Mozilla has officially launched its Fennec mobile browser – essentially Firefox for mobiles – for Android handsets, plus the Nokia N900. Read on to find out what you’ll get if you take the plunge and stick the alpha version of Fennec on your phone…

A pre-alpha version of Firefox Fennec has been available for Android since late April, but this version is the “full” alpha. So while it’s still not the entirely finished article, it’s certainly deemed fit for purpose. Among its various features is built-in Firefox Sync, which keeps your Firefox tabs and bookmarks synced across various different devices (phone, laptop, iPod touch etc.).

To get Firefox Fennec, which offers pinch-to-zoom support, to work on your Android phone, you’ll need it to be running Android OS version of at least 2.x. And also be aware that even then you might experience issues as it’s only an alpha version. Firefox Fennec is already available for Symbian and Windows Mobile phones.
