Mozilla Launches Firefox 4 for Android
Mozilla today released Mozilla Firefox 4 for Android featuring an intuitive interface, customization and support for modern Web technologies.
Firefox provides secure access to personal data across desktop and mobile devices, including browsing history, bookmarks, open tabs, form data and passwords.
Firefox is available from the Android Market and for download on Maemo devices. Firefox for mobile is offered in more than 10 languages.
Firefox for mobile minimizes typing with features like tabbed browsing, bookmarks, add-ons and Firefox Sync.
