Hands-on: Mozilla Fennec beta offers performance, features
,----[ Quote ]
| 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.
