Firefox on Windows Mobile - Fennec Features
(Page 3 of 3 )
Offering a full-screen view, Fennec can be displayed in portrait or landscape sizes. For devices without touch screens, the browser will also provide a mouse pointer for alternate navigation. Zoom options allow users to adjust the height, width or overall size of what they’re viewing on their screens.
Though it’s made for the mobile Web, Fennec provides a lot of the options users have grown used to seeing with Mozilla Firefox. Secure browsing, multiple tab support and keyboard shortcuts help you navigate quickly and easily, even on several pages all at once. The virtual keyboard lets you browse however you please, entering information as necessary. You can even use Fennec to input passwords, set a start page and integrate devices with Javascript.
Fennec is a fully functional browser for the mobile Web, no restrictions, no limitations. The download manager, password manager and application manager have been put in place to give users a personalized browsing experience with customized features and usage. Just as you would with the standard Internet version of Firefox, Fennec allows you to create and organize bookmarks so you can browse back to your favorite locations on the Web.
Firefox for Your Mobile
Love Firefox on your desktop or laptop? Firefox for your mobile will offer a lot of familiar features, options and add-ons that can make you feel right at home even when you’re out of the house and using your favorite mobile device. Mozilla plans to release Fennec before 2009 is over, so this mobile browser should soon be widely available for all users who’d like to give Firefox on their smart phones a try.
