Firefox For Maemo 1.1 RC 1 Available


Firefox 1.1 RC 1

Firefox for Maemo got yesterday updated to version 1.1 RC 1. As the name suggests, this is the first Release Candidate for the final 1.1 release.

Here is a changelog of the biggest features that have changed from release 1.0 to 1.1:

Some of the bigger features include:

  • Form assistant improvements, including autocomplete
  • Start Page redesign
  • Auto update add-ons
  • New smart-tapping system for better tapping links, fields and buttons
  • Portrait support on N900
  • Context Menu with Open Link in New Tab and Save Image
  • Web content theme update
  • Improved Site Menu
  • Use volume keys to zoom on N900
  • Save page to PDF
  • Built in Crash Reporter

Important note for those of you who installed the 1.0 version via Ovi Store:

If you installed Firefox 1.0.x from the Ovi Store, you will not be able to upgrade to Firefox 1.1 RC 1 (either from the N900 Application Manager or by downloading the software from Mozilla). We are working to solve this for future releases so that anyone can participate in our Beta programs. Don’t worry, though, if you got Firefox 1.0.x from either the Ovi store or directly from Mozilla, you will be updated to Firefox 1.1 (final) when it is released.
