According to Marc Chacksfield over on the techradar.com website, the new Firefox Beta application – which shows off a version of Firefox 5 that is currently in development – contains a whole host of new features, including improved compatibility with SwiftKey.

Android users should also find that the Firefox Beta for Android offers improved loading speeds, better panning and a better display of both videos and images. Mozilla recently revealed that there are now more than 150 add-ons for the Firefox mobile browser.

100 of the add-ons are said to be compatible with the latest Firefox Beta version. The newly release Firefox Beta application also adds support for more than six menu items in the Android Menu, and users should find that images downloaded to the Android Gallery will be visible immediately.

The Firefox Beta app is available to download from the Android Market now, but does require the device to be running Android 2.0 or above. If users wish to report problems or provide ideas about Firefox for Android, they can do so simply by tapping on ‘Give Feedback’ on the welcome page.

As Mikael Ricknas over at pcworld.com recently noted, the updated versions – Opera Mini 6 and Opera Mobile 11 – feature improved zooming, which now makes use of the pinch-to-zoom feature on all devices that support it, and improved panning performance and scrolling.

Another new feature included in the updated versions is the share button, which enables users to post messages on social networking websites Facebook and Twitter. The navigation buttons appear at the top of the screen in the tablet version, rather than at the bottom like the smartphone versions.

The Opera Mobile 11 browser – which supports HTML5 – is available for smartphones running Symbian and Android operating systems. There are also experimental versions available for devices running Maemo and MeeGo, and one for tablets running Windows 7.

Meanwhile, the Opera Mini 6 browser is available for smartphones running Symbian S60, Android and BlackBerry operating systems and for devices that are able to run J2ME Java applets. Although the company didn’t release iOS versions, an Opera spokeswoman said that iPhone and iPad owners should stay tuned.

Do you use the Opera Mini or Opera Mobile browsers on your smartphone?
