Firefox for Mobile

18 October 2008 No Comment

For now its being called Fennec,  currently it is only available to Nokia N800 and N810 users. Fennec has a full-screen mode that provides the entirety of the screen for your browsing pleasure like in Opera. Tabs and controls will receive a new mobile-specific treatment as well. Instead of hovering above in buttons. We will need to wait and see how this thing handles on continuous browsing. Fennec’s goals is to carry over as much functionality from Firefox 3 as possible.

It supports pop-up blocking and other such standard features. Fennec supports add-ons. Are already available, but this build is going out now in part to engage the thousands of independent add-on developers in the conversation of building, porting, and deploying mobile extensions. The official report state’s that as Fennec supports plug-ins, Adobe can release a flash version for the browser. 

The support for plug-ins should make it a versatile browser which is highly customizable which is what FireFox has been about all the while. Even though it will be a longer wait than most want it to be till the time we see a Fennec for Windows Mobile or other platforms, but let us hope that it will be worth it.
