Firefox Beta for Android Updated – Bug Fixes and Stability, Flash Support Still Going Strong
Sliding in just before their “big” announcement at Google I/O, Firefox Beta has been updated for Android devices. Update: Although Mozilla’s changelog lists Flash as new to this update, apparently it was added last month. We do know that app was updated on the 22nd with the usual bug fixes that for some, add stability (but still no copy/paste functionality).
The UI for Firefox Beta has also been redesigned although, and although a bit of an eyesore, it’s supposed to be more intuitive. Mozilla is also touting the new Firefox Beta as faster than the stock Android browser but I guess you’ll have to try it and see for yourself.
When it comes to Flash, keep in mind pre-ICS Tegra 2 devices and tablets are not supported in this version. Oh, and Mozilla has updated the minimum requirements to Android 2.2+ devices for an “optimal experience.”
Seeing as how Firefox Beta for Android was just updated a few days ago, I have a feeling Mozilla has something completely different up their sleeves for I/O. B2G perhaps? No saying for sure, but we’ll keep you updated. You can find the newest version of Firefox Beta via the link below. Let me know if you’ve noticed any stability improvements.
