Mozilla's mobile version of its firefox browser has been in first alpha, as with Fennec beta 1 for the Alpha 1 for Windows Mobile 6 (download the CAB file) has been tailor-made for the HTC Touch Pro, with an intention to expand to more handsets in future releases. The flashiest feature to expect is support for add-ons. In addition to a list of recommended add-ons is a tab to start searching for more extensions.

As compared to opera mobile 9.5. It is more of a challenge now, as compared to the previous minimo, which was a little lame as compared to opera. The user interface has the Awesome Bar search field front and center, which serves up suggested search terms in addition to showing off your search history. Flick the screen to the left to see bookmarking tools and the add-ons manager in a gutter on the right. Flick to the right to expose the icons that comprise your "tabbed" browsing experience. The rest of the screen is devoted to your Web page.

What you see there is quite deceiving as I tested it on a HTC TYTN II which perhaps, has a slower processor as compared to what was on the video. The response time for each action was around 4 to 5 secs, which is quite slow. Not for the impatient sort. The lauching of the program itself took a hell of a time as compared to opera that could start in 1o secs. But one encouraging note about this browser is that it is able to load the whole page layout a lot faster as compared to opera, which is a good start for a beta. I can't wait for it to be finalized.
