Alpha release are usually buggy and this is no exception. When we tested Fennec on the Touch Pro, it was very buggy and slow. Most of the times, it just DID NOT load anything at all!

The Fennec’s Alpha release is now available for download, but we do not recommend users using it on their devices as:

• It is still meant for use on Touch Pro
• It is still VERY buggy and slow
