Mozilla Launches a Speedy and Powerful Upgrade to Mobile Browsing with

  Firefox for Android

As a pioneer of the Web, Mozilla unlocked the Web experience on the

desktop with Firefox and we are doing it again in mobile. We’re proud to

announce a new Firefox for Android is now available for download

in

the Google Play store. The new Firefox for Android is a snappy and

dynamic upgrade to mobile browsing that makes it faster and easier to

get where you want to go on the Web.

*Super Fast*

We redesigned Firefox for Android to make it a screaming fast and

personalized upgrade to mobile browsing that lets you take your Web

experience everywhere you go. You’ll notice dramatic performance

improvements that make Firefox on your Android phone super fast with

everything from startup and page load times to panning and zooming and

Web app performance when you just want to play Mozilla’s BrowserQuest

game with your friends.

Firefox for Android is significantly faster than the stock browser that

ships on Android phones according to the leading industry benchmarks,

such as Sunspider. In addition, we developed a new benchmark, called

Eideticker, that measures the actual user Web experience and we built

Firefox for Android to it, yielding an experience that is two times

faster than the stock browser.

*Upgrade to Mobile Browsing*

Firefox for Android has a fresh, streamlined look with a personalized

start page that saves you time getting where you want to go on the Web.

The new Awesome Screen powered by Firefox Sync delivers all your

browsing history, bookmarks, passwords and form data to your Android

phone. We also optimized your favorite features like tabbed browsing,

Firefox Sync and Firefox Add-ons to deliver the best mobile browsing

experience possible.

Firefox for Android supports Flash so you can watch videos, play games

and interact with more Web content on your Android phone.

Based on the same open technology platform as the desktop version of

Firefox, Firefox for Android offers the highest level of privacy and

security features in mobile browsing. Firefox respects your privacy and

protects your security with features like Do Not Track, Master Password,

HTTP Strict Transport Security and more

.

*Upgrade to the Web Platform*

New HTML5 capabilities in Firefox for Android enable developers to

create rich Web apps and websites based on HTML5, JavaScript, CSS and

other open Web standards. As the advocate for the Web, Mozilla exposes

new Web APIs

and

submits them to standards groups to move the Web forward as a platform.

Among the standards that Mozilla helped build are Camera API, Vibration

API, Mobile Connection API, Battery Status API, Screen Orientation API

and Geolocation API.

You can play Mozilla’s HTML5 BrowserQuest multi-player role playing game

across desktop and mobile Web experiences to see just how powerful, fast

and fun the Web can be.
