- I'm not sure when you guys changed the ui, but it is beautiful now. Way better than it used to be. I mean seriously wow. It has to easily be the most visually impressive mobile browser. Hopefully the desktop version can catch up. One suggestion I would have is to change browser sync to be based of of logging into the browser instead of the code system used now (unless of course patents are in the way of implementing that). It would help the many Android users who use custom ROMs. Great work Mozilla!
- I've been with the up and downs of the Firefox project. These guys have come a long ways from when they start with forking netscape, and soon these guys will be launching there own phone. With my Nexus 7 it runs great and take full advantage of the hardware specs. Even after the 4.2 update they fixed the crashing issue. Give this browser a try. Plus give the sync a try. It makes life so much easier. Great job guys and good luck!!!
- I have always loved Mozilla. Even way back when it was only on Linux. I was also one of the first to use Firefox. The changes they have made I never disliked because I could change it back. Using it now on my S III finally. My other phone was not supported. The only thing that would be awesome are the addons. As far as I can tell they have no support for those. Not a big deal though. I love Mozilla and always will.
- I just installed the latest update for Firefox. I have downloaded a thousand audio files to my phone, but now I cannot. Before, I would just long press the radio link, then press OPEN LINK IN NEW TAB in the menu, and the audio file would immediately download, but now the file just starts playing in an unknown player. Please fix so I can again download audio files to my phone. I use orbit with Firefox.
- Great browser, does everything I need and I can't remember it crashing over the several months I've been using it. Some of the mobile only browsers didn't have the stability. As a late arriver to the smartphone scene I found the transition from the desktop version relatively easy. The Mozilla Foundation is very active in keeping the web free, another reason to support this company.
- I love Firefox for my computers, and now that it's on my phone also is even better. It was so easy to sync with my computer's bookmarks making life easy to find my favorite sites, and when I bookmark something on my computer it automatically gets bookmarked on my phone to. All in all a great app would definitely recommend to a friend or someone who uses Firefox on their computer
- Been using Firefox on the PC for years but was unhappy with the mobile version and ended up using dolphin for quite a while. Dolphin has become painful to use with being slow and locking up and I was blaming my tablet. Tried Firefox again recently and it has been nearly perfect. It is finally there. Firefox all the way around now (PC, tablet, phone) as it should be.
- I have been using firefox since version 2 and I have to say it went through some teething issues, but the latest versions are almost what you would expect from a modern browser. Just love the android version. Thanks be to you guys at mozilla!
- This Is By Far The Most Best Web Browser I've Ever Used! But One Thing Though Can You Guys Make It More HD,Like Optimize It For High End HD Devices? That Would Be Really Nice And Everyone Would Appreciate It Alot. ^_^
- I love FF on my laptop and I love it just as much on Android (Droid Razr). Never a problem with pop-ups or slow connections either. I love that my bookmarks are easy to make/find, and that web pages open in a flash.
