Mozilla Firefox, the perfect browser for readers

Mozilla Firefox the perfect browser for readers

From the printing press of Gutenberg until the launch of eReaders and tablets, reader-oriented tools have been fewHowever, with the creation and development of eReaders the number of them has grown considerably. Recently, the Mozilla Foundation has released a new version of your browser oriented to the most readers. This new version incorporates new functionalities such as a viewer for reading or the possibility of saving our readings to be able to read them later. The problem with this new version of Mozilla Firefox is that it is only available for mobile devices, so it is not currently working on the desktop version of this popular browser.

What does this version of Mozilla Firefox bring?

If you use a tablet to read your ebooks, or you simply use it, as well as your smartphone, you can use Mozilla Firefox, this browser has included very interesting features in its latest version. The first of them all is the possibility of browser reading mode for web articles or large texts of web pages. Activating this mode is very simple, we just have to press the open book icon that appears in the navigation bar.

Once we are in this mode, Firefox allows us to configure the text as we want: we can change the font, put it in night mode, change the font size, line spacing, justification, etc….

It also offers us the possibility of saving the reading so that we can read it later and even offline; once we have sent the text (web or article) to read later, if we want to read it we just have to open Firefox and find the reading list. This tab appears next to the most viewed bookmarks or web pages that appear below the home screen of Mozilla Firefox.

But this is not the only thing that brings the version of Firefox for mobile devices. Another novelty that it has already brought for some versions is the possibility of incorporating the accessories of its older sister and the vision in desktop mode. The first is very useful since it allows us to use adblock plus, a complement that will eliminate annoying advertising, thereby improving navigation and reading on mobile devices. The second will allow us to see the web pages as if we were seeing them on our desktop. I know it's not practical, but there are many websites whose mobile version is more annoying than the desktop version. This mode will allow us to get rid of those uncomfortable views, for the moment.

Conclusion

As you see, Mozilla Firefox It is an ideal web browser for mobile devices and for inveterate readers, especially if the latter use the former to achieve their ends. The downside of all this is that at the moment there is no eReader with this browser, but it is only a matter of time, since Mozilla Firefox It is an open source browser with what we will soon be able to have for any eReader.
