In fact, the sky is the limit really in terms of features if enough developers get excited about Firefox Mobile. There are other features on the horizon that haven't been wholly integrated into the Fennec alpha yet, such as quick dial for phone numbers on Web pages, and more work will be done to support maps and GPS tools. This is another way in which the program optimizes screen space without sacrificing functionality. Instead of displaying tabs underneath the address bar like in normal Firefox, this version stores all your tabs in a hidden area on the left, which again, can be opened by dragging your finger across the screen - this time to the left. Perhaps the feature I like most in Firefox Mobile, is the way it handles tabs. Yes, that's right, Firefox Mobile will be fully extensible, and this version even picks up the add-ons you've got installed in your desktop version of the browser. Here, you can tinker with options for JavaScript, cookies, passwords, etc., as well as managing your plug-ins.

In fact, the only things displayed here other than the web page itself are the large, touch-friendly address bar and bookmarks button.įirefox Mobile avoids clutter by locking its settings in a menu that can only be viewed by dragging the screen to the right. The main window dedicates pretty much the whole screen space to the web page itself rather than placing loads of tools and options on screen. It has everything you can ask for: it is fast, it has a perfectly functional tab system, lots of customization options, and also takes your security into account.Touch-screen users will love the way that Firefox Mobile is organized. You can, for instance, add a website to your favorites by just shaking the device to one side.įirefox Browser for Android is an excellent browser.

The third feature worth mentioning is the adaptation of the keyboard shortcuts to the touch screen.

You can add different extensions, change the general appearance, and make it your own. The second feature is that, as with the computer version, Firefox Browser for Android has many customization options. Naturally, to synchronize it with your computer browser, you first have to log in. The first interesting characteristic of the app is that it lets you see the browsing history, bookmarks, passwords, and even open tabs that you have on your computer browser, all by just doing a couple of gestures on your Android. Its list of features and benefits is long enough to strongly consider using it as the default browser on your phone or tablet. Firefox, one the most important browsers currently available, along with Google Chrome, is now also available for Android devices.
