The super easy way for N900 owners. For extension developers or users who would like to keep up with the latest and greatest copies of Mobile Firefox, Joel Maher is graciously hosting a debian repository (UPDATE: an official repository is now available–URL has been changed from Joel’s to official):
- In MicroB, the default browser, navigate to http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/repos/1.9.2_multi/1.9.2_multi_nightly.install (short url: http://bit.ly/6ccalh).
- You will be asked to add the catalog, which has the nightly packages needed. Click Add.
- “fennec” will now be available as a package in the application manager from the “Download” menu. Install it.
- Watch for the yellow exclamation mark in your notification area every morning, or whenever you feel like it. Your software updates will include fennec now (you will also see entries for “xulrunner”–Fennec depends on this, so install it too).
We could definitely use your help testing as we grind towards our 1.0 release. If you have any thoughts or find a bug, please ping us on IRC (irc.mozilla.org, channel #mobile) or file a bug.
