Latest Firefox for Mobile (Fennec) for Fremantle
I compiled the latest Fennec and uploaded it to my custom repository. My goal for this repository is to gather the software, necessary for the use of cryptographic smart cards on Maemo 5 in one place.
I'll try to keep Fennec up-to-date. If you're interested please check here. This is the first time I build Firefox, so I might have missed something. Any comments and suggestions are welcome. Updates

You may want to join #maemo and ping me or zeq, we're trying to bring usable upstream fennec to Fremantle for the last 2-3 months, another helping hand will be of use :) EDIT: Nice to see another guy from Bulgaria here :) |

Re: Latest Fennec for Fremantle
I have tried your fennec build. Kind of like it. Loads fast except has no portrait orientation. Keep up the effort.

Re: Latest Fennec for Fremantle
I have also installed your version of fennec. Works reasonably good, although I haven't played with it a lot (gmail, google reader, talk.maemo.org -- all seem to work fine :)
Add.: this package is NOT optified (which I generally find good). In this case, Fennec takes about 35MB off the root partition. So any testers may want to check if that's OK. |
Re: Latest Firefox for Mobile (Fennec) for Fremantle
ok, that was a bit of a disaster. the fact that it wasn't optified caught me out.
i had fennec 12 installed and that wasn't so bad. my question is: is there anyway to get an optified version of 17(or 18 ) without going the cssu/thumb2 route. i've just put too much effort in to my phone at this point to blatently risk a reflash to back something out. |
Re: Latest Firefox for Mobile (Fennec) for Fremantle
I updated the version of Firefox to 16. It's now optified.

Re: Latest Firefox for Mobile (Fennec) for Fremantle
Firefox 17 was released on November 20th. I uploaded it to my repository today. It's optified again.

Re: Latest Firefox for Mobile (Fennec) for Fremantle
uhhh? How can fennec 17 be released on 20th november while fennec 17 was already in thumb repo for some months?
What´s the difference + any chance this version will come in thumb too? |

Please use the patches made by me and sjnewbury from the above repo. They fix a lot of stuff, like rotation and zoom support. Some of them could be upstreamed though. EDIT: look at those too: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770845 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775881 |

thanks for fennec. Still slow but much better then before. By any chance will you release a thumb version too? Or maybe freemangordon will compile one the one in thumb repo crashes too much in my N900:confused: |
Re: Latest Firefox for Mobile (Fennec) for Fremantle
And also when am trying apt-get upgrade in terminal fennec is also being replaced with the one in thumb repo.

Version 17 worked on SCCU-Thumb with KP51r1 until I changed the language from English (US) to Auto-detect. Then it started crashing immediately after start. Fixed by deleting the fennec folder in ~/.mozilla.
Seems slow, but I have not done a real comparison with MicroB yet. MicroB isn't exactly Lighning McQueen either. |

Note: recent changes fixed the mess created by invalid inclusion of some header files in case of non Maemo builds:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=814979 I.e. any kind of ifdefs shouldn't do this kind of stuff: Code:

Re: Latest Firefox for Mobile (Fennec) for Fremantle
I can't download fennec_17.0_armel.deb, I get 404 error.
I also heard that is has problems with post-removal script, at least with purge option, and maybe others too, but I can't confirm that as I can't download it. |

I cannot guarantee that Fennec 17 deb isn't corrupt, though. It seems to be much smaller in size than Fennec 16 deb. The debs are too large to attach directly (about 16MB each). Here is the link. Best wishes. __________________ Per aspera ad astra... |

At attempt to remove Fennec 17 I receive:
