Starting today, <a href=\"http:\/\/maemo.nokia.com\/n900\/\">Nokia N900<\/a> owners can enjoy many of the same Firefox features they know and love on the desktop on their mobile device.<\/p>\n<p>Bringing Firefox to mobile devices is the next step toward fulfilling Mozilla\u2019s mission of providing one Web that everyone can access, regardless of device or location. Secure, powerful, and customizable, Firefox is the most modern mobile Web browser available and is optimized for a mobile experience. Key design principles are at the heart of the mobile browsing experience including minimal typing, seamless synchronization with desktop Firefox and the ability to take your Firefox with you, to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>Firefox for mobile is packed with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.com\/en-US\/mobile\/features\/\">favorite features<\/a>, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Awesome Bar \u2013 Go to your favorite sites in just a couple of keystrokes with intelligent and personalized searching<\/li>\n<li>Weave Sync \u2013 Sync your Firefox tabs, history, bookmarks and passwords between your desktop and mobile device for a seamless browsing experience<\/li>\n<li>Add-ons \u2013 Customize your Firefox by adding small pieces of functionality, like games and news readers, that help make the mobile Web browser your own<\/li>\n<li>Location-Aware Browsing \u2013 Get maps and information relevant to your location<\/li>\n<li>Tabbed browsing \u2013 View open tabs as thumbnails to easily identify and select the Web page you&#8217;d like to go to next<\/li>\n<li>Safe Browsing \u2013 Get an Instant Web Site ID and easily access and edit security settings<\/li>\n<li>Available in more than 30 languages and counting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Firefox is the first mobile Web browser to support add-ons. With add-ons, you can customize your Firefox by adding features that help make your browser your own. Add-ons like AdBlock Plus, URL Fixer, TwitterBar, language translators, and geo guides become especially handy when you\u2019re out and about on your mobile device. You can both discover and install add-ons directly from your Nokia N900. There are <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/mobile\/\">currently more than 40 Firefox add-ons available for mobile<\/a> and the number is growing every day.<\/p>\n<p>We <a href=\"http:\/\/madhava.com\/egotism\/archive\/005041.html\">strongly recommend that you install the YouTube Enabler<\/a> add-on from within the Add-ons Manager.\u00a0 Tap on the install button, restart Firefox, and you&#8217;re all set to watch YouTube videos.<\/p>\n<p>Just as Firefox does for the desktop, Firefox for mobile provides a platform for developers to create rich applications. Developers can use the latest Web technologies like HTML5, CSS and JavaScript to improve, modify and customize the browser. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.com\/mobile\/developers\/\">Visit the Develop for mobile page to learn more<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Firefox is currently supported on Nokia\u2019s Maemo5 platform and is available for download on the Nokia N900.
