Firefox 4 for Android Now Available

That’s right, all the perks and goodies you’ve come to enjoy from Firefox is now available on your Android handset. Whether it’s tabbed browsing, all the add-ons and extensions you like (well, a good chunk of them, anyway) or you want an experience up to three times faster than the standard Android browser, Firefox 4 is it.

If you set up your desktop to sync with your device with Firefox Sync enabled computer, you can get your tabs and other content from your desktop right onto your phone. So when you need to pick up and leave the computer, all the stuff you were looking at will go right along with you on your phone.
