When Mozilla will release Firefox Mobile?
probably not anytime soon, the latest build of Opera Mobile 9.5 should serve you well though.

Wont be for a lonnngg time.....
I think there is a concept version available:

and here:

looks like it'll eat lots of ram...even more than the current opera betas which only allowed for three concurrent tabs. But let's see...
The concept preview didn't show any killer features (like flash and plugin support). I really could care less about the interface. Netfront, Opera, and Picsel Browser are pretty finger friendly already.

FENNEC Alpha - Just Released

Description: The much anticipated Fennec mobile browser, made by the creators of Firefox, is finally in alpha stage. Now you have all the advantages of Firefox right on your Windows Mobile phone. Fennec's user interface controls have been rebuilt to be entirely CSS based. Fennec also supports Add-ons (there is a Twitter add-on, for example).

Thanks for the link... going to give it a shot
This software was not created/released by the OP, so it does not belong in Dev & Hack. Moving to General...
olllllllllllllld news
cheers, how is it working guys?

fennec

Does Fennec works?
Its very unstable on hd2,lags all the time and many times crash on most of devices because is alpha realese
And as far as I know they have stopped development of Fennec for Windows Mobile and they also wont develop for WP7 because it offers no NDK I think.
Yeah, the above posts are both right. I gave it a try for a while and couldn't even access a web page - it's nowhere near usable, although there was a nice sliding menu system.
You'd be better sticking with Opera or Skyfire.

Firefox Beta for Android Released

Mozilla have released the new beta of Mozilla Firefox for Android. Mozilla Firefox Beta features a complete new user interface and is completely compatible with Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

[APP][2.2+] Testing Firefox/Fennec ARMv6 Stability and Performance

Mozilla has been testing Firefox for Android on ARMv6 devices. We have had builds available for some time now, but we know that Firefox does not run optimally on all devices. Initially, we are limiting Firefox for Android to devices with 800MHz CPUs and 512MB of RAM. See this post for more info:
blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2012/09/07/firefox-for-android-beta-is-expanding-support-to-new-devices-help-us-test/
Many ARMv6 devices fall outside of these requirements, so we are looking for feedback on stability and performance for devices with lower specifications and we need your help. There are a lot of potential devices out there and we are not able to test Firefox on all of them. If you can't install the latest Firefox Beta for Android from the Google Play Store, it might be because your device falls outside the 800MHz/512MB requirement and we block it. You can install the Beta directly from the Mozilla FTP server: ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/16.0b4/android-armv6/multi/
If you take the time to test Firefox on your ARMv6 device and want to post some feedback, please include your device model so we can get the CPU speed and amount of RAM. We'd like you to think about how Firefox compares to the stock browser (or other browser) on your device. Things to try:
Load some web pages. Compare how long they take to load.
Scroll up and down longer pages. It should be smooth.
Open multiple tabs. Switch back and forth between them. It should be responsive.
Use the 'Reader' icon in the URL bar to view an easy-to-read version of articles and posts.
Accessing Bookmarks and History should be fast and scroll smoothly.
Does Firefox crash while loading pages or any other times?
Does Firefox seem to restart a lot when switching between applications?
Does Firefox feel slow and laggy? If so, when is it happening.
Thanks for your help. In addition, the Mozilla QA team is running a testday on September 28th for people to try out various new features and look for bugs. See:
quality.mozilla.org/?p=42896
If you have questions or comments, the Mobile team hangs out on Mozilla's IRC (irc.mozilla.org) in the #mobile channel.
Feel free to also subscribe to our mailing list: https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mobiletestdrivers-armv6 for news
