  • Add-ons – Customize your Firefox by adding small pieces of functionality, like games and news readers, that help make the mobile Web browser your own
  • Location-Aware Browsing – Get maps and information relevant to your location
  • Tabbed browsing – View open tabs as thumbnails to easily identify and select the Web page you’d like to go to next
  • Safe Browsing – Get an Instant Web Site ID and easily access and edit security settings

Firefox is the first mobile Web browser to support add-ons - AdBlock Plus, URL Fixer, TwitterBar, language translators and geo guides. With add-ons, users can customize Firefox by adding features that personalize the browser. Users can install add-ons directly from the Nokia N900.

Firefox for mobile provides a platform for developers to create applications. Developers can use the latest Web technologies like HTML5, CSS and JavaScript to improve, modify and customize the browser.
