Firefox for Android is built on the same technology platform as Firefox for desktop computers, just optimized for browsing on a mobile device. The new version released comes with bug fixes and new technology features. There are now over 160 add-ons for Firefox for mobile, and counting. Thanks to the awesome community, the number of exciting compatible add-ons increases constantly.
