Firefox 24 for PC and Android

FireFox OS header

The newest version of the Firefox browser, Firefox 24, is now available for computers and Android devices, bringing a range of new features, especially for mobile devices.

For example there’s night mode which reverses the usual black text on a white screen mode, making it easier to read in low light conditions.

There’s also the ability to share open tabs between NFC-enabled phones and there’s support for WebRTC which will allow browser-to-browser applications for voice calling, video chat and peer-to-peer file sharing without the need for additional plug-ins.

Both the desktop and mobile versions also plug a number of security vulnerabilities, developer Mozilla says.
