There is huge interest from users who want to try Firefox on their device, but more importantly, these users want to install their favorite add-ons right away.  Please ensure your add-on\u2019s max version is updated to support 2.0a1 by Friday, August 13, so that it\u2019s compatible with our Alpha release build.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: Firefox 2.0 for mobile devices will move the <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Electrolysis\">Electrolysis<\/a> platform. This means that chrome windows (the main application window) and content windows (web content in browser tabs) will be in separate processes. This impacts application and add-on code in a few ways. <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Mobile\/Fennec\/Extensions\/Electrolysis\">See the 2.0 extensions wiki page to learn more.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Early Bird Gets the Worm<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ve received huge interest around Firefox for Android.
