"Early adopters, it's time to rejoice: Mozilla has officially released the \"pre-alpha\" of Firefox for Android \u2014 a.k.a. Fennec.  It is available now for testing.\nThe early build, revealed by Mozilla developer Vladimir Vuki\u0107evi\u0107, is part of an effort by Mozilla to test the mobile browser with a broader set of users.  In his words, it is \"usable enough that we wanted to get some feedback on it.\"\nVuki\u0107evi\u0107 stresses in his blog post that Fennec on Android is pre-alpha, providing several warnings about this release.  Because it is such an early release and it still has bugs, it can cause Android phones to crash, requiring a reboot.  Memory usage is not yet optimized, links from other apps can't be opened using Fennec, and it has only been tested on the Motorola Droid and Nexus One.\nThe pre-alpha build does come with some interesting features, though. Vuki\u0107evi\u0107 specifically highlights compatibility with Weave, which synchronizes bookmarks and tabs across multiple browsers.  \nLet's be clear: This app is very, very early stage and runs best on Nexus One phones or faster \u2014 my test run of Fennec on my Droid was a very slow and bug-filled experience.  This is to be expected from a pre-alpha build, which is exactly why Mozilla opened up the app for testing.\nAre you going to install Firefox for Android?  If you do download Firefox for Android, let us know what you think of it in the comments.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more mobile coverage, follow Mashable Mobile on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
