Fennec, Mozilla’s upcoming mobile browser, is peeking its head out of the alpha hidey-hole, but it best go back under for awhile. Fennec promises a lot of cool features like swipe-based menu summoning, easy access to site certificates, tabbed browsing, predictive URLs, and tagged bookmarks, but as you can see, there is still a lot of stability work to be done. Right now, desktop and Nokia N810 Internet Tablet alpha versions of mobile Firefox are available for download and testing. Easily the most exciting thing we’re looking forward to is the add-on support which made Firefox so popular, but that could prove to be a problem with the limited memory and processing power of mobile phones; add-ons will either need to be fairly simple or limited in number to keep things running smoothly.
