0 Fennec : Firefox Mobile goes Alpha


Firefox has been the most desired browser on the computers and with the announcement of Fennec (Firefox on mobile) , smartphone users have been pretty excited about the pre alpha release from Firefox and now Firefox even has something better - the full alpha release which is not only focussing the Android's but will also be seen on Nokia's N900 .
While Firefox has always focused on the user experience , speed , formatting and addons on computer based browsers we couldnt expect them to cut off these features in their mobile version.
So what's new with thw Fennec
Increase in performance and responsiveness to user actions
Electrolysis :which lets the browser interface run in a separate process from the one rendering web content
Layers : promises to "greatly improve performance in graphic intensive actions like scrolling, zooming, animations and video.
full support for add-ons
Firefox Sync built into the browser to let you have a continuous experience as you move between devices like two phones or a phone and computer browser.
There's lot more to be seen in further releases , while this would we Firefox's first release , we could expect bugs and some crashes as normal features of the app ( may be not ) but overall i feel Mozilla fans really deserve an app on their smartphones .

You can download the App though the source below .
