Our second release of Firefox 4 Beta for Android and Maemo is live! Download it and tell us what you think<\/a>. Thanks to everyone for their continued support and feedback.<\/p>\n

A great feature in Firefox 4 Beta is the personalized Start page that provides instant access to the tabs you had open last time you were browsing on your mobile, tabs from your other computers, and it even suggests you add-ons that will help you get the most out of your Firefox.<\/p>\n

Two newly featured add-ons, that will also appear as suggested add-ons on the Start page, are \u201cPhony\u201d and \u201cBigger Text,\u201d which have been developed by our very own Matt Brubeck.\u00a0 Both of these add-ons address some of the pain points that our users have flagged for us. These add-ons will serve as great additions while we continue to improve Firefox for mobile.<\/p>\n

Phony<\/a>: Some websites don\u2019t yet detect Firefox as a mobile browser. With Phony, you can load different versions of mobile web sites by changing the \u201cuseragent\u201d string to match iPhone, Android, or desktop browsers. Warning: Some iPhone- or Android-optimized sites may not work correctly in mobile Firefox.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Use Phony: Go to your Browser Tools (gear button) > Preferences pane.\u00a0 \u201cUser Agent\u201d will be the top menu item. Tap on the drop-down menu and select your platform of choice.<\/p>\n

Bigger Text<\/a>: Sometimes websites are hard to read on a small screen with their normal fonts. With this add-on installed, you can open the site menu and press the \u201cBigger Text\u201d button to enlarge the text on any page. Simple as pie!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Use Bigger Text: Tap on the Website ID (favicon next to Awesome Bar) and the Bigger Text button will be listed in the Site Menu. Tap on it and the text will enlarge.<\/p>\n

Install them and let us know what you think. Go to your Browser Tools and tap on the Beta Tester button to provide your feedback right from Firefox mobile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
