It seems everyone has forgotten the meaning of ALPHA software! Its going to force close, its going to be a huge file, its going to lock up at random times! From what we can see from this alpha, Fennec will be a great browser for android ONCE its ready.

I was able to get it to run on my Incredible after disabling Swype. However it is very difficult to get it to work. Sometimes it will take a URL and go. Other times it will hang. Impossible at times to see what you are typing. Force closures.

Hopefully they can get this working much better as it has the ability to use add-ons just like the PC version fo Firefox.

Installed on Droid X android 2.1 locks up right away. Disabled Swype relaunched and it’s working. Currently 2 swype bugs hope they fix that soon. Swype is COOL!

Works on my Droid X, but it’s a little slow and buggy. Plus pinch to zoom is jerky and imprecise. Otherwise, this seems to be the most thought through browser for a touchscreen based device so far.

Works fine on my Unlocked T-Mobile Nexus One running Froyo. Not polished, and is buggy when you zoom in and out on a page, but looks very promising. Very fast page loading. And to answer your question, NO, Adobe Flash is NOT working in this build of Fennec. It works on my phone with the default browser tho. Anyone else notice the strange Save As PDF feature?

That link is to a “try server” build which was created by a developer to test a specific patch. If you want the latest official nightly build, plus a list of known issues and other news, go to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android

Well it seems as if I was one of the few people who actually had this work for me. Looks like the finished build will be very nice and feature-rich, but this is so obviously in Alpha stage to make it unusable as anything more than just a “tryout.” If the finished build works anywhere nearly as well as Dolphin HD, I’ll be switching to Fennec. Of course, by the time Fennec is actually released, Dolphin browser may have evolved into an entirely different browser.

Does it support the flash plugin?
If not, pointless.

Just to add to the list of no-go’s: repeated FC’s on UK Milestone on Vodafone. Dang!

In order to get it to work and not FC you have to turn off Swype or Swiftkey Beta and use the normal input keyboard, this still doesn’t mean something else would cause the browser to FC but it is pre alpha…
