Firefox fans rejoice – the latest version of Firefox Mobile for Android has finally made its transition from Release Candidate to full version. Available as a free download on the Android Market now, Firefox 4 Mobile attempts to bridge the gap between the mobile surfing experience with the one found on the desktop, and it looks like it’s doing the job pretty well. Everything from the desktop version is present: tabbed browsing, add-ons, themes, and syncing with your desktop browser so you don’t have to go through the hassle of manually transferring passwords, bookmarks, and browsing history from the desktop to the phone and vice versa. The browser is also touted to be faster than the stock Android browser, and since it’s free anyway, it’s worth giving it a shot. Hit the break to see a video of what’s new in Firefox 4 Mobile:

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.
