Firefox It is one of the most widely used browsers on desktops and laptops, but on mobile devices it is having a hard time finding its “space” and market share. But they do not stop trying to position themselves in the best possible way in the Android operating system.
For this reason, Mozilla has announced that the compatibility of this application increases to devices that use processors with architecture ARMv6 (Up to now you could only use Firefox with ARMv7). The consequence is that terminals such as LG Optimus Q or Samsung Galaxy Ace They could use this browser and, in this way, the developer company increases the number of compatible devices and, therefore, surely its market share in the Android world.
Firefox is now a better option
Thanks to this step taken by Mozilla, which is quite important, your browser becomes one of those that greater compatibility offered in the market, above Chrome, for example. This is how you try to get "that the free web world reaches the whole world".
Overall, the technical specifications that a phone or tablet must meet in order to use the future version of Firefox for Android compatible with ARMv6 are a SoC of 800 MHZ and 512 MB RAM. Otherwise, it is not possible to install or use the browser. But, according to Mozilla itself, the number of terminals using a processor with this architecture is in the millions, so the number of accessible devices is very high.
The update that offers the compatibility is not yet available in Google Play, but it is possible to get the installer in this link of the Firefox Test Channel (Beta) for Android. And, all this, for free but taking into account that it is not yet a final version of the program.
