Mozilla to push a new Firefox browser version to Android users

Mozilla has tested a new version of the Firefox browser on the Android platform for a year (the test version browser is called “Fenix”) and has finally announced the end of the test period of this browser code-named Fenix.

At present, the version number of the old Firefox browser on the Android platform stays at 68. This major version number was released in July last year. Since then, only minor repairs have been provided, and this new version of the Firefox browser will directly increase the version number to 79.

The interface style of the new version of the Firefox browser is more concise and generous. The address bar adopts a more user-friendly bottom placement design, is equipped with a better performance GeckoView rendering engine, has more comprehensive privacy management, and supports dark mode.

Although it is called the Firefox browser, this is not a simple update of the old Firefox browser, but more like a new browser that replaces the old Firefox browser. Therefore, there are some features that the old Firefox browser has, but the new version may No.

For example, the old version of the Firefox browser supports the installation of all desktop versions of Firefox browser plug-ins, but the new version of the Firefox browser supports the installation of 9 officially certified plug-ins, although later developers may bring more plug-ins to the new version of Firefox browser. But at present, the plug-in library of the new version of the Firefox browser is still rather poorly.
