Mozilla Releases Preview of New Firefox Browser for Android Devices

In April, Mozilla announced that it will only be releasing minor updates for Firefox on Android till it’s new browser is ready. The company’s new browser, previously known as Fenix, is releasing in a preview today.

Mozilla is launching Firefox Preview this week, and it’s eventually going to replace the classic Firefox on Android devices. Mozilla’s focus seems to be mainly on the performance of the new browser, with an improved interface that makes it easier to use the browser. The classic Firefox browser was essentially neglected for a little while and Mozilla decided to reset the entire browser and working on something new to overcome the problems instead of working on improving the existing browser.
