Firefox 4 beta 1 browser for Android walkthrough

[curtispointu]

downloaded this browser for my dont think i'll use up until they sort out flash player on the browser. Other than that it is a pretty good browser

[15heartz]

as i got flash player full?

[kolle147]

@15heartz not yet

[myrtic1]

It's good for a beta, but needs a lot of work..

[Insomain]

Thumbs if you picked up your phone and started downloading Firefox for android before 0:30.

[E1SUNZ]

what phone is that?

[kublaikhan1215]

@E1SUNZ Galaxy S captivate!

[jama431]

Cool

the history syncs by default. there's no way of switching it off also where are the bookmarks. they are unorganized which means they are trying to move people over to tags where you can locate a bookmark though keyword(s) rather than have it in a traditional tree structure. sucks bigtime. i wonder if chrome will be any better on the android when it arrives? it certainly cant be any worse

[Vitruviux]

They'll need to optimize it a lot and improve the rendering.

But I really like the idea of Syncing bookmarks, tabs, history, etc... between a desktop Firefox and Mobile Firefox.

[Uncemister2]

Just tried this out on my T-Mobile G2. It is definitely still in beta stage, rendering looks terrible and panning isn't as optimized as they said. That being said its a more than decent alternative to googles browser.

[zcraider1996smokey]

what service is the android on

[sbkite]

@zcraider1996smokey

ATT, Verizon, Sprint, and T mobile. Pretty much everyone has a great android phone.

[zcraider1996smokey]

@sbkite yea, i wasnt sure if this was for just the droid for verizon or whatever

[ab30494]

@sbkite Cricket also now has a couple android phones.

[r0wd3]

"oh and meamo" rofl

[RichardCamellion]

That looked awful. I've seen that Firefox perform a lot better. That's buggy and laggy phone.

[sbkite]

@RichardCamellion

the galaxy s series is actually the fastest android phone out there, it just slows down because of the RFS system.  You can download an app from the market that fixes that in 1 tap and 5 seconds.

[ProfDrDextar2]

@sbkite whats the name of this app?

[sbkite]

@ProfDrDextar2

There are a couple. Theres "OCLF" and another one called "GST"

There are even more options if you download one from XDA developers

[rywill999]

mozilla tweeted a better review of firefox from youtuber smartkeitai

[Lojo5555]

mobileburn is gay Techno Buffalo is awesome you are old pedos that are lonely

[tarunrad]

Awful, just awful ,mozilla thinks that mobile browsers need to be like desktop browsers, Lol. it's 40 MB, slow and has the worst font rendering ever.

[zeester0101]

wipe the screen todd! moisture from ur fingers got on it

[02Alan93]

Forceclosing on my HTC Wildfire :-/

[kuwari316]

i have this but i cant seem to get adobe flash working on it

[Rossthatguyfromthere]

This is alot like dolphin browser hd. i think i'll just stick with DB.

[espiriguidiberto]

It's too heavy and it's not working on my Galaxy with 2.2.1

I'll wait for an update

[ZhanTaoF]

i thought dolphin was firefox!

[jordyGFC]

its firefox 4 beta 1 not firefox beta 1...

[stefanmetodijev]

I think you made a little mistake: I think that Mozilla browser for Android is called Fennec (or maybe they renamed it to Firefox, I don't know).

[toddhaselton]

@stefanmetodijev no, it's "Firefox 4 beta." Also note the name of the icon on my homescreen.

[ladyvee7110]

That Firefox app is like over 11MB...yikes.

[needmoneynow2]

is that a app on ur front screen with all the social sites in a line? what is that?

[toddhaselton]

@needmoneynow2 it's an awesome free widget called "multicon." highly recommended.

[needmoneynow2]

@toddhaselton thanks! just put it on my phone it is a great free widget love it

[omer2324]

WOW this app is HUGE and I had to delete flash on my phone and a few more apps and I stil dont have enough space on my desire...WTF

Prehaps I failed idk..

[MegaCamu]

Windows NT 6.1 Means Vista SP1 ?

[drphysx]

@MegaCamu No, NT6.1 is the kernel of Windows 7.

The Vista kernel is NT6.0 (SP1 is 6.0.6001).

[toddhaselton]

@MegaCamu it's actually Windows 7 not sure why it's reporting as that.

[waynestateman]

Firefox needs flash so my iPhone can't get firefox :(

[RichardCamellion]

@waynestateman Buy a better phone. That will solve your problem. :)
