Fennec - the codename for Mozilla Firefox mobile - is far from here. Not too far I hope. Our much loved browser and preferred alternative to Microsoft Internet Explorer is in production. The current leader is mobile browser obviously must be Opera Mini. The high quality and computer-like browsing we experience in browsers such as the S60 one, the IE for Windows Mobile, Opera Mini itself, NetFront, Safari, etc, is benefiting from the competition between manufacturers to provide users the joy and reason-of-use of high-speed connectivity found in phones. With technologies such as HSDPA and WiFi, many people wonder of what to use the internet for. These browsers give them the reason.

Firefox has been long loved for its faster response, atleast much faster from IE, and the variety of plugins available for it. Having one in a mobile phone is the dream of most of us, and Fennec will fulfil our dream. What you will read from the Head of User Experience at Mozilla Labs will sound that they are just constructing a browser for large-touchscreen phones, but rest assured as this is just the best part of it, and "Fennec" should be available for everything else as well.
