Expert advice on staying safe
******************************************

Maintaining your safety online is one of our highest priorities. We asked Michael Coates, the Director of Security Assurance for Firefox (and all of Mozilla), a few questions about keeping you safe on your favorite browser.


He gave us his take on the most common challenge Firefox users face and what he and his team have done to meet that challenge. Michael also shares his favorite Firefox security feature with us. Hint: it's pretty cool.

Mobile browsing just got better
******************************************

The newest version of Firefox for Android is here! And with it come some changes that offer you a better Web experience on your smartphone: full-screen browsing, auto complete for URLs — currently the only mobile browser that can do this — and a new Switch to Tab feature that lets you easily find and switch to any open tab.

Read more about these new features and be sure to see them in action by using Firefox for Android.
