Mozilla Fennec (Firefox Mobile) hits beta

Mozilla has released the first public beta of the mobile version of Firefox. Fennec beta 1 will run on Nokia N810 Internet Tablets, Windows, OS X, or Linux computers. A Windows Mobile version will be available later.

The newest build of Fennec features faster zooming, panning, and start-up times. It also users Mozilla's TraceMonkey JavaScript engine, allows for editing of bookmarks and use of bookmark folders. And perhaps most exciting, this is the first version to add support for plugins. There aren't very many compatible plugins yet, but that will likely change in the coming months.

The Mozilla team has put together a video demonstrating the browser's features. You can check it out after the jump.
