Firefox for Android updated with more customization

Mozilla has updated Firefox for Android, with customizable home screens, a clear history option, Firefox Sync, and support for 55 languages.

The customizable home screen means that you can add the sites you ‘care about most’, as Mozilla put it, easily available whenever you open Firefox. More language support means you can choose from any of Firefox’s supported languages regardless of what your device supports. The most recently added languages are Armenian, Basque, Fulah, Icelandic, Scottish Gaelic, and Welsh.

Clear History means you can easily delete your browsing history at the end of each session, done by tapping the ‘Clear browsing history’ button at the bottom of the History tab. Firefox Sync, meanwhile, allows you to sign in to the browser, and use your bookmarks, passwords and more on other devices where you are signed into Sync. It has been available on desktop versions for around 3 years, and your data is stored and encrypted on Mozilla servers so that no third party, not even Mozilla, can access it.

Another notable change is that Firefox for Android no longer supports Android 2.2 (Froyo).
