I've tried both regular and mobile sites.

All I have seemed to get was the checkerboard screen. And a page load error.

The version that I downloaded from another site barely works. The "tabbed" browsing looks like a great concept;howeve, most sites crash during or just after rendering. I am actually excited to see this go Beta with fewer bugs. The rendering quality and deatures look cool.

Firefox "Fennec" Beta Unleashed to Public

Engadget Mobile is reporting that the "Fennec" build, a Mozilla Firefox build of the browser for Windows Mobile, is now available for download. Note that this version is for the Touch Pro and its variants, including the HTC Fuze on AT&T.

There may be still some early bugs as this is an early release. Let us know how you like it and if you're ready to ditch Opera or Skyfire.

You can download the browser via Mozilla. Also, if you'd like to see Fennec in action, check out our video tour of an earlier alpha release.

I am going to give it a whirl on the diamond today to see how it works. Good luck guys!


Edit: some of the comments on the site say it wont work on the diamond but I be the guinee pig. I figured it was worth trying it since it's beta now. I have tried it and it loads but the screen never comes up. It's not usuable at this time. At least we know they are in beta and hopefully the diamond will be supported soon.

It's not even beta, according to Mozilla it's not even pre-Alpha yet, but for those of you having problems with page loadings, a bug report has been submitted:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477956

feel free to add your reports to that so they can better isolate the problem and fix it.

what differences are there, operationally, between the diamond and pro, that would make fennec work on one but not the other?

There's no software keyboard support, so good luck trying to type anything in

Don't worry - you're not missing much, if it's anything like the leak (and apparently it's barely any better).

I love Firefox to death on the PC, but this needs some more time in the oven.
