Mozilla Firefox is definitely the worlds most popular web browser as far as Windows OS is concerned but it never gains popularity in the Mobile world. In the world of different mobile operating systems Firefox as a major web browser is no where to be seen. But it do have the version for most popular Mobile OS in the world that is Google Android.
In Android OS Firefox faces stiff competition from Opera. Opera is more popular than Mozilla’s Firefox due to the fact that is supported on older ARM v7 devices also. But Firefox on the other hand is not supported on ARM v7 devices. The other defect in Android Firefox is its stability. Firefox on Android is highly unstable and keep getting closed automatically.
But now everything is different. Mozilla has recently updated their web browser Firefox for Android OS. This includes new look and adds more features to the cores of the system. Some of the features are listed below:
- First and foremost improvement in this new web browser is the support for HTML 5.

- Fixing of different bugs and improved stability.
- smart page feature
- Support for Flash plugin
- Search can be made directly thorough the address bar of the browser
- Support for add on plugins
This new Firefox will not support Android tablets and is meant only for Android smartphones.
