The Alpha 1 of the Fennec browser fro Windows Mobile is now available. This morning, Mozilla began distributing Alpha 1 of Fennec for Windows Mobile.  Mozilla’s devs don’t recommend the use of Fennec Alpha 1 for everyday browsing. This initial version is targeted for HTC Touch PRO and users are invited to download and test this version. More phones would be added in future releases.
New features & fixes include:
*3 months worth of bug fixes and performance upgrades.
*Fennec UI have been rebuilt entirely in CSS, allowing Mozilla to tweak the UI for different handsets without having to go in and change the hardcoding. This should make it a lot less complex to port Fennec to different screensizes and resolutions.
*Add-ons! Add-ons are an integral part of Firefox, and something much clamored for in its mobile spinoff. Add-ons won’t jump directly over from Firefox, but users are already hard at work at creating them.
