Firefox for Android gets updated, has a new user interface and now supports Flash

By on June 26, 2012 at 12:05pm in Mobile News


Mozilla promised an update to the Firefox for Android app this week, stating that it’ll be “fast, smart, and safe.” Today the app has been updated, now at version 14.0, and is compatible with OS 2.2 or higher. Mozilla notes that “it’s fast, easy to use and customizable.” The change log says that you’ll see a new start page, a complete overall UI change, and now supports Flash and “significant performance advancements.”

Grab it here from Google Play

  5. Just for what it’s worth in the Canadian mobile space: a significant portion of the development of this version of Firefox was done at Mozilla’s Toronto office!

    • it was released before they could add the support for tablets, in the next version it should work OR you could just download the nightly build and it should work

  11. Is there a difference between this version and the Firefox beta? I’ve tried beta and didn’t like it, too buggy. When I tried to watch video on flash supported player it always signed me out of Skype.

    • Both the stable and the beta versions now have been updated. Try it out, it should be wayyyyy better and smoother :) . Just update the beta and it should be good.

    • That is a planned feature if not already in the development builds (ie. Aurora or Nightly) I believe.
