Thanks Ben. I will keep following the progress and maybe in future
something will be there in which I can help.

yet. great for my mobile look forward to see what add-ons they put
with it.

increase/decrease the width and/or height

It would be nice if there were a way to increase/decrease the width
and/or height for the overall browser. One thing that I notice when
using the mobile browsers are that most sites don't take into account
the low resolution of the cellphones, so the web pages don't seem come
out looking like they're supposed to.

Re: Non-touchscreen Fennec

Currently Fennec is for touch screen devices only. A non-touch screen
version hasn't been ruled out, but it remains unplanned future work.
A non-touch screen version was discussed early on in the Fennec product
planning. Here is one proposed mock up
([link]).

Non-touchscreen Fennec

2010-01-05T15:19:32Z

I have a non-touchscreen phone with Win Mobile 6.1 and I installed the
latest Fennec version. I restarted my phone and then booted up Fennec.
It loaded, but I couldn't get it to do anything. No onscreen mouse
like in IE mobile, nothing like that. I looked around but didn't see
anything that said this was touchscreen only.

Right now, most of the Android work is around getting basic platform
elements working as native applications run outside of the Davik virtual
machine. For example, I'm working on getting tests running for the NSPR
(Netscape Portable Runtime Library).
Android-specific UI work is still a bit into the future. You can see

You can also go to full-screen mode with standard Firefox by hitting
F11. Fennec isn't really optimized for non-touch usage, so you may find
Firefox a better fit.

It wasn't possible to port Firefox for Android because software for
Android is written in Java and core of Firefox is written in C/C++.
In september this year Google released Android 1.6 NDK which made
Firefox pro Android possible. See:

I think this was a total mistake in not hitting the android platform
first. How many people own the Nokia phone, compared to android
devices?

Fennec for Windows Mobile

2009-12-29T05:59:01Z

Hi,
I have noticed that it has been awhile since a new version of Fennec
for Windows Mobile has been released. Is Mozilla still developing it
or is it being cancelled?

Re: google

2009-12-28T19:40:22Z

no i don't have any other browsers to test this with, a quick fix
would be to specifically disable java on the google main page

Re: google

2009-12-28T19:28:13Z

Hm. Tricky. Have you tried in other browsers that don't have a mouse cursor? I wonder if we should be serving up a different UA to get the mobile version of that site.
cheers,
