Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Google’s Chrome may be fighting over the number one spot when it comes to the desktop browser market, but within the world of mobile browsers Apple’s Safari dominates thanks to the iPhone and iPad’s popularity. Mozilla is looking to change this, with the announcement of its latest Firefox mobile browser for Android.

According to the company, Firefox for Android version 14 is much faster than the standard Android browser, Firefox 13, as well as its other mobile browser rivals. This assertion is based upon results it obtained within benchmark test such as Sunspider and the in-house developed Eideticker. The firm claims that this snappiness can be found within all facets of the browser, ranging from startup- and page load times through to panning and zooming as well as web app performance.
