Mozilla based browser engine available for testing
Posted by gasusan2005 on 07/19/07 in Software, Tablet PC, The Internet
Sharing the same key components than Firefox, this new browser engine has the capability to deliver advanced web technologies inside a pocketable form factor. The newest internet services will function on the Nokia N800, thanks to best-of-breed open standards support including full-AJAX, and integrated Adobe Flash 9. This also allows the creation of add-on’s to personalize the browsing experience.
How to download and give feedback
Feedback is very helpful for the ongoing development and testing work. The application is ready for end users: just install the browser engine in one-click and start using it!
After installation the Mozilla based browser engine will be set as default. The user interface of the open browser engine and the official Opera browser is the same, you will notice the difference in the functionality and behavior. Users can switch back to the official Opera browser through the “Advanced” option in the browser application menu. You can also deinstall the open browser from Application Manager at any time, without loosing bookmarks or other settings made for Opera.
You can submit feedback and suggestions to bugs.maemo.org. Advanced users, developers and potential contributors can find more details in maemo.org/browser.
Add-ons and extensions
Thanks to the open standard support and shared code base with Firefox, developers are able to easily port add-ons and extensions available in mozilla.org. Firefox extensions are not directly usable, though. More detailed information on add-on development can be found on maemo.org/browser and mozilla.org
Note: This browser engine is not coming from the Minimo project. The Minimo project targets mobile devices with a reduced set of features, but bases on the same Mozilla components as the new browser for tablets.
