New Firefox For Android Beta Released

Mozilla has announced the availability of a new beta version of Firefox for Android. The release notes list many of the new features and fixes, which include Flash support, improvements to panning and zooming, plugins loading only on touch, and a new "Awesome Screen." They point out that many Android phones are supported, and that a beta version for tablets will be coming soon. Mozilla is asking for help "testing everything from the faster startup and response times to compatibility for specific websites and graphics performance." Here's the download page.

They've come to the party extremely late, with a slow bloated competitor for the pretty good stock browser and the excellent Dolphin HD. It would be nice if Firefox for Android supported all the desktop add-ons but no. So..why would I install it over Dolphin?
