Fennec, mobile version of Firefox, goes Alpha

[manojlds]

Mozilla has released the Alpha version of Fennec, the mobile version of its popular web browser Firefox. The Mozilla website claims that “this is an early developer release of the mobile version of Firefox, for testing purposes only” and only runs on the Nokia N810 (and N800) tablet at the moment. But Windows, OS X or Linux users can download their corressponding versions and play around with it to get its feel.

I did a blog post on this recently.

Mozilla has been working on a mobile version of Firefox for a while now. They are committed to making sure that is is completely ready before releasing it to the general public. They don't want a half-baked product.

For those who do use Fennec, you should be aware that the GUI is not the final version. This release is mostly about getting the engine running on a mobile platform, not about features.
