Starting with this beta, I\u2019m able to use Fennec as the primary browser on my N810.  We\u2019ve done heavy optimizations to our frontend code and made a number of optimizations to the platform, resulting in greatly increasing zooming speed and making panning pretty smooth.  We\u2019ve also been able to improve startup performance by reducing a good bit of unnecessary work.  We\u2019ve enabled TraceMonkey bringing to mobile the huge JavaScript speed improvements the JIT has brought to  Firefox 3.1 betas.  A number of performance hotspots have been identified that we\u2019ll continue to focus on until we ship final \u2013  in fact, we have fixed number of issues already for the next beta.<\/p>\n<p>On the feature front, we\u2019ve enabled plugins so you can now watch videos on your favorite sites, and we\u2019ve got in our first pass at improved bookmark management and support for bookmark folders.  A lot of time was spent on infrastructure that we could use to build the rest of our app with.  You\u2019re now able to scroll things like preferences and the new bookmarks list.  One of our main focuses for the next milestone will be on polishing the user interface \u2014 areas like the extension manager will get a face lift and we\u2019ll start working more on some of the usability issues people have reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s note: Mozilla released Fennec 1.0 beta 1 on Tuesday, March 17, 2009 at 5:37 pm PT.
