hey guys it's brandon minimun from pocket now calm and this is a preview video of fennec web browser which is Mozilla's upcoming mobile browser now this is the alpha version so it's very unstable I don't recommend that you install it it's not even close to ready but we can get a really good feel for the features that benek will bring in the browsing experience that we can expect and I want to make a video about that because I think it's pretty impressive so far so you may see me cut in and out of the video several times because I'm gonna have to edit it a lot because it's going to crash a few times and lots of other stuff so let's get into it here's one problem it installs into the game's folder after you install it but I'm going to launch it and it's going to take a long time to launch so I will come back into the video once it's open okay here we are right now and we see an address bar at the top we see a Go button and a bookmark button there's also more over to the right that i'm going to show you but here's something cool if you drag your finger right here on the screen and you got to do it just right you will get a little a little tab come up that will show you your open tabs which is really cool so you can get little thumbnails of all the websites that you're on and of course you can add a new window by pressing the plus button it's really neat way to do tab management if you're browsing multiple sites if we go to the right side of the screen and obviously this will probably be on one screen once it's finished we have the favorite button and if you tap on it it will turn from a outline of a star to a star kind of like the fire the new version of Firefox does we can press the button down here which will go into settings and once in settings we get the kind of get add-ons extensions the same kind of look that we have on the desktop version of Mozilla Firefox so presumably will be able to get add-ons and extensions for fennec which will be pretty cool other windows mobile browsers do not have this and there are other settings here to this looks like a download manager though it's probably not going to come up very well let's see yeah not going to come up and then go to this one which is kind of some settings about JavaScript and cookies and that sort of thing here's something that's pretty neat as you start typing the address fennec will suggest web addresses for you and it's already pulling up Google on typing WWE google com up there and also it gives you quick links to Wikipedia answers.com yahoo and google so I'm just going to tap right where it says Google and it'll go to the page and when a page is loading in the upper left corner you get a little swirl in a circle to let you know that the page is loading which is not there right now and once the page is loaded I'm kind of like the desk desktop version of Firefox you can tap up here next to the URL to get identity information so it'll tell you if it as a valid security certificate things like that it's a really a feature that we haven't seen yet on a mobile browser that's implemented this way and it's it's quite a handy way to check out if a website's legitimate and that sort of thing okay here we are in the bookmark menu and it's very simple right now of course this isn't the final thing and if we click on edit see what will happen well quite simply we can add the name put some tags in there and that sort of thing so that's pretty much it for the tour of fennec like I said it's very unstable right now but it's very promising in the way that it brings kind of the firefox 3 like experience to mobile devices so we have easy tab management security settings and features and of course the extensions and add-ins and I'm really curious to see what comes out of that that should be interesting so that's it for now on fennec
