Well it seems that the Alpha of Fennec, Firefox’s new mobile browser has leaked, and not with a weak stream, but a fully fledged gusher. It was only a few days ago that we had news of a Version being released for the Touch Pro, and the alpha is already circulating. Though not stable, it runs well enough for Brandon over at PocketNow to do a three minute video tour of the browser. Although he doesn’t mention the memory consumption, we have to assume that this will be a RAM hog, and not for devices with less memory than the Touch Pro, although it may be slimmed down with time, hopefully.

What is really good here is what looks like some real parity with the desktop version, such as the inclusion of plug-ins and add-ons. I’m a fan of FireFox, and the add-ons that I use make it a powerful cloud computing tool. I could but a new PC tomorrow, install Firefox, and my favourite add-ons, and be up and running effectively online in about an hour. Having the same ability on a new mobile would be awesome.
