Mobile Firefox “Fennec” Milestone 7 released

The Mozilla Mobile team has announced that “Fennec (Mobile Firefox) has reached milestone 7 (M7) and can be installed on a Nokia N8x0 for testing. We got some good feedback (and bug reports) from M6, so there are more than a few bug fixes in M7. Other additions include better add-on support, initial kinetic scrolling, modeless password manager, and some zooming tweaks. Please take Fennec M7 for a spin and file some bugs.” The Mobile team has posted install instructions and the M7 Readme. You can read the full release announcement at Mark Finkle’s weblog.

Firefox Mobile design session: bookmarks

Aza Raskin writes, “For the third installment of the Firefox Mobile design discussions, it’s bookmark time. Bookmarks have been a fundamental feature in the browser since Mosaic days. Do they have a place in Mobile? Are there better paradigms? How are they displayed? What’s the difference between a tab and a bookmark? Is it only a matter of one being in the device’s memory?” These are some of the questions that are asked and answered in the third video installment of the Firefox Mobile design sessions. Aza and Madhava look forward to your thoughts and feedback. More information is available at Aza’s weblog.
