Showing that rapid development is not only in the desktop version of Firefox, Mozilla today released an update to Firefox to Android. The new version comes with a slightly modified interface compared to the previous one and includes new features for web developers to create applications to run specifically on this browser version.
Compared with the screenshots available on Android Market in Firefox and noticed that the same changes were minimal. Unless they change color and shape of boxes is considered a drastic change, it was only a mild slap on the design. But according to Mozilla, this was done so that it is more optimized in tablets and also "aligned to the Android interface."
Included in this release are also two new API, one that allows developers to detect gestures on the page and let other applications that use the storage cells to store web applications for offline access.
Firefox for Android is available free on Android Market, and is supported on devices with version 2.0 of Android or higher.
