Good news, Nokia users! if you're fortunate enough to own one of those swish Maemo-powered smartphones: Firefox for Mobile has hit 1.0! The beta releases have been picking up pace, and now with the release candidate (RC) and a beautiful logo, Mozilla means business with Firefox for Mobile! Unfortunately this is just for Maemo-based devices, a distribution of Linux based on Debian. Right now ...

Oh my... not content with finally being at the stage where they're ready to release a working version of their 'Fennec' mobile web browser (albeit only for the Maemo based Nokia N900 initially), Mozilla seem to be on something of a mad world-domination-power-trip at the same time. Why? Well, Mozilla have declared that Firefox Mobile will render all existing device application stores ...

All ten of you that don't own a BlackBerry or iPhone... rejoice! I just can't believe I get to use the new Firefox for Mobile logo twice in two days. It might be buggy, it might be slow, but the Fennec web browser has finally been branded a Mozilla product and dubbed the 'Firefox for Mobile Beta 5'. If you want to see a picture of it up and running on a mobile handset, head on over to the ...

In the mobile browser wars, Webkit-based browsers seem to be pulling away from the pack. Don't count Firefox out yet, though, because the CEO of Mozilla says that Firefox has put together "the most advanced mobile browser," and it's due to hit Android phones soon. Fennec, the mobile version of Firefox, is based on Firefox 3.6, which is a generation ahead of the current desktop version of Firefox. ...

Om Malik waxed poetic over the weekend about a chat he had with Mozilla CEO John Lilly. Among the topics that came up: a Mozilla submission to Apple's App Store. Don't go getting all excited about a Fennec port for the iPhone. We're all well aware of Apple's stance on apps that compete with duplicate functionality of their own apps or offer choice "potential confusion for users." Fennec most ...

I've been using Weave for a while now to stay on top of my browsing syncing chores. While it's still in beta, Weave has already come a long way since its initial release. Yesterday, Mozilla Labs debuted version .5. The most noticeable change? Weave now stays out of the way while you're actively browsing in Firefox, waiting to go idle. On a mostly bare Firefox install (the only other addon I have ...

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 ...

Mozilla is continuing its march toward getting Firefox to run on every device imaginable. As expected, the team released an early build of Fennec (the codename for Firefox Mobile) designed to run on HTC Touch Pro smartphones. The Touch Pro is a Windows Mobile device, and eventually the browser will run on other Windows Mobile phones and additional mobile platforms including Symbian. But for now, ...

Mozilla is expected to release the first public alpha of the Fennec web browser for Windows Mobile sometime this week. But an early build of the web browser has already found its way onto the internet. You can download a copy from Mozilla developer Brad Lassey's files, or if that download link stops working soon, you can find the file at the MSMobiles web site. The mobile version of Firefox is ...

Mozilla's upcoming mobile web browser (codenamed Fennec) may be designed for cellphones and portable devices running Windows Mobile, Linux, and Symbian. But the neat thing about open source software is that you can port it to run on pretty much anything if you know what you're doing. Case in point? This video of Fennec running on an e-ink device. At this point, this is pretty much a proof of ...

Mozilla could release the first beta alpha version of Firefox for Windows Mobile devices in the first week of February. At launch, the browser (which is codenamed Fennec) will only be designed for the HTC Touch Pro. But I wouldn't be surprised to see Mozilla or third party developers port it to run on other Windows Mobile devices soon after. It's been a few months since the first screenshots ...

Mozilla has released Alpha 2 of its mobile web browser called Fennec. When Fennec grows up, it will probably be called something like Firefox Mobile and it will run on your cellphone. For now it runs on Nokia Internet Tablets. You can also take it for a test spin on Windows, OS X , and Linux computers. Fennec Alpha 2 looks a lot like Alpha 1. But there are a few changes under the hood. The ...

The team working on the mobile version of Firefox has been primarily focused on developing the browser for Linux and Windows Mobile devices so far. But around 50% of all the Smartphones in the world actually run the Symbian mobile operating system. So it should come as no surprise that Mozilla is also working on a version for Symbian phones. The plan is to have a working browser by the end of ...

Mozilla has released the first Alpha version of Fennec, the mobile web browser which currently runs on the Nokia N810 internet tablet, and which will soon run on Windows Mobile. Fennec is just a code name. Eventually the browser will probably be called something like Firefox Mobile. And there's a good reason for that. If you can view web content in Firefox, you can pretty much view it in Fennec. ...

We've known for a while that Mozilla was working on a mobile version of Firefox. In fact, you can already download early builds of the web browser, codenamed Fennec, but at the moment it will only run on the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet. But Mozilla says a Windows Mobile version of Fennec is on its way and that an Alpha release could come within the next few weeks. And now a few screenshots have ...
