Firefox Android beta puts Instagram feeds straight into your browser

Share

Firefox has already shown off an Android launcher and is now trying some spiffy personalization features for its Android browser. The latest beta flaunts a new class of “panel” add-ons with home page feeds like Pocket, Wikipedia, Instagram and more. Firefox has also released a new set of APIs for those plug-ins, letting any app developer create a home screen page. I tried it out with Instagram and Pocket and found it gave me a quick way to view photo streams and articles without touching the apps. But I’ve got similar features with my launcher (Terrain), which seems a more logical place to put third party feeds. If you’d like to try it, it seemed stable enough during limited usage, but like any beta, the risk is all yours.
