Firefox pre-alpha now available for Android smartphones
Posted on Wednesday, April 28 2010 @ 20:16 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
Engadget noticed Mozilla has rolled out a pre-alpha of Firefox for Android 2.0 or higher devices. You can download it over here, but don't expect it to work well as this is still pre-alpha software with quite a lot of bugs and unoptimized memory utilization.
The tastefully named Vladimir Vukićević informs us that it's pretty much a debug release, with unoptimized memory utilization and some quirks rebooting the app when it's started and when add-ons are installed, but it is at a stage where the devs felt they could get useful feedback from a broader user base. It's not yet available on the Android Market, so you'll be needing to download it from the link below, and remember that you'll have to have an Android 2.0 or higher device, with OpenGL ES 2.0 capabilities also being recommended.
