I got the chance to test a beta version of Firefox on a pre-release mobile device. The browser, code-named Fennec, is the closest thing yet to a real, desktop-class browser for mobiles. Wow, its about time that Firefox shows up on our mobile-phones! More details: http://bit.ly/android-firefox-details Firefox will begin showing up on mobile devices at the end of this year.

Dolphin has multi-touch, Fennec so far does not. Dolphin has much larger, swipe-through previews of all your tabs, Fennec so far does not. Dolphin has Delicious and sharing integration, Fennec so far does not. Perhaps extensions will make up for this for Fennec, although not so sure about the multi-touch. Being able to quickly pinch-zoom in and out of pages is a blessing, and it's the one deal breaker for me (even the Awesome Bar isn't enough to sway me from that). When/if Fennect gets multi-touch, then it will be a no brainer to get Fennec. Until then, I'm still in love with Dolphin.

Opera and Steel never seemed to seriously try to improve their convoluted UI issues over their good bases. Dolphin is the first success (for me at least). Lets hope Mozilla continues the trend with a functional browser. It seems the common issue is dealing with such limited screen real-estate and potential for functionality. The editing(cutting back) and menu-designers will likely make or break this browser. I’ve been watching and waiting for Fennec for some time.

Being able to work on it on the go would be a huge help, so I can't wait for Fennec so I can bug our extension guy to work on a mobile version!

I use chrome now because my firefox loads very slow and I can't get my self to delete or turn off any more of my remaining add-ons. I imagine this would be a much bigger problem in the mobile realm as lack of sufficient processing power is already a big issue. If this mobile firefox can stay fast with all the add-ons I'm gonna be tempted to put on it then that'll be great, otherwise I dunno. .

Can someone please show me evidence I am wrong and/or this has changed? Because I would absolutely love to see Fennec on android. I also want a browser that can have bookmark folders to tidy up my 596 bookmarks I have.
