When Firefox released the first Alpha build (http://www.wmexperts.com/official-firefox-mobile-alpha-release-out) of its mobile browser -- aka Fennec (http://wmexperts.com/tags/fennec) -- in May, it left a lot of you underwhelemed. Hey, it was an Alpha build. Don't say we (and Mozilla) didn't warn you. But work has been progressing, and Mozilla just released the Alpha 2 build. Here's what's new in Alpha 2: (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/fennec/1.0a2-wm/releasenotes/)
Improved panning performance
Newly designed theme
JavaScript error console is now built in
Improved add-on support
Numerous bug fixes
Improved UI polish
As per the usual, Mozilla is developing for the HTC Touch Pro. So back up your info, and get to testing. Here's the download link. (http://download.mozilla.org/?product=fennec-1.0a2&os=winmo&lang=en-US) (Don't have a Touch Pro? Try out the desktop versions. (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/fennec/1.0a2-wm/releasenotes/#start))
Here's one fairly big known bug (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458741) worth noting:Allow panning/scrolling in iframes - Websites that display large amounts of content in IFrames, including Google Mail and Reader, will be very hard, if not impossible, to use.
