Firefox 4 Beta for Android was just released and announced by the Firefox team! The beta 1 of Firefox for Android is now available for download from the website.
Awesome! Thanks for the news
force close on htc legend 2.1
29mb DAMN!! i hope it alot better then the last Fennec. downloading now and will update on how it operates on the Hero.
***EDIT***
doesnt work on the Hero
force close on wildfire froyo
Can anyone get this started? It won't run on my ZTE Blade (Android 2.1/MSM7227).
Screenshots would be nice, if anyone can get it running!
Runs on my Moto Droid
A couple of screens as requested:
First run:
Fugly fonts* when zoomed-out:
Crisp fonts* when zoomed-in:
No flash:
Performance was horrible on my Nexus One (Cyanogenmod Nightly clocked at 1036 MHz) and pinch-to-zoom was a kinda wonky compared to the default browser. Haven't tested addons, sync, etc yet and I don't think I will, everything was just too slow to bother. Hopefully they'll improve that and if you're lucky enough it might perform better on your device.
*Note that I'm using the new Ubuntu font instead of the default Droid Sans. Droid Sans might scale better when zoomed, although the Ubuntu font looks ok in the default browser even when zoomed out a lot. Anyway, don't take the font thing too seriously unless someone confirms it.
Hope this helped somehow.
Runs awesome on my vibrant
Layout is similar to dolphin HD with the swipe L/R for settings etc.
Scrolling is a tad glitchy having occasional hang ups
Pinch zooming is good but text takes a few seconds to re-render
Downloads are nicely handled too... I downloaded a 4.4 mb mp3 simply by clicking download no extra menus... It instantly puts a notification up that says it's downloading therm changes to let you know its done
So far so good for beta needs improvement but this is a huge leap from the alpha I tried a few months ago
Sent from my SGH-T959
Edit: found the minimal requirements page.
Not working on my samsung gt i5500 can be hardware requirements not satisfied, I have to search more about it.
Works on my HTC HD2 with Mdeejay FroYo HD v.3.4.
in my hero don't work.
froyo 2.2
when i open the aplication, it close...
I installed the Beta on my Desire without any glitches...However, Firefox 4 takes almost 50MB of the internal space after my first run without visiting any site... using the browser is a pain...Desire slows down by atleast 30% of its original speed... Better with alternate available options...
Running on my Galaxy S, stock firmware.
No flash though, and doesnt run the built-in YouTube player..
Works on my HD2 running mdeejay's Desire Z based ROM; performance is horrible, though.
I really like the idea of having a Firefox-ish experience on my cellphone, as it's my preferred browser on PC as well, but it simply performs too badly for me to consider using regularly at this point.
i cant download from the link in first post
plz somone upload in xda. tanx
why are you guys posting the problems here.
just go to their page and post issues with their browser there.
works with hyperdroid....but still can't play farmville... Hope the final release can play flash

Same here (on an Incredible). 46MB?!?!?! WTF??? Worse yet, despite the fact that I still have 400MB of phone storage, 2GB of sdcard storage, and 2GB of internal storage left, I continued to get the "Low on space" warning after installing FF, and the accompanying inability to install/update anything from the market that comes with this warning. I uninstalled, and all is well again.

Because this is a discussion thread about Firefox 4b for Android, and so we are discussing Firefox 4b for Android.
Epic 4g, it runs okay, I seem to have some rendering problems when creating a new tab. As in the link loads but the page stays blank.
Dolphin, Opera, and SkyFire(Best). Are still all better options currently. This is still beta though....very beta.
As you may know, about half a month ago, the old brand UC Browser and Opera Mini have both recently released new version for Symbian. I have tried them and get amazing experience. The UC Browser 7.4 now looks like a wholly new designed mobile browser. That let me think of Opera Mini 5.1 also subvert its 4.x interface design.
Opera Mini has an interesting function, Speed Dial. With 9 customizable sites directing to any web page. Now UC Browser gives its answer - the renewed navigation different than ever. Not only can I select any site by clicking its icon or title, but also choose my favorite site and put into My Shortcuts(UC's implementation of Speed Dial). My Shortcuts have 8 block, while Speed Dial has 9. While UC Browser has both system of traditional Navigation Bar and Bookmarks, Opera Mini give them all in its Bookmarks. Considering UC Browser is almost the only browser have these site links besides Speed Dial and Bookmark, it keeps me from inputting URL all the time.

The Quick Links design makes a good feature that I can see them both horizon and vertical and quickly find where I want to go. This give more freedom for me. So Opera Mini picks a similar mode to calculate my definition, which depends on my choice.
UC's Navigation
While the navigation bar of UC Browser is becoming navigation square, the Cursor Mode has replaced the Common to become the default Operation Mode, what makes the browser more similar to the desktop browser. At contrast, Opera Mini performs on the desktop view as well as before, because they have the experience of product a real desktop browser.
UC Browser Opera Mini
However, in UC Browser, the cursor mode can be still found at the adaptive view, which is more or less better than ever. Opera Mini has less competitive in that mode, which they call Mobile view. The reason maybe OBML is designed for desktop, and UHTM is designed for mobile. As they say, UC Browser cacan display WML and XHTML directly, but Opera Mini cannot.
UC Browser Opera Mini
After I download the English version, a different starting page is there to choose the region to belong. That means all people in the world now using the same version, and the UC server may detect what sites he want to go.
Opera Mini just released Symbian version several days ago, so it cannot yet be a hard threat to UC Browser, for the latter has many features the former hasn't. For example, the most stable download manager I ever seen on a handset, an uploading system when I access some forum, and so many browser mode, such as Night Mode and the Free Copy function.
Night Mode
Yes, the last one is what I want to emphasize. After some months, the Free Copy comes back to Symbian. Free Copy was a great adventure in UC Browser, but it was once removed from UC Browser 7.2. Now, I can select any part of a web page, and copy to my clipboard, it seems let me copy everything on the web to my phone, so excited! Compared with Opera Mini, whose copy and paste is limited to the operating system, but no pictures and text mashup.
Free copy
Nevertheless, the UC Browser has a new feedback interface, this interface is catching up with its competitors, Opera Bug Report Wizard, which yet cannot be found in Opera Mini.
UC Feedbacks
I'd glad to introduce these two browser to you. If you have just used one of them, you should try the other to find some different things.
Thanks for that review
I still prefer Opera Mobile

Sorry for my bad English .
Hope there was an option that allow users play only 1 Flash content on heavy Flash Page like firefox add-on: flashblock, it's dissable all flash content and when you want to see it, just click on it.
working great so far. wish u can change the color of that highlight that comes up when u move your finger along the screen.
@moisesdc650, if we get enough requests, we'll be able to change the color...I just want to be honest with you... =) In the meanwhile, would you tell me what color you like? ^_^
can you just remove ALL the chinese affiliated links like 3g.qq.com, baidu etc from the address bar?
it clutters and looks very unprofessional.
btw, why would the browser need to have permission to take pictures?
@mystifiyer, thanks for your feedback, the suggested Chinese links will be removed no later than the next release, which is scheduled to be early March. I am working hard to see if we can remove them early and publish another version before next release.
The picture taking feature is one of our very unique features, which allows you to take a picture and save it as your browser avatar, and sync it to your desktop browser. Some users dont find it useful, while many of them like it. Sorry for the confusion, and I hope you can understand our rationale behind it. =)
I'm falling in love with this browse
@ruhmu, thanks....=)
You guys just earned yourself the spot as my default browser. Glad I could help you. Just curious if you could possibly try to improve startup times? It isn't a big deal and it is hard to measure because of the way that android manages tasks but it seems to be a little slow on the initial startup.

Bug Report!
I was browsing a news site and had opened a few tabs (I think 5 were open) and one of them was a review on an app, so I opened Market to try it out. I searched it and hit install, and then switched over to Maxthon to finish reading while it downloaded. Instead of having my tabs open like I left it, it showed the black screen as if I had killed it and it was restarting (I guess the system must've killed it) but then it started into my RSS feeds list and is stuck there now. If I hit the back button on my phone or in the app it goes back to the market instead of going back into the browser.
/edit: I opened it with the icon instead of the task switcher and it opened to my tabs like I had them. So it only gets locked in the RSS reader screen if I try to switch tasks.

Maxthon: You mentioned that Maxthon installs into sdcard if it's 2.2 or higher? But I supposed not.
From the above screenshot, you see that Maxthon is still in my phone memory taking up 3.92MB. A check in my Applications setting also show Maxthon is in phone memory.
If an app is in sdcard, it should look like this...
Notice Miren Browser uses 2.14MB, but that's in my sdcard, so I'm fine.
Maybe you can look into moving Maxthon data into sdcard too?
2.0.1+ (for Dolphin Browser) and 2.3+ (for Dolphin Browser Beta)

Thanks for the share, it's Super Fast, and my browser of choice now.

Does Dolphin5 have GPU acceleration? Only Opera has been having the GPU acceleration and that was why it was so much faster and smoother.
Really love the new version. Might switch from Miren.
Would be nice if the application icon was the same color as the theme when you change it.
I like how the bookmarks and settings are accessed by shifting the webpage left or right. I would like to have more theme options, like a Dark or Honeycomb-like design.
There's one caveat though; webpages kinda re-draw themselves when they are scrolled. They should be fully rendered so the experience will be better.
Loving it on my Droid. Best yet.
But the Honeycomb stock browser still wins because of the Quick Controls. I wish Dolphin would add navigation buttons to the right side slideout menu since there's all that room on a tablet. It'd be just as good as quick controls IMHO.
No text reflow after pinch to Zoom on SGS2.
It was a great function on HTC Devices in Std Browser. Opera mobile also supports this.
Always been my choice of browser.

I would really like to know if this is true.
I would also like to know if there is any truth to Dolphin being an overlay so to speak, with the phone still using the stock engine. Or, if you install (say) Firefox, you get a new engine, from what I hear?
How does it fare speed wise? Any benchmarks yet?
Userscript support?

everything else about the update is great, but i really want to be able to choose my own home page. I hope a future update fixes this......
You can. Or won't it stick? Is it a bug?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
You can set your homepage. There was a bug in the betas preventing that, but it is fixed now.
No GPU acceleration, and it will only be coming to Dolphin on Honeycomb according to what I have read.
To the devs: all of the Dolphin 5 builds have all kept stopping while loading some pages. Not a crash, just stop loading the page. Otherwise, definitely better than the old version, which was great in itself

DESCRIPTIONLucid Browser is a free and open source web browser designed to be small, light, fast, and simple. The app itself is as small as about 4 MB, and the Donate version is only about 2 MB. The browser uses a custom homepage that loads locally for quick start-ups. Although it is small in size, it packs a punch with all the features you would normally see in a mobile browser. For example, you can import bookmarks from other browsers that use file formats of HTML or JSON. The browser also allows for complete management of bookmarks with folder categorization. By default, Lucid Browser uses Ecosia, a project designed to help plant trees. Lucid Browser also comes with many settings and ways to personalize the look. It is easy to use, very handy, and allows you to surf the net with speed.

It's light-weight so it means:
-it won't consume as much RAM as bigger browsers does
-work fast because there are not many elements to load so that CPU can focus on page loading
needs to handle revoked certs
It should not show this page
https://revoked.grc.com.
But it does. You could be among the first to offer secure browser for Android.
Awesome browser man, keep it up.
I'd like to ask if it's possible to add an option to autohide the action bar during navigaton as well as adding the option to display the most visited sites when typing an adress?
A few in the play store have mentioned it in reviews, but the ability to close the browser would be optimal. Currently the only way to get back to the home screen is the home button on my phone. I assume this is intentional, but for full browser replacement on android for me I need a way to exit the program even if it becomes an advanced option in the settings menu. Otherwise very lightweight and intuitive to use and I really like it.
ability to close the app, would be necessary for me too. Otherwise definitely what I need in a browser ???

Amazing... Keep it up.
I would prefer holding the back button to close the browser - or ideally options for making holding do this of course.
I realise this is probably a big ask but Lastpass integration would be nice as well. It pains me and my phone battery that Dolphin (and possibly Firefox ...?) are the only browsers to offer this.
Lovely app BTW, thanks for all the hard work.
Looks good but a couple of feature request.
-Ability to close the app.
-Setting a blank home page
-clearing cache, browsing history,cookies etc when exiting.
Also, swype(keyboard) doesn't show a ".com" on the keyboard which usually works with all browsers. Please check that.
Thanks
Great Browser!
