fennec

Fennec's user interface is designed to be finger-friendly and easy to use on touchscreen devices.

Chris Finke, the developer of the URL Fixer add-on, posted in his weblog last week that the extension is now fully Fennec compatible.

Fennec foxes can be kept as pets, believe it or not, and are very sociable creatures.

Overall, however, I don't find Fennec to be categorically better than MicroB yet.

This allows users to have the same browser workspace on any device that supports Firefox or its mobile equivalent, Fennec.

This will likely deliver a much better experience with Fennec and remove some of the performance limitations.

After installing the package, I was able to launch Fennec from the application menu.

Present were a large chunk of the Fennec development team, add-on developers, localisers, and community members.

Mozilla intends to eventually make Fennec broadly available for various Linux, Windows Mobile, and Symbian devices.

Some Fennec extensions have already been made or ported from the desktop version of Firefox, including popular ones like NoScript.

An experimental implementation of Mozilla's Weave cloud synchronization system is also available for Fennec.

Someday, the Fennec Fox may become a mainstream commercially-available pet!

Three Brazilian army crew members had a lucky escape when their Eurocopter AS550 Fennec helicopter crashed in Nova Friburgo on 20 January.

Mozilla has announced the first official beta release of its mobile Firefox web browser, codenamed Fennec.

These aspects set Fennec apart from MicroB and other Gecko-based mobile browsers that are built using native widget toolkits.

However the release of the beta this month shows that solid progress is being made.

They also sought to minimize the amount of drawing that Fennec does at any given time.

I conducted extensive testing of the Fennec beta on my Nokia N810 Internet Tablet.

It's built with XUL, an XML-based user interface description language that is also used in the regular Firefox desktop browser.

Mozilla has published documentation that explains how to build your own Fennec extensions.

Fennec's use of XUL will offer some particularly intriguing advantages in the area of theming.

Of interest is that the Fennec Fox is an alternative pet.

Doug Turner has announced that a new feature called Geolocation is being included in Firefox 3. 5 and Fennec.

Fennec, the mobile version of Firefox, which was announced in April 2008, reached its beta earlier this year.

These are available from a new Fennec section at the addons. mozilla. org website.

Below is a video demo by Madhava Enros, who is in charge of designing the interface for Fennec.
