More language support means you can choose from any of Firefox&#8217;s supported languages regardless of what your device supports. The most recently added languages are Armenian, Basque, Fulah, Icelandic, Scottish Gaelic, and Welsh.<\/p>\n<p>Clear History means you can easily delete your browsing history at the end of each session, done by tapping the &#8216;Clear browsing history&#8217; 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.<\/p>\n<p>Another notable change is that Firefox for Android no longer supports <strong>Android 2.2<\/strong> (Froyo).<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blog\/2014\/09\/02\/make-firefox-for-android-yours-switch-languages-easily-customize-home-screens-and-clear-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mozilla<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Firefox 32 RC 1 released for desktop\" href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/firefox-32-rc-1-released-for-desktop\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Firefox 32 RC 1 released for desktop<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Opera 24 out now with new tab previews\" href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/opera-24-out-now-with-new-tab-previews\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Opera 24 out now with new tab previews<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"The best web browser for Android \u2013 Sam\u2019s choice\" href=\"http:\/\/features.en.softonic.com\/the-best-web-browser-for-android-sams-choice\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The best web browser for Android \u2013 Sam\u2019s choice<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><em>Follow Jonathan on Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jonathanriggall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@jonathanriggall<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mozilla has updated Firefox for Android, with customizable home screens, a clear history option, Firefox Sync, and support for 55 languages.
