Firefox Preview 3.0 is available for Android users
Firefox Preview 3.0 version for Android was officially launched on the Play Store. In addition to the bug fix and background optimization, some new features were introduced. This includes allowing users to add the Firefox Preview search plugin to the home screen, and users can add their favorite website shortcuts to the home screen.
Firefox Preview marks a release of the early version for an experimental Firefox browser for Android. Built on GeckoView, Firefox Preview is a pilot for early adopters, developers, and anyone who wants to help make a better, more private Firefox for Android.
Firefox Preview is the first step in building a better mobile browser: one that’s faster, more secure and more independent than any mobile Firefox browser before it. It will combine the speed, privacy, control, and easy-to-use features you have come to expect from Firefox. Like all Firefox products, it will never sell your data for profit.
