Firefox 14 for Android is now available in Google Play for devices running Android 2.2 and up. The new Firefox comes with Australis UI, Flash support and performance boost.

Firefox for Android is faster than the stock browser that ships on Android phones according to Sunspider benchmark. Mozilla also developed a new benchmark, called Eideticker, that measures the actual user Web experience and they built Firefox for Android to it, yielding an experience that is two times faster than the stock browser.

I installed this version today. I have to say that Firefox is now on the right track in mobile browsing. (Y)

Here is the place where you can get nightly firefox for your ARMv6 (and non ARMv6 too) smartphone. With new UI, of course.

I love how Opera can fit the text.
How about the text flow in this FF. Can anyone say?

It's fast even on 748MHz armv6 device. Imagine how fast it is on newest hardware.

Yes :yes:

It zoom out to 50 to 70% to fit the text. But it doesn't change the layout of the site like Opera.
