I’ve been waiting for the release of Firefox’s mobile web browser, codenamed Fennec, ever since the proof of concept video that User Experience Design lead Aza Raskin released back in July. Firefox’s mobile browser effort was scrapped and completely restarted in the last year with a focus on performance and usability that looks on par with any other mobile browser I’ve seen. Their other goal is to improve Javascript support, which might actually make the browser a contender against Safari mobile only available on more phones.
Now Mozilla CEO, John Lilly is hinting at an Alpha release of Firefox Mobile that should be ready within the coming weeks. It’s not clear when exactly the Alpha version will be released nor for what platforms. Hopefully we’ll hear more about this release very soon.
