Mozilla Firefox is one of the most widely used browsers when it comes to home computers. VERY much a HUGE step up from Internet Explorer. When it was first heard that the popular browser was coming to Android, people got excited. As soon as it got out of its beta stage, I really did not hear much about it. I could be wrong and maybe a lot of people tried it out and it was a success, but I never got around to downloading it. With that though, Mozilla has decided to revamp the browser for Android.
So the general look of the browser has not really changed much, but underneath the surface the changes are present. The current XML User Interface Language is no longer there and the native Android code will be taking its place. According to the programmer Mark Finkle, the native Android code will allow the browser to launch in “fractions of a second, versus several seconds,” and he hopes this will use less memory and cut down response time.
Firefox now running like a pure Android app, just might face its challenges to succeed browser magnificence. Anybody see great potential for the direction this browser is going?

I really dig the new style, i also use the new beta on my galaxy tab10, really nice to use! the only downside is, that the browser feels a little slow sometimes, but as i mentioned it’s just a beta!
