The mobile version of the web browser has also been known as Fennec for most of that time. While this mobile version of Firefox has already hit some platforms as both <a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2009\/06\/29\/fennic-windows-mobile\/\">early alpha versions<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/01\/28\/firefox-for-maemo-rc3-lands-with-better-performance-without-plug-ins\/\">release candidates<\/a>, Android owners were understandably excited when <a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2009\/12\/09\/mobile-firefox-to-tie-desktop-and-mobile-web-on-maemo-and-android\/\">Mozilla confirmed a version for their platform <\/a>was under construction. Now it is being reported that there may not be very long to wait, as Mobile Firefox for Android may appear <a href=\"http:\/\/androidcommunity.com\/firefox-browser-coming-to-android-in-february-20100128\/\">as soon as next month<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mozilla is keeping mum on when the Android version may be released, but let&#8217;s hope this rumor pans out. Mobile Firefox should bring some welcome features to Android including bookmark syncing with the main Firefox and screen panning.<\/p>\n<p>Mobile Firefox already has some cool features that should make mobile browsing a great experience. Take a look at this from Mozilla:<\/p>\n<div id=\"inline-related-posts-55520\" class=\"widget inline-related-posts alignleft clearfix\">\n<div class=\"widget-wrap\">\n<div class=\"widget-title-wrap clearfix\">\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">More on <span><a class=\"category-link\" href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/topic\/web\" title=\"Web\">Web<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<ul class=\"inline-related-posts\">\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/01\/30\/firefox-for-maemo-first-look\/\">A First Look at Firefox for&nbsp;Maemo<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/01\/29\/how-to-automatically-save-email-attachments-in-the-cloud\/\">How To Automatically Save Email Attachments in the&nbsp;Cloud<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/01\/28\/firefox-for-maemo-rc3-lands-with-better-performance-without-plug-ins\/\">Firefox for Maemo RC3 Lands With Better Performance, Without&nbsp;Plug-Ins<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/01\/21\/mobile-tech-minutes-seesmic-look-on-a-touch-tablet-video\/\">Mobile Tech Minutes: Seesmic Look on a Touch Tablet&nbsp;Video<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"widget-bottom clearfix\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>The Awesome Bar searches your history, bookmarks and tags to go to  your favorite sites instantly<\/li>\n<li>Share your Firefox preferences, history, and bookmarks between  your desktop and mobile<\/li>\n<li>Add-ons to make your browser your own<\/li>\n<li>Tabs that let you browse multiple sites at once<\/li>\n<li>One-touch bookmarking to quickly organize websites<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are other mobile browsers for the different phone platforms that have some of these features, that&#8217;s not new.
