Firefox Launcher for Android

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1OsjQ4214SoS6Zqan2Bj9Dty5EwUbr9RZp6DTBI-O1h3-sChalINZkkeoCKXYWpoxWU3a0fXXluLlbhyphenhyphenTZL20EZNTBu5Bgh2SuTT39M1k7Z6ONp0QVejXFumYakwmOOh59QAxj9ZqCNc/s1600/Firefox-Launcher-for-Android.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1OsjQ4214SoS6Zqan2Bj9Dty5EwUbr9RZp6DTBI-O1h3-sChalINZkkeoCKXYWpoxWU3a0fXXluLlbhyphenhyphenTZL20EZNTBu5Bgh2SuTT39M1k7Z6ONp0QVejXFumYakwmOOh59QAxj9ZqCNc/s1600/Firefox-Launcher-for-Android.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">The Firefox Launcher offers you recommendations and smart searches will recommend apps you already have installed, along with other ones that match a searched keyword. In the morning, the prediction bar suggests apps related to the weather. Think of the information you might hear on the radio during morning drive time. In the afternoon, the recommended apps might lean toward your calendar, local businesses (to find a restaurant for the evening) and some news apps so you can check what has happened that very day.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">When you use the search feature on the launcher, related apps and websites you've visited appear on the phone. And the links go pretty deep. As an example, if you search for Katy Perry, instead of seeing the Spotify homepage, the launcher will reveal a Spotify shortcut to the singer's artist page. And if you search for 'news' or 'tech', you will see cards with relevant information to your search, including videos.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">The app still has some work in front of it, before undergoing beta testing.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;" /></span><br /> <div class="s_media s_media_full" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 526px;"><tbody> <tr><td width="181"><div class="left" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 5px 0px;"> <a class="s_zoom" href="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/108630-image/moz-a.png" id="hs_108630" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img alt="Screenshots from the Firefox Launcher for Android" data-src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/108630-thumb/moz-a.png" height="300" src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/108630-thumb/moz-a.png" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.7s ease; border: 1px solid rgb(230, 228, 228); height: auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 3px; transition: all 0.7s ease;" width="176" /></span></a></div> </td><td width="172"><div class="left" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 5px 0px;"> <a class="s_zoom" href="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/108631-image/moz-b.png" id="hs_108631" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img alt="Screenshots from the Firefox Launcher for Android" data-src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/108631-thumb/moz-b.png" height="300" src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/108631-thumb/moz-b.png" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.7s ease; border: 1px solid rgb(230, 228, 228); height: auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 3px; transition: all 0.7s ease;" width="167" /></span></a></div> </td><td width="173"><div class="left" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 5px 0px;"> <a class="s_zoom" href="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/108633-image/slip.png" id="hs_108633" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img alt="Screenshots from the Firefox Launcher for Android" data-src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/108633-thumb/slip.png" height="300" src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/108633-thumb/slip.png" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.7s ease; border: 1px solid rgb(230, 228, 228); height: auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 3px; transition: all 0.7s ease;" width="168" /></span></a></div> </td></tr> <tr><td colspan="3" width="526"><div class="s_info_1 align_center"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Screenshots from the Firefox Launcher for Android</span></div> </td></tr> </tbody></table> </div> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">source: </span><a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2014/02/05/preview-of-firefox-launcher-for-android/" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Mozilla</a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> via </span><a href="http://techcrunch.com/2014/02/05/firefox-launcher/" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">TechCrunch</a></span>

In August, the open-source developer pegged December 2013 as the target for the "Metro-ized" version of Firefox. In September, Mozilla said it was hoping to bundle Firefox Metro with the Windows edition of Firefox 27, slated for release on Feb. 4.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Metro was the name Microsoft once applied to the radical UI of Windows 8, but the company ditched the moniker in 2012 over a trademark dispute with a German retailer.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The newest information from Mozilla, however, has tapped March 18, when Firefox 28 is to ship, as the projected release of the browser.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Although a preview of Firefox Metro was bundled with the Aurora build of Firefox more than three months ago -- and is currently in Aurora for Firefox 28 -- it has not yet been promoted to the next channel, Beta, which is the precursor to Release. Mozilla has set a Jan. 31 deadline for deciding whether the touch browser is ready to add to Firefox 28 Beta.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mozilla started work on a Metro edition of Firefox in March 2012. It shipped a rough preview in October 2012, several weeks before Microsoft launched Windows 8. At that time, Mozilla's schedule said the Firefox app might appear as early as January 2013. In May 2013, however, the company said its developers would complete Firefox for Modern between Oct. 2, 2013, and March 20, 2014, with mid-November the likeliest date.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If Mozilla makes the targeted March 18 release, it will have spent two years crafting the browser, which will have shipped 17 months after the retail debut of Windows 8. // <a href="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9245143/Mozilla_resets_Metro_Firefox_ship_date_to_mid_March?source=rss_keyword_edpicks&google_editors_picks=true">Computerworld</a></span>

How to Restore deleted Firefox Bookmarks & Favorites

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">We have covered two methods here. The first method guides you if you have just deleted the bookmark accidentally and would like to undo the changes right away. The trick works only if it finds the browser has not been closed and reopened. The second method covers somewhat you may call as a delayed response i.e. only after you find an important bookmark missing from the list, you realize you have deleted something worthwhile and would like to undo the mistake.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong>Method 1</strong></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">Hover the mouse cursor over ‘Display Bookmarks’ option in the upper right-hand corner of your computer screen.

Firefox like Chrome, but does that mean it ?

Dubbed Australis, this is the biggest ever change to Firefox’s user interface, with much improved streamlining and customization, and the unification of Mozilla’s design language across the desktop, smartphone, and Firefox’s myriad other form factors. Australis will debut in Firefox 28, which just hit the Nightly (alpha testing) channel; if everything goes to plan, the new-look Firefox should be ready for mass consumption at the start of 2014.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">As you can see in the screenshots above and below — or if you download <a href="http://nightly.mozilla.org/">a Nightly build for Windows, OS X, or Linux</a> — Firefox’s new Australis theme is very <i>curvy</i>. The most significant changes over the current desktop version of Firefox are: Lots of rounded corners, inactive tabs that “fade” into the background, less padding above tabs, and a massively re-worked main menu button (which shares the same icon as Chrome). Australis also introduces a brand new way of customizing the layout of Firefox — if you hit Customize in the new menu, a new tab opens that lets you rearrange every UI element to your heart’s conten.</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Source : <a href="http://www.extremetech.com/computing/171244-firefox-debuts-new-ui-that-looks-like-chrome-but-does-that-mean-it-can-compete-with-chrome">ExtremeTech </a></i></span><br />
