Firefox to release its Windows Mobile 6+ Extension

Published: Oct 13th, 2008 | Author: Tibor

Firefox users have been waiting for Windows Mobile extension for Firefox and we have started getting screen shots its sooner than expected. This alpha version will support fingertip touch interaction, and the browser is designed in a way that the full device screen for content can be done. The control buttons and URL bar is hidden but can be easily uncovered with a single swipe of finger.

The current version is said to be under final touches and it will be release by this time next week codenamed as Fennec. It seems like not too many users will be able to use it as the code will only be available for Nokia’s N810 Internet Tablet. The alpha code is aimed at Mozilla community members, specifically to give the innovative touch user interface and the feature set a grueling workout.

According to Sullivan Mozilla vice president of mobile, there will likely be two or three additional alpha releases over the coming months before the beta version is released, presumably sometime in 2009
