Several things you can expect about mobile Firefox

The mobile version of Firefox has become a topic for everyone. Mozzila has now released the Alpha code of Mobile Firefox, codes: Fennec, Nokia N810, and N800. Users can experience this promising mobile browser in advance. Although most people do not yet have the ability to experience Mobile Firefox, there are a few things we can expect, including using the full screen display of the side navigation, including history, bookmarks, search for the Awesome Bar of Firefox 3 and a large number of Firefox extensions.

Navigation

Fennec has a full-screen browsing mode, which is consistent with the early design. Opera Mobile 9.5 beta also has similar features. This function is very reasonable. it is of no use to display a bunch of buttons on a cell phone's small screen. In, the navigation button is placed on the right side of the screen.

Awesome Bar

Do not expect that mobile Firefox will contain the complete Awesome Bar of Firefox 3, but there will be some very close functions to save your typing time. In a demo video of Mozilla, you can see that there is a bookmarks button on the left of the URL address bar to quickly access your favorite site from the drop-down list. When you enter a URL in the address bar, these favorite addresses are displayed at the bottom of the address bar.

However, the search results at the bottom of the screen are confusing. it is much easier to enter keywords in the address bar to search for them. Is it better to search directly in the URL address bar?

The Tabs and control buttons will also be transformed based on the mobile features. the control button is on the right of the screen, and Tabs can display web page preview. it is still to be seen whether the browsing speed will be affected.

Extension

Fennec's goal is to retain the desktop version of Firefox as much as possible. Even in earlier versions, you can save and automatically enter the password. Anyone who enters characters, numbers, and symbols on a mobile phone will like these time-saving features. No matter how hard you work, the mobile keyboard is not an ideal input device.

Fennec also contains pop-up window blocking and website icons. More importantly, Fennec supports plug-in extension. However, because the mobile phone screen is small, these extensions may be accessed by right-clicking menus or pop-up control bars.

The most attractive part of Firefox itself is its rich extensions. introducing extensions in Mobile Firefox may be a weapon to defeat Opera Mini or Mobile.

Flash video?

The Mozilla team knows that many people want to watch videos on their mobile phones, so it is necessary to support Flash. Fennec officially said that they will support the corresponding API plug-ins, so that once Adobe is ready, they can immediately implement YouTube video playback in Mobile Firefox.

Fennec on Windows Mobile

There is a talk about when Fennec will be available on the internet. Jay Sullivan, Mozilla mobile director, said Fennec had to go through a transformation process. First, it must support both the touch screen and non-touch screen, both horizontal display and vertical display. at the same time, it should also be adjusted for relatively small screens.

It should be noted that the two Nokia mobile phones mentioned above use a screen much larger than the average mobile phone, giving mobile Firefox a relatively ample space to display their talents, before the official launch, there is still a lot of work to be done to make mobile Firefox support ordinary consumer phones.
