16 May, 2009, 2:50 pm IST | by Shayne Rana | Mobile phones

For those of you Firefox fans looking forward to the company’s handheld Fennec browser, there’s no good news just yet, sorry. The latest update though talks about it reaching an Alpha 1 stage now and a few improvements to the system.


The latest Fennec Alpha 1 for Windows Mobile 6 is available for download by developers and testers and the new developments include -
  • The memory management library has been ported to Windows CE and turned on for Fennec. This allows Fennec to manage memory much more efficiently.
  • Fennec’s user interface controls have been rebuilt to be entirely CSS-based. This will allow developers to more easily adjust their UI for various screen sizes and resolutions in the future.
  • This release will also support Add-ons.
