Built on the same browser engine as Firefox 3.6 for the desktop, the new mobile Firefox comes packed full of your favorite features like the Awesome Bar, Add-ons, Weave Sync and Location-Aware Browsing.
What’s new?
Easy Navigation to Web Content
Awesome Bar: The Smart Location Bar, or "Awesome Bar"
is even more awesome on a mobile device. The Awesome Bar
gets you to your Web destination with minimal typing,
by intelligently searching the names, URLs and tags
of the sites you visit, and takes into account how often
and recently you visit them. With Weave Sync,
the Awesome Bar will also search the
Web history from Firefox on your PC
Easy access to many search engines:
Type your search term right in the Awesome Bar
to search Google. Or send your search to another
search engine (Wikipedia, Amazon.com, Twitter)
with one touch. Customize with the search engines of your choice.
Touch Interface Optimization
Touch-oriented UI: Firefox's touch-enabled
interface allows you to swipe left to view
your controls (bookmark, go backward and forward,
access your browser tools, like Add-ons,
preferences and downloads) and swipe
right to view your open tabs
View without obstructions: The browser controls
and Awesome Bar get stowed away when you reach
your website so you can use the whole screen
to view the site. Start to pan up or to the
sides and your controls and Awesome Bar reappear
Quick zoom: Double tap on the screen to zoom in,
double tap to zoom back out
One-touch bookmarking: Bookmark a Web site in one touch,
along with the ability to tag it with a memorable term
Tabbed browsing: Thumbnails of your open tabs easily identify your open pages.
Seamless Synchronization
Weave Sync: Create a Weave Sync account on your PC
and install the Weave Sync add-on on your mobile
to synchronize your Firefox tabs, passwords,
history and bookmarks between your PC and mobile
Less typing: Access Firefox for mobile’s Awesome Bar
and visit any site you’ve ever been to,
regardless of which computer you visited it on,
with just a couple keystrokes
Don't start from scratch: Weave Sync
brings along your saved passwords
from your desktop, removing barriers to your favorite sites
Get up and go: Take your Firefox with you wherever you go.
Surf the Web on your PC, get up and go,
and have everything waiting for you
on your phone -- even your open tabs.
A Personalized Experience
Add-ons: Firefox is the first mobile
Web browser to support add-ons.
You can discover and install useful
extensions for your browser directly from your mobile device
Location-Aware Browsing: Be a local wherever
you are. Get maps and info relevant to your
location. Its all optional– Firefox doesn’t
share your location without your permission–
and is done with the utmost respect for your privacy.
Private and Secure
Instant Web site ID ("Larry"): Tap on a site
favicon for an instant identity overview
Password manager: Typing passwords on your phone is hard,
so why do it more than you have to?
Choose to remember site passwords and
forget ever having to endure long and difficult typing
Popup blocker: Banish pop-ups from your surfing experience once and for all
Clear private data: As an extra security measure,
you can clear all your private data via your Preferences
Customized security settings: Customize settings for passwords,
cookies, loading images and installing add-ons
for a fully empowered mobile browsing experience
Automated Update: Install upgrades directly to your device
when you receive an automatic notification, or wait until you’re ready.
Productivity
Preferences pane: Go to your Preferences in one touch.
From here, manage your plugins and security settings,
as well as access your Downloads Manager and Add-ons Manager
Download manager: Download files seamlessly and securely.
The manager shows your download progress and lets you
search your files by name or the Web address where the download came from
Spell checker: Catch typos and misspellings in form fields.
