Mozilla Fennec is an early developer release of the mobile version of Firefox for use on Windows, Linux and Mac.
Fennec will bring a true Web experience to mobile phones and other non-PC devices, yet take advantage of the specific opportunities for new and useful user experiences enabled by mobility and telephony. Fennec will do what users need out of the box, enabling access to their favorite content and rich internet applications. It will integrate smoothly with device features, including easy initiation of phone calls from Web pages, access to local search, maps and directions. It will solve basic usability challenges have generally prevented the mobile Web experience from being pleasant and enjoyable, even though people have a critical need for data when on the go.

Um. Took forever to install, and after installing, kept crashing randomly when opened.
Finally got it open, though it still takes forever to load. I feel like it is much more suited for a touchscreen device, despite the sluggish ability to navigate without one.
I guess I will just wait until I get a better phone.

Works on my TM TP2. Interface is nice. Would not start after installing an extension. Had to manually delete the folder w/the extension for it to boot right. Looking forward to weave with this. I really am looking forward to this. Make it faster, a little better zooming, and some tweaks in the interface and this can easily give IE a run for it's money! (And opera to an extent. Having browser choices is a good thing. Keeps them on the ball)
Will there be a WebOS version of this since both WebOS and Mozilla tools are both open source?
