Firefox Mobile ‘Fennec’ Pre-Alpha Now Available

1st Fennec Pre-Alpha for Windows Mobile

It’s a week late(ish), but the first Windows Mobile version of Fennec – the codename for the upcoming Firefox Mobile web browser – is now available for download.  The download is designed to run on the HTC Touch Pro ONLY. 

This is a pre-alpha, meaning that it’s a light year away from ready for primetime, but if you have an HTC Touch Pro (AT&T Fuze) and intestinal fortitude, you can download the .CAB installer and get to browsin’…

… or maybe not.

We’ve installed Fennec v0.11 and while the program does run on our HTC Touch Pro (after the better part of a minute) we couldn’t actually browse any web pages.  All we got was a checker board background and a Welcome to Fennec page title, and we’re not the only ones.  Let us know if you have better luck.

But, for good or ill, this first pre-alpha for Windows Mobile shows that Mozilla is hard at work on a mobile version of the web browser 21% of us use and love.

NOTE: We recommend that you backup your device before installing this pre-alpha.
