Hands-on: Mozilla Fennec beta offers performance, features
Mozilla has announced the first official beta release of its mobile Firefox web browser, codenamed Fennec. The release includes significant performance improvements that speed up rendering and increase the responsiveness of the user interface. The Fennec project was first launched in 2007 when Mozilla established its new mobile team. They aimed to bring the full functionality of the Firefox web browser, including support for extensions, to handheld devices. [...] It's very clear that Mozilla has done much more than bring its rendering engine to handhelds. The Fennec project also provides the broader Firefox ecosystem with its powerful support for extensibility and the potential for leveraging XUL to build richer mobile user interfaces. These aspects set Fennec apart from MicroB and other Gecko-based mobile browsers that are built using native widget toolkits. Fennec's use of XUL will offer some particularly intriguing advantages in the area of theming. It will be trivially easy to reskin and adapt the user interface to accommodate devices with all kinds of unique form factors.
