Mozilla is moving fast towards pushing its Firefox 18 for Android mobile browser in the release channel, and has made available for download a new beta flavor of the application.

This is the seventh pre-release version of the app that is made available in the beta channel, and might be one of the latest aimed at Android devices.

Put up for download on January 3, 2013, the new application flavor comes with bug fixes inside, while building on the new features and enhancements that Firefox 18 was announced with.

The browser now sports Safe Browsing, Google Now search widget integration, a better update experience, a faster JavaScript compiler called IonMonkey, and more.

The latest beta release of Firefox 18 for Android is available for download from Softpedia via this link.
