After our long trip to Whistler, Canada for the Mozilla Summit 2008, we have now a small trip, only 3h in our awesome high speed train to Barcelona.

This weekend (25th and 26th of October), we are going to a new conference (EU Mozilla Camp 2008) where (please, don’t go :P ) I have a conference about using Firefox, with Nukeador, dukebody (members of Mozilla Hispano) and Alina Mierlus, member of the Mozilla Rumania community. We are talking about Thunderbird, Songbird and another XUL Dark Matter (programs built on the top of Mozilla Source Code).

So, see you tomorrow!

Fennec 1.0a1 and… Tracemonkey!

We have Fennec 1.0a1

Nice build, a lot of bugfixes, only works on Nokia N800 and N810, and Windows Mobile builds are on the way, but there are builds of Fennec for Windows, Mac and Linux. Check it out here.

But since M8, we have a very nice feature: Tracemonkey.

Type about:config in the awesome(fennec) bar. Filter by: jit and activate (to true) the two preferences.

Maybe Tracemonkey for Firefox is: “Hey! Gmail looks like it is a little bit more smooth”, but for Fennec (where processors are slow), “Hey, it tooks only one second!! not 5!!”

So, Fennec Team: THANKS!!
