Mozilla’s development of mobile Firefox continues at a rapid pace, with the company releasing the latest version 5.0 update of its browser on the Android Market for your installation.
The headline addition to the latest code as far as Mozilla is concerned is its “Do Not Track privacy feature” which lets users opt out of behavioral tracking. It also includes “improved page load speed” (don’t they always?) plus “improved compatibility” with the SwiftKey alternate keyboard.
Read the announcement over at Mozilla or get Android Firefox 5 via the Android Market and have a play.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.

/ June 26, 2011Be forewarned. Even if you are warned by Firefox with, “you current add-ons may no longer work”, it is an understatement. They go on to say that the installation of a particular add-on should make it such that, “If it worked under Firefox 4 then it should work under 5.0. This is absolutely NOT true and caused a very important (and paid for) add-on to just stop working and, of course, give me a warning every time about it on each boot up. If you have important add-ons don’t take the chance of losing them. Reinstalling them does no good not to mention still no flash support. This was the stupidest release of Firefox yet and they lost a customer to Chrome over it. Those people have a terrible development manager that has no priorities. What ever goes, goes without thought. Flash support should have been number 1 priority. Truthfully, I believe the project is getting away from them.
