A couple of days ago Mozilla teased a preview of revamped version of its Firefox browser for Android and today it has officially released the browser on the Google Play market. Mozilla is promising a significant performance boost in the new Firefox browser for Android with it claiming Firefox leading the browser pack in the SunSpider benchmark.

Like Google Chrome for Android 4.0, Firefox now adds the ability to sync tabs and bookmarks with ones desktop and has also added a better tabbed browsing experience. The new Firefox also supports Flash and features numerous security features like Do Not Track, Master Password, and HTTP Strict Transport Security.

In spite of all this new firepower, Mozilla has beefed up HTML5 capabilities in Firefox for Android to enable developers to create rich Web apps and websites based on HTML5, JavaScript, CSS and other open Web standards. A number of new web APIs have been added including – Camera API, Vibration API, Mobile Connection API, Battery Status API, Screen Orientation API and Geolocation API.
