Mozilla Progress on Fennec (Firefox Mobile) for #Android

can hardly wait!

Android Progress: More Pixels Edition
orting Firefox/Fennec to Android is progressing at a good clip. After working out a few kinks (and setting the all-important “you’re allowed to touch the network” permission), I just got our first page load:
You’ll note that this is the full Firefox interface, and not the Fennec/Firefox Mobile UI; we’re testing with the full interface because it’s significantly more complex than the mobile UI and stresses Gecko much more.  So, if the full UI works, then Fennec should work fine as well.
Android has been pretty great to work with so far; it’s a bit unusual platform for us due to its Java core, but with the NDK we’re able to bridge things together without many problems.
We’re still a ways  to go before any kind of usable alpha release, but we’re certainly one step closer.  We’ll also be able to accelerate our progress now that we have some of the basic scaffolding in place. Read more at blog.vlad1.com
