AFAIK it is an official project of Mozilla aimed at making a mobile browser (something that can compete with Pocket IE and Opera Mobile/Mini, I think). In some respects it is very similar to Firefox (rendering engine is Gecko, for example)

Would it be possible to get a screenshot of the Wikipedia main page (preferably) from an actual mobile device? The screenshot up there is nice, but it doesn't highlight the major application of Fennec, which is mobile browsing. Any takers?

Anyone knows if they gonna port it to S60v5 platform? Couldn't find any mention on their website.
I am asking because Nokia 5800 XM direly needs a good browser now. The default one is very inconvenient and the only alternative is Opera Mini, which is even worse. —Preceding

Firefox for mobile
The browser is now officially under the Firefox name as Firefox for mobile
[1][2] I'm moving the page to reflect the change, I think the logo can also now be added to the infobox (mozilla also announced that
this logo will be used on social networking sites, t-shirts etc... but I think the browser will be using the Firefox logo. It would be nice if someone can update the screen-shot to the latest built preferably showing the wikipedia main page.

Shouldn't it be changed to "Firefox for Android" now that it is only made/updated/supported for that platform? And thats the name Mozilla use at their web page as well.

On the N900 the browser is unbranded and entitled 'MicroB', although seemingly still Fennec underneath. Anyone know the reason for this? MicroB is unmentioned on Wikipedia, or practically anywhere else —Preceding

Before anyone is going to delete the list of add-ons once more, sufficient consensus should be reached here first, along with meaningful discussion. -Mardus /

— As to whether the below list of add-ons for Firefox on Android should be kept in this article. This large amount of section content has been
removed once by an experienced red-link user, and after I reinstated the list, it was soon
removed again by another user, and during that removal, an image illustrating one add-on was also removed by that user. -Mardus /

Security and connectivity
NoScript Anywhere (
3.5
a10, GPL) — a whitelist-based extension, whereby users can allow (or block again) JavaScript functionality on a per-domain basis (see picture), and with the benefit of greatly reducing bandwidth consumption and device resource usage. The mobile version is simpler than the desktop version, yet serves the same purpose;
Adblock Edge (MPLv2) — discontinued fork of Adblock Plus 2.1.2, without the sponsored ads whitelist. Most recent version released on 28 March 2015;[1]
Adblock Plus (GPL) — used for blocking ads through a paired blacklist and whitelist;
uBlock and uBlock Origin (GPLv3) — content-filtering, includes ad-blocking. uBlock Origin is maintained by the original developer of uBlock. This add-on is said by an Adblock Edge developer to outperform his own extension.[1]
Proxy Mobile (aka ProxyMob; open source, discontinued) — simple front-end that exposes Firefox proxy settings. The add-on can be used in conjunction with the native Adblock Plus app or other Android apps that use proxying to filter traffic. The ProxyMob project page warns that Firefox for Android does does not follow proxy settings when downloading
favicons;[2]
Privacy Settings (MPL) — exposes Firefox's privacy settings for safe browsing, telemetry,
DRM,
geolocation,
WebRTC, Hello, Pocket, and search suggestions;
Save Link Menus (v0.2.1; MPL/GPL/LGPL tri-license) — Adds a menu item to save a page or link to local storage. Note that the add-on is currently in alpha state
Stylish (GPL) — Allows the user to install custom style sheets in order to modify the appearance of specific sites or pages according to taste or preference.

I have just added archive links to one external link on
Firefox for mobile. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
