While browsing through the web i came across to this image…yes its the Nexus One running Mozilla Firefox on Android Platform! We have seen similar image of the browser running on Android before but its the first time that it has been spotted running on a device live in action. In the image it looks very stable and easy to use with computer like interface and feel, it would be very easy to use for native Firefox users. Firefox for mobile project is called Fennec for Android phones.It has same navigation toolbar, menubar and tabs just like you have on your Mozilla Firefox running on computers. The browser can be landing in our Android devices soon and i guess developers are testing it on different devices for clearance (this is what what i think)…well we can’t confirm that may be we receive an image of Droid running the same browser tomorrow, or we see the release of it in some close time, only time will tell.
This is what guys at Mozilla have said about it.
You’ll note that this is the full Firefox interface, and not the Fennec/Firefox Mobile UI; we’re testing with the full interface because it’s significantly more complex than the mobile UI and stresses Gecko much more. So, if the full UI works, then Fennec should work fine as well. Given the interest in Android on netbook and tablet devices, an updated version of the full Firefox UI might find a home on some of these. Android has been pretty great to work with so far; it’s a bit unusual platform for us due to its Java core, but with the NDK we’re able to bridge things together without many problems.
We’re still a ways to go before any kind of usable alpha release, but we’re certainly one step closer. We’ll also be able to accelerate our progress now that we have some of the basic scaffolding in place. I know I’m looking forward to running Fennec on my Droid, and there are tons of Android devices coming out that should be great platforms for Fennec.
