Firefox Mobile browser hits Alpha 2, still doesn't work on your phone
Fennec Alpha 2 looks a lot like Alpha 1. But there are a few changes under the hood. The browser features faster panning and zooming, and it's more responsive when pages are loaded. Fennec also now features a Firefox 3-like "awsome bar" which will search your browser history as you start to type, making the process of finding the pages you're looking for much faster. That's a handy feature on a desktop feature, but cutting down on keystrokes could make it a killer feature in the mobile version of Fennec.
There's also a new popup blocker, password manager, and option to clear private data. Fennec Alpha 2 also lets you search your download manager, much the way you can in Firefox 3.

"When Fennec grows up, it will probably be called something like Firefox Mobile and it will run on your cellphone."
As long as your cellphone has a touchscreen, obviously. Maybe they all will by then!
