The Firefox team is moving as quick as a…well, you get the idea. Nearly two months after releasing its latest browser to the masses, the folks at Mozilla have unleashed Firefox 5 for Android as a beta for willing souls who happen upon it in the Market. The latest rendition will hook you up with support for CSS animations, improved canvas and JavaScript performance, and lower memory usage. You’re also going to find Do Not Track included for the first time, which is a privacy setting that prevents other sites from following you around. Otherwise, for a major release, there isn’t a ton of meat — then again, Mozilla’s switched things up a bit by popping out updates on a more frequent basis, making few changes to each one, so anyone feeling a bit underwhelmed should know that the team’s already hard at work on Firefox 6. Head down to the source links to download the beta and learn what’s new.

September 24th, 2010 jedwan Despite its fairly magnificent set of developer tools, webOS still gets the short end of the third-party app stick more often than not for the simple reason that there aren’t many devices in the field, relatively speaking — and considering how late Mozilla is in the mobile browser game, they’ve got bigger fish to fry. Of course, the code underpinning Firefox is open source, so it comes as little surprise that it’s been repackaged into a Pre-friendly form with the aptly-named PreFox. The app’s developer warns that this is more of a proof of concept than anything else, but we’re sure it could get whipped into shape with enough time and effort. Separately, judging from a request for developers, Mozilla proper has started planning for a Symbian build of Firefox Home , its companion app to Firefox that makes transferring bookmarks and open tabs a breeze between your desktop and your phone. Seems like another case of attacking the low-hanging fruit — Symbian’s just about everywhere, and we’re sure Mozilla would like to make its presence known.

August 28th, 2010 admin Well, it looks like you can finally get rid of that less-than-stable pre-alpha release of Fennec (a.k.a. Firefox Mobile) for Android — Mozillla has just released the full alpha release for not only Android (2.0 and later), but the Nokia N900 as well. The big news with this release is an increase in “performance and responsiveness to user actions” (always a good thing), as well as two new features dubbed “Electrolysis” and “Layers,” the former of which lets the browser interface run in a separate process from the one rendering web content, while the latter promises to “greatly improve performance in graphic intensive actions like scrolling, zooming, animations and video.” You’ll also get full support for add-ons, and Firefox Sync built into the browser to let you have a continuous experience as you move between devices. Hit up the link below for the download link, and for a quick video overview of what’s in store. Fennec (a.k.a.

June 1st, 2010 jedwan While we absolutely adore our Nexus One — now that it’s got a bellyful of that fabulous frozen yogurt — one of the most exciting Android additions shown off at Google I/O isn’t actually slated for Froyo: the ability to push apps and music over the air from computer to phone. The underlying framework apparently is, though, and thus a bite-sized version of the functionality is already available at Google Code. If you’re one of the lucky few running Android 2.2, you can get an extension for Chrome and Firefox web browsers that will let you push URLs, Maps and YouTube video links direct to your device using a Google Account. You can think of it as an early foray into a Continuous Client , perhaps, sharing with yourself before you head to a business meeting. Better yet, share an account with a group of friends and push interesting items to everyone on the go. See how (and see it in action) right after the break.

May 27th, 2010 admin Continuous client functionality , you say? Sounds like Mozilla might be just what the doctor ordered. The company has announced that its upcoming Firefox Home app is coming soon to the iPhone. The program will sync up with your desktop client so that you can go mobile with all your browsing history, bookmarks and “the set of tabs from [your] most recent browser session” going along for the ride. Not only that, but there’s an “Awesome Bar” — Mozilla’s words, not ours — that’ll let you search through everything and predict options based on the available data. While not a “full” Firefox browser, according to the blog post (with the addendum, “either technically or due to policy”), the pages still load from within the app itself. No solidified release date yet — it’s still being polished for app store submission, but Opera’s luck give us hope for a smooth approval. In the meantime, you can get a quick preview in the video after the break.

April 30th, 2010 jedwan The N900 already features one of the best pocket browsing experiences we’ve ever seen, but it looks to be getting a whole lot better today with the beta release of Firefox 1.1. Major new features include portrait browsing (awesome), form auto-complete, a context menu, volume key zoom, and — this is pretty neat — the capability to save pages straight to PDF, so it seems like the kind of thing you’ll definitely want to download, even if it’s not quite solid enough to earn gold build status. Oh, and if you don’t have an N810 or N900 handy and you’re amped to play around, you can download the little guy for Windows, Mac OS, or Linux, too.

April 14th, 2010 jedwan WebKit’s all well and good, but every once in a while there’s a reason why you’ve got to pull out the Old Standby, right? Once reserved for the Maemo Elite , Firefox is slowly spreading from pocket to pocket, and webOS is mercifully the latest to get hooked up. We don’t know the full backstory here yet — it looks like you can’t download a user-friendly package right now — but this’ll undoubtedly be a good option when the Pre’s in-built browser simply won’t do. It’s not an official port we’re looking at, but let’s be honest: the community does a better job half the time, right?
