Firefox Goes Mobile

With over 1 billion PC downloads Firefox is now looking to set a new record in the mobile phone browsers.

Firefox is now available on Nokia’s Maemo platform hence Nokia N900 users can enjoy many of the Firefox features they do on the desktop.

Some of the features it includes are:
* Awesome Bar – Go to your favorite sites in just a couple of keystrokes with intelligent and personalized searching
* Weave Sync – Sync your Firefox tabs, history, bookmarks and passwords between your desktop and mobile device for a seamless browsing experience
* Add-ons – Customize your Firefox by adding small pieces of functionality, like games and news readers, that help make the mobile Web browser your own
* Location-Aware Browsing – Get maps and information relevant to your location
* Tabbed browsing – View open tabs as thumbnails to easily identify and select the Web page you’d like to go to next
