It's downloading right now......I will report back the result tomorrow if any bugs.

Forget tomorrow, after download and installed I use for couple second and I don't like it. No flash player and net surfing is way slower than stock IE............

Video of Firefox 4 beta on an EVO 4G:

YouTube - Mozilla Firefox 4 Beta 1 for Android

It's not ready for primetime, seeing how there are so many good browsers out for Android, but it's heading in the right direction IMO.

hope its just beta that blows.

Its foot print is huge on the phone, moved to SD card and it still kept 17mb on the phone, then all the data it stored, 2 minutes of using it and it showed 48mb of storage being used. Dolphin Browser is so far the best browser I've found for Android.

FireFox needs some serous work before it is complete for android.

Personally as far as usage goes, and flash/functionality goes, NOTHING beats stock evo browser. Tried other, and wish Opera wasn't a mini, but would like to see FF get good. But it sees my phone as........... well the pic tells............

It's come quite a ways from the last alpha release. Sync works, some plug-ins work. Is it release material? No. Will it be eventually? I'm sure it will. Will it be the best? Fastest? Nicest? Fullest featured? I guess you could say all that is debatable. Some like stock, some like Dolphin, some like Opera and of course, some will like Firefox.

I see it that competition is good, makes everyone improve all around. :)
