Yesterday, 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.
