Usually pages have a specific page for a mobile version of their website. Sometimes these are optimized for phones with keypads, sometimes for smartphones/mids/tablets/netbooks. These pages start with http://m.website.invalid or have http://invalid.mobi.

With intended audience I refer to people who do not wish to mimic their desktop browser experience on their mobile device. Instead, they will use the pros and cons of the mobile device and adapt the mobile browser to that.

No, I would not want to use Fennec on my desktop. I don't have a small screen on my desktop. I don't have a touchscreen there. I have far more RAM and CPU power there. And I don't have to think about battery power either. I can imagine people who are used to Opera gestures easily falling in love with [such] gestures as on Safari mobile or Fennec.

Back in the 90s we had some of the above restrictions but we usually simply used thin clients, and we had synchronisation with LDAP. Microsoft won the browser war and didn't implement LDAP in their browser.

Xulrunner still uses a lot of space on the tablet, and this won't change. I haven't tried uninstalling it. But I can understand why you'd want to do that.

Keep in mind its an rc of the first beta (b1rc2).

My experience with this release is as follows. Compared to MicroB and Safari mobile it renders the pages in an acceptable speed. Zooming in on text by double clicking doesn't work well. When trying to do this on a page with a lot of links (such as http://www.nu.nl which is a popular Dutch news site) this creates trouble. For such, I use multi touch on Safari Mobile and whether I like it or not: it is in such case easy and necessary. On Fennec this is problematic. After having clicked a link on nu.nl I try to zoom in on the text. Doesn't work. The other pages I tried were http://www.maemo.org and http://lifehacker.com (which first got me to the mobile version). Both rendered good and acceptable speed, and the zooming in worked. While browsing around on http://www.nu.nl trying to zoom in on text and scrolling around Fennec crashed. Twice. Zooming in is important on Fennec more so than Safari mobile because the fonts are worse on Linux.
