Firefox 16 beta arrives with web app hooks, Reader Mode for Android and VoiceOver for Macs

Firefox 16 beta arrives with web app hooks, Reader Mode for Android and VoiceOver for Macs

Firefox 15 is barely fresh off the vine, and we're already looking at a beta version 16 for both desktop platforms and Android. Mozilla's test release builds in the first support for web apps that play nicely with the Mozilla Marketplace; as long as titles have a slight amount of extra formatting, they can slot into Firefox without hiccups. More treats exist if you're running certain platforms: the Android crowd receives a Safari-style Reader Mode that strips out the fluff from pages, while Mac users see the once test-only VoiceOver support flipped on by default to improve accessibility.
