Firefox to launch its Android tablet version

The Mozilla Mobile Team is working to make tablet version of Firefox.

Firefox for tablets is an evolution of its phone based predecessor, with some added enhancements that take advantage of a tablet’s larger screen size.

According to Firefox Blog, the bar uses the same tabbed menu to allow quick access to bookmarks, history, and synced desktop activity. Users of the current phone version of Firefox will notice that the tabs have been moved off to the left, which makes easier to reach and increases the number of results that can be displayed above the keyboard.

On a tablet, the bigger screen lets to bring some of helpful elements back onto the screen, like tabs, for example. In landscape mode, tabs exist in a persistent left bar, allowing for quicker browsing. In portrait mode, this tab bar gets rolled up into a menu item at the top of the screen, to free up browsing space below.
