The new Firefox Preview is up to 2x faster than previous versions of Firefox for Android. All you have to do is install the Firefox Preview mobile app and start using it. If you’re curious about new features and like to tinker with technology, your feedback will be invaluable. Like all Firefox products, it will never sell your data for profit. It will combine the speed, privacy, control, and easy-to-use features you have come to expect from Firefox. Built on GeckoView, Firefox Preview is a pilot for early adopters, developers, and anyone who wants to help make a better, more private Firefox for Android.įirefox Preview is the first step in building a better mobile browser: one that’s faster, more secure and more independent than any mobile Firefox browser before it. Although many of the new features are available with plug-ins anyway, this is still a rip-roaring browser and consolidates Firefox’s position as the best browser on the market by miles.Firefox Preview marks a release of the early version for an experimental Firefox browser for Android. Whilst the recently released Internet Explorer 7 is only just introducing tabbed browsing, Firefox 2.0 is already taking internet surfing to a new level. This resulted in frequent crashes, keyboard head-banging and violent swearing. The legendary memory leak also still doesn’t seem to have been fixed as Firefox continues to guzzle processing power. The extension incompatibility issue is the main drawback although this will change as developers update their plugins over the coming weeks and months. The automatic session retrieval option (previously available with the Tab Mix Plus plugin) is also a tonic when your system crashes or you’ve got too many tabs open and Firefox cripples under the strain. One of the most useful features we found was a predictive search function within the Google toolbar that would suggest potential phrases and popular search terms as you typed. Other goodies include enhanced tabbed browsing (each with their own close option finally), the ability to un-close tabs, search plug-in/add-on manager, and much, much more. Amongst the security highlights of 2.0 are anti-phishing support which helps the browser discriminate between genuine websites and those intended to store and retrieve your personal information.
