Firefox For Maemo 1.1 RC 1 Available

| June 22, 2010 13:43 UTC | 0 comments | source

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.

Firefox for Nokia’s N900 is now available in the Ovi Store.

GLOBAL – N900 users rejoice, Firefox is ready to download directly from the Ovi Store. Officially released at the start of the month on the Mozilla website, the app has been working its way through the Ovi Store approval process and is now ready for N900 users to download.

This is a big leap for Firefox, as this sparks the first release of the full Firefox experience on a mobile device. There’s a ton of great functionality to get stuck into, and some new mobile-specific functions as well.

One of the best parts of Firefox mobile is the ability to sync with your desktop or laptop browser. Using the Weave Sync plugin, you can keep create a Weave account and keep all your browers in Sync. As Jay shows off in the video below, you’ll be able to pull up pages from your history on a mobile device, which you previously browsed on your desktop.

Check out the video after the break.
