New Firefox for Android Beta is Ready for Testing

A new Firefox for Android Beta is now available for download and testing. This beta has a redesigned look that blends in with the Android user interface, performance enhancements and support for third-party plugins like Flash for a better mobile browsing experience.

Firefox for Android Beta has all of the features you know and love like Firefox Sync, add-ons and tabbed browsing, plus a new Awesome Screen and enhancements to startup and response time, graphics performance and panning and zooming.

We are always working on a beta here at Mozilla, but this one is special because we?ve done a lot of extra work to add features, improve performance and address things that make mobile browsing faster and easier.
