Mozilla is busy developing the mobile version of its browser and the N900 will be the first device to receive the RC version of Mobile Firefox or Fennec next week.

Mozilla is polishing its version of Firefox for smartphones Codenamed “Fennec”, and is preparing to launch a release candidate next week with an official debut coming later this month.

Mozilla’s vice president of mobile, Jay Sullivan, claims the feature-rich browser is “almost an operating system.” The mobile browser is built from the same engine powering Firefox 3.6 and will support extensions, just like the big-boy version.

The Firefox mobile will come with features that includes:

• Support for multitouch displays for a more sophisticated user interface.
• Support for haptic feedback, such as the phone vibrating when a virtual keyboard key is tapped.
• The ability to control a camera.
• Support for Electrolysis, Mozilla’s project to split tasks such as the user interface, tabs, and plug-ins into separate processes. That improves stability and performance, he said.
• Support for JetPack, Mozilla’s next-generation extensions system.
• Integration of the Weave synchronization software so it’s no longer a plug-in.
• Support for WebGL, an interface to provide browsers with accelerated 3D graphics.
• Faster execution of JavaScript programs that are common and increasingly powerful on the Web.

Mozilla stresses that a full web experience is not to be confused to “having a desktop site” in your mobile. What full web experience means that mobile browsers have access to all the development tools and capabilities that desktop machines have. As for the user interface, it needs to be adapted to a mobile usage.
