F My Life: It's Funny, It's True, Except When It Happens to You

fennec Fennec Alpha 1 For Windows Mobile Goes Live: Firefox MobileYesterday, Mozilla rolled out Alpha 1 of Fennec for Windows Mobile.

This is just an Alpha of course, so this release is bound to be a little buggy, but at least it gives us an idea of what to expect.

What’s new in this build (thanks to MobileCrunch):

  • 3 months worth of bug fixes and performance upgrades.
  • Fennec UI have been rebuilt entirely in CSS, allowing Mozilla to tweak the UI for different handsets without having to go in and change the hardcoding. This should make it a lot less complex to port Fennec to different screensizes and resolutions.
  • Add-ons! Add-ons are an integral part of Firefox, and something much clamored for in its mobile spinoff. Add-ons won’t jump directly over from Firefox, but users are already hard at work at creating them.

If you happen to have a Windows Mobile handset that's using a resolution of 480×640, feel free to try it out.  You can get the installation CAB files here.
