Installing Fennec
System requirements:
-

-
Minimum: ARMv5, 128Mb RAM
-
While our goal is to run on a number of devices, our development and testing efforts have primarily focused on the HTC Touch Pro, Samsung Omnia II, and the Acer neoTouch devices.
If you don't have a Windows Mobile device, you can install the mobile version of Fennec on your desktop in order to test, provide feedback and build add-ons. The desktop versions are intended for development purposes only.
* note: Since this alpha release of Fennec is unsigned, you will be prompted by the OS before loading each .dll and .exe in Fennec (20 separate prompts during installation and first run). We only recommend using the .exe installer on a device with the security turned off. If your device has security turned off, download the exe installer here
