14 DAY TRIAL // A new beta release of Firefox for Android is now available for download in the beta channel, with various new enhancements and improvements included into the mix.
The new release brings the version number of Firefox for Android to up to 7 in the beta channel, following the release of the final flavor of Firefox 6 for devices based on Google's mobile operating system.
We should also mention that a new flavor of the mobile browser was made available in the Aurora channel as well only a few days ago.
All these are part of Mozilla's new fast release system, which brings a new version of the application in each of the said channels every several weeks.
