI - as we see in Opera Mini or Dolphin Browser, yet a mark that Mozilla is working hard on it. Details to follow.
The first thing to note when using the new version of Firefox is it has gained lots of speed comparing to the beta. The browser works better and uses less memory on your smartphone or tablet. The webpages displays as full screen with the emphasis on content.
To access options, slide the screen to the left. A sidebar appears, allowing you to navigate forward, back or check your favorites. By clicking on the settings, you will have access to search options. Google, Yahoo and Wikipedia is listed as search engine by default. You can also be able to add new custom search engine. Enter the text to search for and then click the engine you want to use.
You can sync your information with the your computer. To do this, enable the Sync on your computer browser. Then go to Preference and put the code (that was given to you from your computer) to add it to the desktop. Now, you can view your pages open on your computer and phone at the same time.
All pages can be saved as PDF and Firefox offers a unique option for downloads made by you - the example of what happens in the desktop version. To zoom, just tab on the device screen.
Firefox Mobile is available for free in Android Market.
