Firefox Mobile 1.1 has launched for the Nokia N900 and N810, just over five months after the initial launch of the browser for the phones.
Built on the same browser engine as Firefox 3.6 for desktops, the updated mobile version from Mozilla offers Nokia N900 and N810 owners a raft of new features for an improved mobile web surfing experience.
Features include enhancements to the autocomplete function, to make filling out forms simpler, "Smart Tapping," to make selecting links and other online content more accurate, and a personalised start page, which lets the user return to where they left off after closing the browser.
Users have the choice of browsing in either landscape or portrait mode, while a volume rocker feature allows for zooming in and out. Browsers can also save files to PDF so they can be viewed offline or accessed quickly.
A Context Menu, meanwhile, lets people open items in a new tab and save images by holding down on a link.
Features from the initial release remain, including the Awesome Bar, which will remember previously visited or popular sites, adapting to preferences to make the browsing experience more personal.
Users can also match up their mobile and desktop browsing with Weave Sync, which copies over Firefox history, saved passwords, bookmarks and open tabs between a computer and the smartphone.
Nokia will be hoping for a boost in the coming months after the Finnish mobile giant recently lowered its sales expectations for the year.
