Firefox Releases Alpha Version of Fennec – Hope To Change Mobile Browsing Experience

Firefox Mobile just released a very early version of their upcoming mobile browser Fennec. After the great browsing experience provided by safari on iPhone, there is growing demand for a better browser for other mobile platforms.

And Fennec is a step towards that. Please note that the browser is still in very early stage of development but still Mozilla is releasing to get users feedback to improve it before the final stable release.

From Firefox Mobile

This is an early developer release of the mobile version of Firefox, for testing purposes only, intended to:

* get wider community feedback on our approach to the user experience
* engage Mozilla community teams, including localizers, add-on developers, and testers
* get feedback from Web developers

The focus of development so far has been on building a new user interface that reflects Firefox’s design principles, and adds touch screen support and other features that are appropriate for mobile phones and other handheld devices. We plan to do further alpha releases which focus on performance, including projects like TraceMonkey, speculative parsing, and many Fennec and Gecko optimizations. But in the meantime, we feel it is important to make this early release available to continue to grow the community and gather feedback as early as possible in the development process.
