Firefox 4.x is probably the last release of Mozilla browser, which I used as the main “window” on the Internet. It was at that time there was the beginning of the hegemony of Chrome, which continues to this day. This does not mean, however, that I do not follow the actions of Mozilla and I do not reach at all on Firefox – on the contrary, he still keeps his hand on the pulse and checking fun serves up a foundation. And recently a lot going on in the mobile editions.
The long-tested, because May of this year, with the release of Firefox for iOS finally became publicly available. Before dozens of hours went into the App Store, where you can of course download it for free. Is it worth it? The answer to this question will not be the same for all. The presence of Firefox for iOS is a big event for the daily users browser on computers, because only now possible becomes for them a convenient and hassle-free sync your bookmarks, passwords and history with the mobile device – iPhone or iPad. For other people it will not be rather too unique alternative to pre-installed in iOS Safari and Chrome Top files, which does not mean that Mozilla does not try to provide something new.
The browser interface will not come as a surprise, only a small little things that distinguish it from the competition can more or less accrue to our taste. Normally so at the bottom of the screen you will find the navigation buttons, select refreshed, making it available (fortunately it is a panel system iOS) followed by an asterisk, or add to favorites. According to Mozilla freedom of information retrieval is one of the most important features of the browser. And indeed convenient choice even when typing a search phrase is something that can appeal to many users. The second characteristic is to be a card management system, offering a preview of a larger number of open pages. So far abide by Chrome, but not Firefox absenting, just waiting for more.
Apparently, that with a much more interesting proposition Mozilla wyruszuła toward Android users, for they have a chance to see in action the system Firefox OS. About this platform it became quiet some time ago, although I must admit that initially pinned considerable hopes in it. Mozilla, however, does not intend to completely abandon this project and offers users and developers a much easier way to test its capabilities. The former, by installing only one application, they can see how it works and what exactly has Firefox OS, while the latter without having to buy the device with Firefox OS can try their hand at building a dedicated applications platform.
Firefox OS installed shortly after he was released by Mozilla, but having in mind first encounter with the system several months ago. Now that Firefox OS looks more modern, simply nicer, but its performance is difficult to write anything, because I ran it on flagowcu Motorola last year and it is like not to look, still “only” application on Android. During the tests, I noticed a lot of strange behavior in Firefox OS, as chociażb lack of reaction on the “back”. Besides, keep in mind that it is working on a launcher, and it is quite early his version, thus opening and use of certain applications is extremely difficult or impossible.
But Firefox OS offers us their own programs as messages, browser or email client – but they are rather merely curiosities, because using them on a daily basis would be no small challenge. It is also the center of notifications, settings, and other duplicate elements of the system, and it does indeed have quite a stir. In version 2.5 there is also such novelties as extensions that could affect the operation of one or more applications (eg. I liked the addition of displaying the number of unread notifications for app icons), private browsing and protection against tracking and pinning shortcuts to webaplikacji or sites which is to blur the boundary between them and real applications.
Installer not get married on Google Play, so I refer you to an entry on the Mozilla blog for more information and a dedicated system to a page where contains a link to a file * .apk.
