Firefox 6
Seems like Firefox 5 was just released just yesterday (actually, it was only a few months ago), but Firefox 6 is out in full force and the Android operating system isnt missing out on any of the action. You can synchronize your bookmarks and passwords between your desktop and Android phone, use mobile add-ons like ad blockers (just like the desktop version), and get one-tap access to your bookmarks and history using the Awesome Screen.
