There is always a low memory version of almost every browser. Opera has both "Opera Classic" and "Opera Mini", UC Browser has both "UC Browser" and "UC Browser Mini". These Mini-s run very fluently on Low end devies. Takes less RAM (Though they always fail to load pages with better HTML coding) and almost never lags. I want that Firefox also either make their RAM Usage less or release a mini version. Otherwise, like UC Browser, they also should make the Cache storage to SDCARD by default.

Unfortunately there is not but you can check out Firefox Beta, Firefox Aurora or Firefox Nightly.

We want to release a browser with roughly the same capabilities as the Desktop version of Firefox. Creating a low feature version of Firefox would only confuse web developers as to what features Firefox on Android has.
