Firefox browser coming to Android in February?

28 January 2010 by Paul Fang



Not fond of the stock web browser on your Android-powered device?  We have some good news indeed – the first beta version of Firefox for Android (codename Fennec) may just be launching in February.  Firefox is currently one of the most popular online browsers, and this is both a push toward an increasing level of mobile browsing for Firefox as well as their future plans for the Android platform.

It was only a few months ago that Mozilla had expressed interest in an Android port. Readers may note that the Fennec for Android project coincides with the surge in mobile web usage on the Android platform during the last several months.

I think that mobile Firefox has a good chance to dominate the mobile web, which is currently splintered between a variety of mobile operating system and browser flavors.  Until February!

  1. Dolphin browser for Android is still hands down the best.
  2. Dolphin has worked perfect for me. Unless mozilla some how adds flash into it...
  3. This story is not true. The correction on the story has been out for many hours.

  4. The stock browser definitely needs help. It cant even organize bookmarks by itself, and forget having them in folders.

    I'll have to check out that dolphin browser..

  5. I quite like the browser that Cyan includes in his builds, and IF Opera mini 5/Firefox actually release an android browser, it would be good to see this included in his future builds.
