New Mozilla Fennec Mobile Android Alpha build!

I got it working and yea this is def an alpha build. Its pretty difficult to use let alone test. They have a lot of work to do if they want to match Dolphin.
 
I tried the pre-alpha versions and they did not like my Droid X. I will wait for the official release whenever that may be.
 
So far I'm digging it. It's majorly slow and a very large file but it's still just an Alpha release so that's forgivable. I can't wait to try out the Firefox Sync when I get home!
 
i'm a big fan of firefox as well... i've never downloaded a 3rd party android browser yet but i would download this one when its at least in beta stage.

i do have one question, will this automatically fix itself to the browser button on the froyo launcher? if not would there be a way to do that? i'm not too fond of the stock android browser.
 
uninstalled it this morning. I has SO MUCH potential but just isn't there yet. I'll wait for beta or official before downloading again.

yes, when you hit the browser button it will ask you which browser you want to use and give you the option to set it to default.
 
Have to agree with majority of posts so far this app has gr8 potential and im a big fan of firefox and thunderbird so prob will be downloading this further thru its development. Few things i noticed at mo is slightly sluggish and zoom functions/landscape are slow to respond but only alpha so not a bad start for now
 
the .install file is only when you download from PC. Visit the site in your mobile browser and it will download .apk file

(data inside the .install file points to a 404 not found)

also about people saying not enough space, I found that the "Package Installer" program inside settings->manage applications may be taking up many mb of space because the installation for Fennec is around 11mb. you can clear the data and see if that helps.
