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.

Dolphin Browser HD v5.0 is released to Market. Guys

HI, Dolphin Browser HD v5.0 has released finally to the Android market. I have been waiting for such a long time, although that I have used their 4 betas.
I can notice that they have made much progress in the UI, settings and the performance (fix many bugs).
First, I like the smooth tab bar. It’s better to let the tab bar stay on top and hide the address. But it’s ok now. If themes are installed, the bar color are changed. That’s great for me.
Second, they have done much work on the Quick menu. Bookmarks, history, settings, add-ons, themes and gesture are included in the Quick menu. The background color has kind of texture.
Last but not least, I can successfully browser most websites without FC or hanging. It means that their performance has been much improved. It almost closes to perfect.
So download it, I’m sure you wouldn’t regret. LOL.

Been using the betas and now the final myself.
Bravo Dolphin, great work.
I don't browse the web that much on my phone but from my experiences so far with betas, this is the best browser out there at the moment.

not as fast as th trusted opera mini, and it's ability to sync bookmarks with any phone I use. I know on opera mini the speed compromises the quality, but opera is way faster than any other browser in my opinion.

I loved Opera for its speed and usability, however I never liked how it handled flash content, or the fact that it doesn't.
Not always having the default web site was a negative for me as well.

mini dolphin is faster than the hd one.
thats why im on mini.

I switch between Opera, Opera Mini, Dolphin and Dolphin mini all the time. Just can't make up my mind.
I am liking HD 5.0 though.

Sweet gonna go try this browser

The biggest change is there is no google inserted Ads any more,
There is no need to buy Dolphin license to block Ads.

Well, This browser is really better then the ones that comes normally with android?
And if yes, what special does it have?

[App] UC Browser 7.9 Released - More Awesomwness

UC Browser, facing tough competition from Opera Mini, Bolt and perhaps many other browsers, is no doubt constantly improving and taking steps forward to a better browsing on mobiles. It has evolved from just a crap browser with a great download manager to an excellent browser. Perhaps UC Browser is the most feature rich mobile browser till date. While some may argue it lacks javascript support, Opera Mini also don't. And it is not possible to provide javascript on low end phones. On high end phones like Android, it supports javascript though. I must say it provides much smoother mobile browsing experience that you can enjoy on the go always.

UC Browser 7.9 - Smooth your browsing
Each release of UC Browser always earns a lot of amzing things. Now with the 7.9 for Java/Symbian, UC is concentrating itself to solve the main problems of users and improve user experience palways. I think that’s why UC Browser already has 200 million users around the world and keeps attracting new users every day. Let’s experience the new 7.9 release by ourselves.
Taking care of your eyes- Auto Notification between night mode and day mode
UC Browser is more than a browser, taking care of your eyes. It notices u to switch ‘Day mode’ and’ Night mode’ intelligently according to the time. Everything UC has done is for taking care of users.
Browsing whenever and wherever - More powerful bookmark management
Plenty of people are anxious about the missing of their bookmark they’ve collected for a long time. Now the bookmark backup feature comes to rescue. Now you can save them to your memory card and never miss them again.
Filling the Laguage gap
Users of UC Browser are still increasing and covered 145 countries, 200 million. UC Browser tries its best to take care each users with different languages.
Language pack for Java, You can select language during installation.
More than English and Russian, Arabic, Farsi and Urdu are also supported. In the near future, more number of languages will be supported.
More changes and bug fixes
Fixed access connection timeout error : Fixed timeout problem during webpage browsing.
Fixed image loading failure: Fixed timeout error in loading image.
Optimized Cache management: Cache will be adjusted automatically. You don’t need to reset and clear Cache manually anymore.
Make your eyes more colorful: More Picture formats are supported. The new WebP image is near 40% smaller than jpeg image of similar quality.
That’s what UC Browser 7.9 for Symbian /Java brings to us. Let’s look forward to more

I'm in.....worth a shot at least.

I've always liked this browser. Even when it was buggy as hell back in my Windows Mobile days it still was great for downloads. I'll give this new version a shot. Thanks!
Edit: It seems the Android Market still lists version as 7.8, which I already have installed.

Play Android Games on your Pc With BlueStacks Beta 1

I posted in the 3d forum, but will re-post for all here:http://bluestacks.com/
BlueStacks' NEW Android App Player for PC. Run android apps on Windows PC.
BlueStacks just opened its Beta doors a few days ago.
If you own a Window’s anything (laptop or desktop), you MUST try out BlueStacks App Player.
It is not slow and jerky like phone emulators or like Amazon’s virtual playground for some apps in its appstore.
Of course, not every app will work with BlueStacks, but SO MANY of them do. It is worth playing with.
Your Phone Will Sync All The Favs!
Another great perk is that you can link your phone to the app player on your laptop or desktop with their Cloud Connect app.
This app installs on your Android phone and allows you to pick and choose which apps from your phone you want synced to your desktop.
You will have access to the Amazon AppStore and Get Jar and a few other appstores right out of the gate.

Nope, that is a draw back. Hopefully they will fix it when it goes live.

that would be awesome on windows 8 with a touch screen monitor, some hardware maker should bundle this with their touch laptop or windows 8 tablets as they will auto inherit 1000's of touch apps or an android vendor should integrate with their android pc suite like samsungs kies if it ever gets fixed
seriously

Wow looks amazing. Does it have a good framerate?

running full speed HD games on a mediocre windows 7 PC here

I like this, it makes it look like a tablet. Hopefully a future update is to make it look like ICS rather than Gingerbread.
A nice feature I found out accidentally was that if you have a webcam plugged into you computer then you can use the camera app to take pics with it.

Wow, sweet!

The ARM emulation can be a bit slow, not optimal for running games. It will virtualize anything it can in x86, but most games are ARM only.
Bluestacks does plan on making a version for Windows 8 ARM tablets and since ARM can then be virtualized instead of being emulated it should have no performance issues.

wow this is interesting...! thanks for this

This seems nice, will try it asap.

i'll try this, thanks a loooot!

Having tried the BlueStacks emulator recently, I can attest that it's very easy to set up and get playing your favorite Android games right on your desktop. However, it's only available for Windows currently and you have to install the Cloud Connect app on your phone to get it to sync with apps only found in the Android market.
If you want something that actually runs the full Android OS on any platform (through VirtualBox) and doesn't limit you to GetJar or Amazon's app stores, you should check out Android-x86. I made a video yesterday showing how to install the Android-x86 emulator in less than 5 minutes.
Granted, it's not quite as streamlined as BlueStacks, but it grants access to all the Android apps you would normally have on any 4.0 device and seems to run much more smoothly.

Ever heard of mobilism ?

Thxx a lott

Very cool find OP. This thing certainly seems to be more than capable of most of our games: I just got a 4826 on Quadrant, and a 9633 on Antutu.
I don't know if this is the necessary way to do it, but I got ADW Launcher and Play Store installed by installing this, then going to system/apps and installing g1.apk. The default settings app is in there too.
And the settings app claims the model is "GT-N7000", or the Galaxy Note. Anybody know if this ROM is based on that, or if they are just trying to emulate the phone?
I'm trying for root now.

I would love to see a Linux client, but this looks cool.

how about emulate android app,, it can??

Superb Man. Good Work.

web browsing mediocre to horrible at best, + task mgr. widget vs. running tasks

I'm mainly using the Chrome browser, but have also tried stock and dolphin with similar results. Sometimes pages take forever to load (especially XDA!) and switching between pages hangs up more often than not. Nothing 'snappy' about surfing the web with this thing.
Also, I am seeing applications in the task mgr widget like "talk" , "PixWe", and "google+" and have no idea why. What exactly is this widget supposed to tell me, and what does "one-click clean" actually do? When I check "running" apps under settings none of that stuff shows up but I do show 4 running "maps" processes, facebook, and a couple of other things. I was assuming my crappy web browsing was due to mulitple things going on in the backgroud but not sure.
Other than this the tablet is great!

Google search "browser2ram". The reason for browser lag has only been discussed for the last year or so.

My browsing is smooth as a ... I don't know, think of something.

Also, don't use browser2ram. It caused my prime to bootloop and I had to unbrick it. In fact, I don't even recommend rooting at the moment for fear of a softbrick without a recovery.

My speedtest results are averaging ~1.3Mbps for dowload and ~1.5Mbps for upload. My wifi signal is good but these results seem lousy?
