This is third alpha milestone of our mobile version of Firefox, codenamed Fennec, on the Windows Mobile 6 platform.

This release is provided for for testing purposes only, intended to: get wider feedback on our approach to the user experience; engage Mozilla community teams, including localizers, and testers; get feedback from Web developers; encourage add-on developers to port existing add-ons and invent new ones for mobile.

The initial focus of Fennec development was on building a new user experience that reflects Firefox's design principles, adding touch screen support and other interactions appropriate for mobile phones and other handheld devices. Fennec preserves leading features like the Smart URL Bar ("awesome bar") and support for add-ons.

This alpha release of Fennec on Windows Mobile continues the focus on performance, stability and integration with the Windows Mobile operating system. This version also includes numerous fixes, better performance and further refinement of our theme.
