Just to get it out of the way, Mozilla had no official news to share at CTIA 2010 in Las Vegas. That didn't stop us from catching up with Jay Sullivan, Mozilla's vice president of mobile, to lay a finger on the pulse of Firefox's browser for mobile phones. (After all, why should Opera have all the fun?)
After releasing the portable version of Firefox for Windows phones, Mozilla team is now all set to release the ambitious Firefox for mobile project called Fennec for Android phones. According to a member of the Fennec team, the project port of Fennec for Android is coming on nicely and it shouldn’t be too long before you can try it on your favorite Android based handset.
Here is what they have to say about it.
Mozilla today released Firefox 3.6, the first upgrade to the open-source browser since last June.
Firefox 3.6 was posted to Mozilla's download servers early Thursday, just over five months after the browser first entered public testing with an alpha release. The upgrade shifted to beta in early November 2009, then wrapped up with a pair of release candidates (RC).
RC2, which reached testers last weekend, was sufficiently bug-free that Mozilla renamed that build as the final it shipped today.
The new browser includes built-in support for the scaled-down browser skins dubbed "Personas;" adds support for new CSS, DOM and HTML 5 technologies, as well as for full-screen video and the open-source Web Open Font Format (WOFF).
