Install on Window Mobile HTC Pure froze and blocking HTC Touchpro 3D App

I tried installing the latest Alpha version (4) of Fennec on an AT&T HTC Pure today. The HTC Pure uses Windows Mobile 6.5.1 and has ~234MB of memory with 110MB free on my device. The installation was successful. When I tried to open the app. the device froze and I had to remove the battery to restart the phone. When restarting the phone Touchpro repeatedly failed to load and initialize with error messages stating that the following files couldn't open: manila.exe, services.exe and opera.exe. Additionally, several applications that I had added wouldn't open giving an error message

Re: Phennec and Phishing

I suspect stronger heuristic approaches paired on the type of action a user is performing (ie: entering information via web form on a site to which they've never previously navigated) would yeild better results. I also suspect that these are already conversations someone in the mobile group are having (about how-if-at-all to deal with the DB, or if another solution is neded). You're right though - we should be having this conversation with the Chromium and SafeBrowsing teams to see if we can work together for a better solution for mobile. cheers, mike ----- Original Me

Phennec and Phishing

I'm told that Fennec, on sites, shows the favicon and page title instead of the URL. http://designnewsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/fennec.png If that's true, how do you guard against phishing? Both the page title and favicon are under the control of the site. So in the Fennec UI, there would be no difference between: http://www.gmail.com/, page title "Gmail", gmail favicon http://www.somewhere-else.com/, page title "Gmail", gmail favicon Is this right?

fennec output to OS console

I don't seem to get any output on the OS console when I run fennec on windows. Hints? jjb

How do I make the emulator not use the OS UI

I would love to use the Fennec emulator to create screenshots, but there are instances where parts of the Mac ui are used. Example: <http://ilias.ca/screenshots/fennec-macui.png> Notice how the "All Departments" drop-down menu has the blue arrows. Is there any way to turn that off, so my screenshots look as they would to an N900 user?

Building for Maemo -- Mozconfig change.

I cleaned up some of the defines that Mozilla uses when building Maemo (see bug 543976). If you are building for Maemo, you must change your mozconfig starting last night. Please add this line to your mozconfig: ac_add_options --with-maemo-version=5 Release engineering has already updated their builders (545084). Thanks Aki! If you are writing code and need it to be specific to maemo, you can use the new #define: MOZ_PLATFORM_MAEMO It is set to 5 for anything that is "Hildon" based. So if you are running the diablo or chinook sdk, the MOZ_PLATFORM_MAEMO should be 5.

Fuel for fennec?

I tried to load up Chromebug on Fennec desktop linux, but failed with: Error: Cc['@mozilla.org/fuel/application;1'] is undefined Source File: file:///home/bartonjj/.mozilla/fennec/1hd8y1kj.default/extensions/chromebug@johnjbarton.com/components/chromebug-startup-observer.js Line: 18 Does that mean fennec does not have fuel or ? jjb

Firefox for Windows Mobile is dead ?

I'm seeing releng has fully removed the building of Wince from the build platform. Not just reduced the number of builds including that platform, but has not left a single one with it apparently. Not just disabled, but removed the code from the scripts. (bug 543067) Is Firefox for Windows Mobile dead and buried ? Without actually building the code, bitrot happens very fast.

Reminder: Support forum @ Firefox Help for Mobile

If you're hacking on Firefox mobile, we really need your help with a lot of the support questions being asked in the forum. http://mobile.support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum.php?locale=en-US&forumId=5 We're in the very early stages of building a community around this new product, which means that the support questions are being asked by early adopters, and as such they're more geared towards developers. I think this is a great opportunity to build more excitement among the early adopters, so I encourage everyone here to jump over to the forum and answer any questions you kno

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Friday morning, the Mozilla RelEng team is going to be changing where nightly and incremental mobile builds are being uploaded. We will start uploading new nightly and incremental mobile builds under /pub/mozilla.org/mobile on the staging server instead of under pub/mozilla.org/firefox. Our reasoning is that with the release of Fennec 1.0 imminent, mobile builds are important enough (and we generate enough different versions of them now) that they deserve their own space.

Can not change my input anymore

I use a HTC Touch HD and installed Fennec but removed it again as it was not working proper. Yesterday is suddenly saw that I can not switch anymore from ABC to 123 at the standard keyboard. Then tried to change the input-methode at Setting-> Presonal -> Input but the changes are not eccepted anymore. So I can not change anymore from full QWERTY input methode to example Keyboard or Letter Reconizer. Now I am not sure if the installation of Fennec is the problem but I would not know what else would have change anything in my device Anyone has any idea how to fix this problem ? (Ex

Fennec/Firefox for Maemo 1.0 will be based on Gecko 1.9.2.1

followup-to: mozilla.dev.platform Hey there, We all knew it was coming, but we've gotten to the point where the Gecko = platforms being used for Firefox and Fennec are diverging.=20 Firefox 3.6 / Gecko 1.9.2 will ship tomorrow, using builds based off the = FIREFOX_3_6rc2_BUILD1 FIREFOX_3_6rc2_RELEASE tag on the mozilla-1.9.2 = branch. Fennec 1.0 RC3 will be built next week, and should be numbered Gecko = 1.9.2.1. While it's not essential, I think it could easily be built from = mozilla-1.9.2 tip, which is bitwise identical to the existing release = branch that's been used for

Mobile Firefox RC Testday Tomorrow!

We're holding a testday on Mobile Firefox RC tomorrow from 7AM - 5PM PDT for the latest RC of Mobile Firefox 1.0 on Maemo Devices! If you don't have a Maemo-based device, you can also download desktop builds for the latest release. For a list of things we anticipate doing tomorrow, take a look at the following link: https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Fennec#Testing_Strategy To download the latest build for your platform, you can go over to https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/1.0/releasenotes/ for the newest release candidate build.

increase/decrease the width and/or height

It would be nice if there were a way to increase/decrease the width and/or height for the overall browser. One thing that I notice when using the mobile browsers are that most sites don't take into account the low resolution of the cellphones, so the web pages don't seem come out looking like they're supposed to.

Want to contribute to Mozilla for android.

Hello, I am an mobile application developer with experience on J2ME, Blackberry and android platforms.Primarily a Java developer, I have some basic know how of C and C++. I would like to contribute to developing mozilla firefox for mobile devices. After going through the what has been going on at this front (https:// wiki.mozilla.org/Fennec), I think that I can be useful in developing the UI of firefox for android devices. I wrote to mozilla foundation about my interest and they replied that I should post to this forum. Can anyone tell me how to get started ?? Thanks,

google

i'm unable to get google to properly work in this browser. this is because of their new interface, you have to move the mouse on the screen to get all the options to pop up now but in fennec no matter what i do i can't get any of the stuff on the top of the page to come into view. if i want to check my gmail i have to search gmail in the box and then click the first link or type gmail into the URL. which isn't that big of a deal but this issue really should be fixed

Cool. Installed to my new netbook.

So I read somewhere online that this "Fennec" web browser was also good for netbook use, recognizing that sometimes the smaller screen is a pain, because you constantly have to rely on the scrollbars to see the whole page. Howver, with this browser, it opens up the whole screen, and really allows you to see the "big picture" better. Thanks Fennec.

changing ABI for windows mobile

Tomorrow I plan to land bug 515748 which will change the ABI for windows mobile from arm-wince to arm-wince-winmo. If you are building for windows mobile you'll need to change --target=arm-wince to --target=arm-wince-winmo in your mozconfig once it lands. -Brad

en-US single-locale being uploaded to different location

To fix this we upload now the single-locale under a sub-directory. You will find the en-US single-locale build under the "en-US" subdirectory under "latest" directories on ftp: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mobile-1.9.2/en-US/ For more details: * Bug 529140 - upload Fennec single-locale tar and deb files under "en- US" sub-directory Cheers, Armen

Can't login to weave on n810 maemo

Hi, On weave plugin Add-ons pages 'Connect' and 'Sync Now' buttons do nothing when clicked. I have installed fennec version 1.0b5 and weave version 0.8. The buttons go dark grey to show they have been clicked but nothing else happens. I checked my username and password on another computer to ensure they were correct. Cheers Mark.

Add-on Options

The override option described at: http://starkravingfinkle.org/blog/2009/09/fennec-handling-add-on-options/ .... is quite straightforward. However, what if there is no options url to override? So, the mobile add-on is sharing the same code-base as the desktop add-on, and the latter has no options, i.e. no em:optionsUrl. Know any good hacks to keep the button disabled on desktop while enabling it on mobile? - Brian

Mobile device sniffing

Hey, I'm Alex, I work on the webdev team, and currently I'm helping build out the mozilla.com/mobile pages. Similar to Firefox for desktop, we'll need platform and locale detection for serving up the correct download links to users. I am starting to write this code now. So far, here's what I know... * We support n810 and n900 platforms, with Windows Mobile on the way * I found these example user agent strings on deviceatlas.com n900 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux armv7l; gb-GB; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090814 Firefox/3.5 Maemo Browser 1.3.11.1 RX-51 http://deviceatlas.com/

Changes to the Maemo nightly builds (multi-locale)

Hello all, As of today we are going to be generating with the nightly Maemo build the multi-locale version of it. You will currently see the nightly logs *RED* but if you look closely you will notice that one of the locales has to come up to date before the build can go green. The multi-locale should still be usable, The en-US build is independent from the multi-locale even though it is created in the same build machine. These are the multi-locale's deb files: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mobile-1.9.2/fennec_1.0b5pre_armel.deb http://ftp.mozilla.org

FYI: I have solved the problem that xulrunner built on custom CE6 SDK with jemalloc cannot work.

Hi, It turned out that some APIs in CE6 SDK called _msize (which is associated with malloc/free). So, it's fairly easy to solve this problem: 1. export _msize from mozce_shunt just like malloc/free 2. add dummy APIs (exported api that calls malloc/free/_msize) to all corrupted DLLs/EXEs 3. to make sure that no malloc/free/_msize/realloc imported from DLL, you can use a perl script to analyze the .map files With jemalloc enabled, I can load desktop versions of google maps and google mail on my CE6 device now. -- city-anchoret

HOME BUTTON

Problems of building fennec from source code

Hi, I'm trying to build fennec from source code. I followed https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Build/Fennec But the build was not successful. There were several undefined errors. I think maybe it's because it's in active development. So I have to choose a stable source code base to build, like the one for 1.0b4. Which branch or tag should I use? Thanks! Jie

Fennec and SNAV

SNAV is currently disabled in Fennec.

Fennec - Configure

Hi there I'd like configure Fennec in order to: - Launch and go to/browse a pre-set URL - User should not be able to enter other URLs (User stays on the website I told him to...) - User should not be able to change any Fennec settings nor to add/ manage "favourites" Is that possible?

HTC Touch HD

I installed Fennec Alpha 3 on my HTC Touch HD. It's underwhelming. The left and right scroll is slow and draggy. The soft keyboard gets stuck on the screen with no way to minimise it. It's far from obvious how to access bookmarks. When I tried to open google.co.uk I got a 'page not found' error (perfectly accessible with the other browsers on my phone). Then the 'not found' page randomly zoomed to a huge size and there was no obvious way to resize it. Generally a bit crappy, even for an alpha release.

ActiveX on WinCE?

I just had a WinCE tryserver build fail in the compilation of embedding/browser/activex/src/plugin. My understanding was that Mozilla didn't support ActiveX for philosophical reasons. This article (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Activex) claims that it's not officially supported, but doesn't dive into rationale. Has this changed for WinCE? Cheers, Chris

Capping the Fennec Test Matrix

We currently have two ways of thinking about mobile versions of Firefox. One is a method centered around consideration of the code and the other is centered around the behavior of the product on the target device. This is a typical difference of perspective between development and testing, respectively. Because testing is focused on the different behaviors of the system, each OS plus hardware becomes a different operating environment. For a very simple instance of this compare the input methods of the Omnia versus the Omnia 2 device. Then compare those input methods with t

can u try and make fennec a phone browser that works for a variety of phones. (specifically n81 8gb) because n800 isn't as popular as all the other phones put together. you'd get more fans in this way also. just a suggestion, but please do make it compatible soon.

Fennec on ARM

Hi, I Build Fennec for ARM using the scratchbox toolchain. I did make pakage and tried to install the pakage on qemu emulator running ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty. I get an error message: "Can not load XPCOM" since I don't have liblocation0 installed. I tried to install liblocation0 but there are dependencies with other libs (libgtk2.0-0, libgpsmgr...) that can't be installed (not sure why).
